Often the space behind the door or on the walls is not used. A lot of space is not required for the board, so you can safely hang it on the walls. This will not interfere with your movement around the room and save space. If you decide on this option, choose the upholstery of the ironer to match the color of curtains, furniture or accessories so that it decorates the interior and becomes part of it..

To attach the ironing trowel to the wall, use regular coat hooks that are commonly found in hallways. It is enough to fix two such hooks on the wall and you can already hang the ironing board on them. Just make sure that the fasteners are reliable and withstand the load. For these purposes, choose metal hooks.

For expressive individuals who can slam the door hotly, this option is clearly not suitable. But if you have a calm character and like to ennoble your interior, then you may be interested in the location of the board on the door. You can fix it according to the same principle as on the wall, using hooks.

Just for reliability, so that the trowel does not rattle every time you open and close, mount a few additional nails into the surface of the door and bend them. If necessary, you can fix the ironing board with them, and it will be firmly fixed.

In a drawer

Another very interesting option for storing the trowel is in a drawer. Moreover, it can be both traditional horizontal and vertical. This is very convenient if you have a small board and a chest of drawers or wardrobe of sufficient depth..
