I have two insulation boards 2" thick. I covered them with felt, using clear 2" packing tape for the edges, as if I were doing gift wrapping. Tape is on the back, but also along the edge that sits on the floor so they slide easily and stay clean. I still use pins to make sure pieces will stay in place. Because they're 2" thick, pins stay in well. Felt is white and was on sale at JoAnn's. I love my design boards and keep things I've done or that inspire me on it, besides using it for design.

I really don'thave a place to stash sheets of insulation board or the like. I have a suspended ceiling so I used metal plant hooks that clip to the metal framing structure. Then I took an old flannel sheet, put a rod pocket in one end and inserted a lenght of PVC pipe in that pocket. Attached 'cafe curtain hooks' to the top of the rod pocket. I can hang this sheet against the wall and pin to it. Then it can but taken down and rolled up for storage.

I used insulation board covered with batting for my design wall. I like the insulation board because sometimes I layer my fabrics on the wall, and with the insulation, I can use pins. I actually screwed the insulation into studs. Even though they’re really lightweight, they tended to pull away from wall when I used nails. I love my design wall!
