Hang it on the wall. A simple but effective solution is to raise your ironing board off the floor and hang it on the wall. This prevents it from becoming a trip hazard or a piece of clutter taking up valuable floor space.A garage or utility room could be a good option for this if you want to get your board out of sight when you’re not using it. Just make sure to attach the board so the wall can hold its weight and so someone walking by won’t knock it off. Tell us: Where do you keep your ironing board?
