Instant Order: 16 Simple, Smart Uses of Shaker Peg Rails from the Remodelista Archives

May 2, 2018

If there ever were an object that far out-performed its expectations, it would be the humble Shaker peg rail. It’s a simple design, originally devised by the Shakers to keep communal households organized and to streamline cleaning the floors. But almost every time, hanging a peg rail transforms a room, instantly corralling clutter and adding an artful place for display. Plus, they’re often available for cheap. Here’s a look at a few favorite in-situ peg rails from the Remodelista archives.
