Cork has been an underrated material in many respects despite having a great insulating capacity and being rot-proof. Today, however, this material is regaining prominence in our homes either as a construction material or as decorative material.
Many of us have grown up with a wall cork decorating our bedroom. We used it to hang our favorite photos, memories and notes. And in the same way that they served us to organize those little treasures, we can use them in the rest of the home. Because there are many things that a wall cork can help us organize.
What is cork?
Cork is the bark of the cork oak, a plant tissue With which agglutinated cork panels can be manufactured through a cooking process, which depending on the type of panel will be at a higher or lower temperature. Panels that have a very natural aesthetic that we can take advantage of to print warmth to the spaces or customize in a simple way to adapt them to a specific space.
Paint all or part of the cork panels with bright colors or line these with linen fabrics in neutral colors it is usually the most common way to personalize them. Cork is an inexpensive and very practical material, don't rule it out because you don't like its appearance!

Two years ago we encouraged you to create in your home a family command center in order of organize your day to day. A space in which to check the appointments and unavoidable activities of the week or deposit what you cannot forget when you leave home the next morning.
We then proposed different ways to create it and elements that you might find useful to incorporate such as a calendar, a note board, a filing system or some hooks to hang the keys. Well, the wall cork is a fantastic material to start from.
You can create simple calendars using different colored post-its to differentiate different types of activities or family members. Or simply hang a monthly calendar on the cork to write down everything you don't want to forget. You can also incorporate the weekly menu, medical cards and other decorative details to make it more beautiful.

Would you like to have the photographs of your trips always in view? Have a place to collect the tickets for your latest concerts? A wall cork will allow you to hang all your memories and everything that makes you happy in the same place: photographs, tickets, clippings, plane tickets, inspiring phrases….
This type of panel is also very decorative, becoming the wall in which they are at a point where they stop when one has a bad day or wants to remember a specific experience. It is also ideal for your guests to entertain themselves and as a means for different anecdotes to arise in your meetings.
You can place this type of exhibitors in the room so that everyone can see it or choose a more private place like the bedroom. We love the idea of putting it on the headdress, because that way, in addition to souvenirs, you can also organize some of your favorite accessories.
