I bought some of those temporary command hangers and spaced them on my wall according to the space I needed for each ruler. For those rulers that didn't have "holes" I used one of those butterfly clips and clip into the ruler & hang from the clip. I love it, not quie as cluttery as a pegboard.

My sewing area is in the sunroom which is open to the family room and, therefore, visible to everyone. I try to set things up so that everything looks presentable when I entertain guests without too much fuss.
I, too, use the Command hooks attached to the side of my sewing cabinet, out of sight but close at hand.

Like Pamar, my sewing room is in the smallest bedroom of my small house and the door is usually open, so I also need to keep it presentable. My entire stash, UFOs, and numerous supplies are all in the small 1940s closet to prevent sun damage. I used metal shelves & numerous tension shelves to massively expand the storage inside the closet. My rulers are hung on these purse hangers, they nest together and are only as wide as the rulers and width of the gauge of the wire, once nested. I have rectangular rulers on one, squares on another, wedges on another, add-a-quarters on another, you get it. I also use one to hang my large color wheel and rulers in Ziplocs with the directions. They are really accessible but out of sight when the closet doors are closed. I found them on Amazon and got the idea from a YouTube video on organizing closets.

I got the little stands for pot lids that are plastic with rubberized dividers. I can space them how I like and they
hold the rulers great. Got them at the thrift store much cheaper. I made a kind of pocket for the front one so
it could hold my tiny rulers.
