I too use the foam boards but I store behind curtain of my slider. I have the tables advertised on T.V. that slide under your chair or couch ,sort of C shaped and they are adjustable in height. So you can stand your board higher or using 2 tables you can have them at working height flat

I always thought that my design wall was made from the same material as the backing on those old vinyl tablecloths...I would go to the dollar store and get one to try...might extend your area, but only a dollar lost if it doesn't work.

I ran out of room to set up the design wall, even temporarily. I thought it was too small to begin with. So, I bought a large roll up outdoor shade. Hubby hung it from the ceiling in the sewing room. Originally I thought I would attach flannel. I actually prefer to pin squares to it. (cats like to play and knock clinging squares down) I can roll it up carefully with blocks on it. When not in use it rolls all the way to the ceiling out of the way.

I have fallen in love with 3M's Command brand hangers. There is the version that has metal hooks and another version that the packaging talks about hanging pictures and such things. Take a look at the "hanging pictures" version. You will have to use more than one package to get your design wall up BUT the Command product really works. You can take the hangers off the wall, door, whatever whenever you want to and I have never experienced any damage on the wall, door, cabinet, etc. finish. Heaven knows I have tried these products mightily (sewing room, hanging brooms, etc., pictures, hanging project ideas, and the way I started - our rv. Horizontal room in an rv is almost nil. Vertical room is another story.) But I have probably over made my point.
I also appreciate the fact that there are refill strips available for the hangers that have metal hooks.
Anyway, a nifty product that "delivers."

One thing we did do to all for that is center it on the wall so I have some space right and left and below.

Someone recently posted a link to a blog in which the woman made her design wall out of stretched canvases - she bought blank stretched canvas, stapled batting to each canvas, and then used command hooks to hang them. You could get a couple canvases the right size to 'fill in' where you need to.
