Great observation Quiltmouse. I didn't even see that but it makes sense to me.
Great room for creating great quilts, Angelina.

I'm so sorry. How frustrating! Your room is just lovely.
My first thought was heat source, heat vent/window.
Then I looked at your set up. Check the lower pegboard with a straight-edge or level. I wonder if there is an installation issue. The top of the pegboard is just above those lovely tiles on the wall. I wonder if the pegboard has warped around the tiles, too.

It never amazes me how someone in this group always has the answer needed -- and how many people swarm in to help and try to locate the source of the problem. What a great group!!
So glad your dilemma was solved, AngelinaMaria. You've got a beautiful sewing space!

The uv rays from the sun, even on an overcast day, can melt plastic and fade fabric. Keep them
in a cardboard box and also stay away from clear plastic containers because of the sun exposure
that you have in your room.
I love your sewing room, and I'm sure you will spend many wonderful days in there being creative!!

Um, I have a feeling your rulers did not warp. Looks more to me like your cutting table has a dip in it. Try laying your rulers on something you KNOW is flat, like a kitchen counter top and tell me if you still have this "bowing" issue.
Oops, guess I should have read all the posts before replying! LOL It WAS the table. Believe it or not, I could actually make out a dip in the photo.

Do your rulers get direct sunlight for a good part of the day? You have all those lovely windows and the sunlight might cause the warping. Or do you have a bow in your cutting table, since there is no support under the middle of it? Those long plastic extrusion tables can flex when you apply pressure on them.
I know I have to be careful when cutting on a part of my large cutting mat, since it is curved from being rolled up for a long time before being placed on my cutting table - made from a dining room table.
I don't think the pegboard would cause the problem.
As WishIWas Quilting said, it might be the fireplace as well. I agree change the location of the pegboard if possible.
