If you’ve ever dumped out an entire jewelry box at 7 AM searching for one matching earring, this post is for you.
Meet Gerry’s brilliant solution — a stylish, functional wall jewelry organizer built from an IKEA picture frame, a mirror, and a humble pegboard. Simple materials, zero clutter, total morning-stress-buster.
“I desperately needed something to organize my jewelry, mostly earrings, to avoid a search crisis every morning,” Gerry says.
She figured this out after using a pegboard to organize DIY tools. Then, the lightbulb moment: the same system works beautifully for jewelry.
What You’ll Need
- RAM frame (50 x 70 cm) Ed note: The RAM is discontinued, but this IKEA hack should work with any standard 50×70 cm frame
- Mirror, cut to 50 x 44 cm
- Pegboard, cut to 50 x 26 cm
- Spray paint (your color choice)
- Pegboard hooks for hanging necklaces
- A small basket for stud earrings
How to Make A Wall Jewelry Organizer
- Remove the cardboard backing and plastic window from the frame
- Paint your pegboard and let it dry completely
- Place the mirror and pegboard side by side inside the frame
- Secure both pieces using the small metal tabs at the back of the frame
- Add pegboard hooks for necklaces and a tiny tray for studs
The Result
A wall-mounted jewelry organizer that keeps earrings, necklaces, and studs organized and on display — all within a frame that looks intentional and put-together on your wall.
What we love most about this IKEA hack? The jewelry organizer sits right next to a mirror inside the same frame. You can try on pieces and see exactly how they look without taking a single step. Getting dressed in the morning honestly doesn’t get easier than that.
“So happy!” Gerry exclaims. And we totally understand why.
Make It Your Own
A few easy ways to customize this build:
- Paint the pegboard a bold color to match your bedroom palette
- Add a small shelf below the frame for perfume or rings
- Use decorative hooks instead of standard pegboard hardware for a more polished look
Whether you have a massive jewelry collection or just a few everyday favorites, a DIY wall jewelry organizer like this keeps your morning routine stress-free and your space looking great. All it takes is a frame, a little creativity, and about an hour of your time.
