Using IKEA's Svensås magnetic memo board is an ingenious way to cover any portions of the wall that have been damaged over time. It costs only $13.99 and comes in white or black.
Thanks to the item’s magnetic capabilities, you can attach papers and photos to it, making otherwise dead wall space usable and freeing up your surfaces of paper and other clutter.
The easy-to-mount Svensås is large enough for masking big, immobile wall-mounted hardware, like electrical panels, ethernet ports, or other outlets that taint your wall’s beauty.
The Svensås can be easily removed if you need to access whatever is behind it. To integrate it more seamlessly with your wall’s style, try covering it with fabric or contact paper.
