Among the most useful items you can have for a home office is a good bulletin board. They help you stay organized and let you keep key pieces of information separated from the rest of your work. No matter what board you choose, make sure you have the space to install it and double-check that it includes any mounting gear you might need to avoid an extra cost down the line.

Bulletin boards are typically made of cork, though some use felt. Felt isn’t friendly to sticky notes, but it does accept Velcro-backed objects. Felt also has a unique look that some prefer. If you only plan on using pushpins, you can pick the type of bulletin board you like the look of more.
Some boards are only half cork or felt with the other half being a whiteboard. These are excellent for those who like to make notes or brainstorm without wasting paper. Many whiteboard halves are also magnetic, so you can still pin things to them.
Bulletin boards come in all manner of sizes and some interesting shapes.
Some bulletin boards include a set of pushpins to get you started. Some sets might include 10, while others include 50 or more. Boards that are half whiteboard can include a wider range of extras. The best include a tray that clips to the bottom of the whiteboard half for storing dry-erase markers and erasers. A set of markers and an eraser to fill said tray are also commonly included as well as magnets if the board can hold them.
Small and simple boards typically cost $10-$50. Better quality and larger boards plus those with extras can cost up to $100. Huge boards meant for shared spaces can cost several hundred dollars.
This split board is half cork and half whiteboard. It comes in four sizes ranging from 18 by 24 inches to 48 by 36 inches. It includes pushpins, markers and an eraser.
