Once upon a time the trusty refrigerator not only kept our colby cold, but also doubled as a shrine to family life, thanks to magnets. Its door, adorned with a rotation of bits and bobs from wedding invites and kids art to shopping lists and overdue electricity bills, brought warmth and life the heart of the home by virtue of it's magnetism.
Increasingly these days modern fridges are hidden discretely behind cupboard doors, meaning the gradual disappearance of this sentimental display surface. We love sleek lines and uncluttered kitchens, but remain committed to the idea that every home needs a dedicated space to display everyday treasures and reminders.
Wordbits are ideal refrigerator magnets, but they're also perfect for magnet boards, magnetic walls and anywhere with steel.
Below are some of our favourite magnetic surfaces, no pins holes required!
Strictly speaking a locker is of course not a magnet board, but it is an expansive metal surface that works in any room and doubles as a wardrobe. Mustard Made have reinvigorated lockers for the home with an on-point range of colours and styles, The Twinny being their largest. Styled here with our Mustard Made collaboration Wordbits in their eponymous colour, Mustard.
We met Joey from Growme Melbourne on Instagram soon after launching Wordbits. Trained as an architect, her sturdy and beautifully designed Moodyboards have thoughtful touches such as a shelf ledge for keys, pens and other displays, and an optional mirror attachment.
This one blew my mind when I discovered it... magnetic wallpaper! Officially called Systexx Active Magnetic and manufactured in Germany by Vitrulan it's available in smooth or textured surface finish, the paper is applied to walls like standard wallpaper that can be painted over with regular paint. Styled here alongside Wordbits in the London home of Victoria Summer.
