That's how mine is too, inexpensive and works well.

My husband made mine I covered it in flannel. It takes up most of one wall.

I bought two sheets of the 4' x 8' "pink panther" board at HD. Had to cut a few inches off each of them with a razor knife as we have 8' ceilings. Then bought a king-size fleece blanket on sale. Cut it in two and it easily covered each. "Laced" it together on the back of each with string. I just have them leaning against the wall. Can easily take them to the basement if I want to when company stays in the room. Pins go in easily when you need to make things more stable. A quick swipe with the lint roller is all that is needed to get the inevitable threads off. If I didn't have these, a flannel backed tablecloth would be my choice.

Flannel sheet, curtain rod in sleeve on top and bottom to keep it hanging straight. Hung up using several large command hooks.

We just did an 8 ft high by 10 foot wide design wall in my sewing room. Husband found 1/2 inch sound insulation board which we trimmed to fit and then I covered with Warm and Natural batting. It is good to use either a basting spray or light adhesive but not 100% necessary. I pulled around the back and stapled down. Then we screwed into furring strips on the wall. These were only necessary since we wanted to go over the molding that was along the floor.

The Warm and Natural is sturdy enough to pull smooth without making holes and it looks great and things stick. I can layout a whole quilt on the wall by just smoothing the pieces in place. Heavier blocks and chuncks are easily pinned in place. The batting which was on sale was the best choice for me.

Same here with insulation board. I have one of those houses too. Ours has a barn roof, so the walls angle. I cut my board at 6'. Because it is so light, you can move it anywhere. I put a flannel backed tablecloth on it & used large binder clips to hold it in place.

that is what i am doing now. i put hooks in top hem and then hang it from those press in angled picture hanger things that i have put into top of trim arounf deck door. i hace a 1/2" wood dowel from ace hardware in bottom hem to hold it out straight. easy to take down when we have company at meal times. then hang it right back up again. last house i had a spare bedroom for a sewing room. we had bought a new refrigerater and i used the packing carton covered with felt for a design board. hubs & i screwed it to wall w wide washers. it hung and was still in excellent condition when i moved after 13 years. in fact it was so rigid still that i had a little trouble taking it down by myself ).

I went to Home Depot and bought a piece of foam insulation, the kind they insulate houses with. I cut it down a bit, I think it was a 4' x 8' sheet, covered it with flannenl (wrapped the flannel around and pinned to the back.) I atached a board across the top, then put large eye hooks on the board, then put screws into the wall above the closet and attached wire to that, which ends in a loop. The eye hooks hook onto the wire loop. It can be taken down and storeed in the garage when not needed.

Beach Bum, I know you have a low ceiling but maybe you can hang from ceiling, or hang horizontally
