A pegboard is possibly one of the most functional pieces a kitchen could have. It’s beyond just a magnetic knife strip, a pot rack, a utensil crock—it’s all of these things and more. Home cooks have been employing this modular (before modular was en vogue) system for decades, and that’s because it works. Seeing all you have on hand in a kitchen is crucial for successful cooking, and it makes life that much easier when you need to reach for a small saucepan or quickly have to grab a whisk.
Of course, the grandmother of all pegboards was Julia Child, who favored practicality above most things. Her iconic kitchen—with its saturated blue pegboard walls and a litany of well-used tools and copper pots—have served as inspiration for countless cooks to come, so much so that it’s actually memorialized in several different museums.
