Custom Notice Boards, Made to Fit Your Space
April 29, 2026
The best notice board starts with how you plan to use it. Cork boards are ideal for pinned reminders, recipes and family notes. Whiteboards are better for lists, planning and regular changes. Blackboards
create a softer, more decorative writing surface.
Once you know the board type, look at the wall size and the furniture around it. A board should feel proportionate, with enough breathing room around the frame.
If you need a notice board in a specific size, we can make it for you.
Because all of our notice boards are handmade, we’re not limited to standard dimensions. Whether you’re working with a defined wall area, an awkward corner, or a specific purpose, we can create something that fits properly — both practically and visually.
You might be:
– Filling a wall in a kitchen, hallway, or home office
– Working around sockets, shelves, or other fixed features
– Looking for a board to fit a map or print you already have
Whatever your space, we can make a notice board to suit it.
Frame Styles & Bespoke Finishes
Our full range of frame styles is available across all board types — including cork boards, whiteboards, and blackboards.
If you’re after something more specific, we can also source alternative frame mouldings or offer custom-painted finishes as part of our bespoke service.
Everything is handmade in Birmingham, with a focus on quality, detail, and creating something that works within your space.
Large Notice Boards
We specialise in large notice boards for wider wall spaces, commercial settings, and statement pieces within the home.
– Typical maximum size: up to around 240 × 120 cm
– Larger boards require appropriate frame support to ensure stability
– We’ll guide you on the best frame options for your chosen size
For boards over approximately 150 × 100 cm, we may recommend stronger frame profiles and arrange specialist delivery to ensure everything arrives safely.
Large notice boards are commonly used in:
– Kitchens and open-plan spaces
– Offices and studios
– Schools and commercial environments

Measuring Your Space
If you’re unsure what size to choose, a few simple steps can help:
– Measure the width and height of your space
– Take measurements in multiple places (especially in alcoves)
– Use masking tape to visualise the size on your wall
– Allow a little breathing room around the edges
If you’re not completely sure, just send us what you have — we’re happy to guide you.
Fixings That Work for Your Wall
We provide fixings suited to both your board size and wall type:
– Smaller boards: picture hanger fixings (simple to install)
– Larger boards: mirror plate fixings (secure with screws and plugs)
For larger boards, we can also offer hidden spring lock fixings for a clean, seamless look (available at an additional cost).
If you have a preference, just let us know.
Pricing
Each custom notice board is priced based on its size, materials, and frame.
Because everything is made to order, some custom sizes may involve additional materials or labour — but we always aim to keep pricing fair and transparent, with no surprises.
Looking for Something More Bespoke?
If your project involves more specific requirements — such as sourcing a particular frame, custom paint finishes, or a more design-led brief — this falls under our bespoke service.
For these enquiries, it’s best to get in touch by email so we can discuss your ideas in more detail.
