Whiteboards have been office staples for years, allowing flexible brainstorming and collaborating. But the lack of privacy and plain appearance leaves much to be desired. Enter the secret whiteboard – an innovative solution hiding a fully-functional whiteboard behind interchangeable art.
Secret whiteboards from Sable Flow utterly transform offices by promoting creativity, focus, and privacy. The clever design enhances company culture while matching any decor scheme. This comprehensive guide will showcase all the benefits of analog tools plus features to look for when purchasing a secret whiteboard.
What Makes Secret Whiteboards Special?
Traditional wall-mounted whiteboards openly display notes, to-do lists, and meeting minutes for all to see. They rarely match office design aesthetics. Secret whiteboards solve both issues with a hidden magnetic whiteboard behind customizable art prints.
The two-sided whiteboard surface allows convenient use, then fully conceals contents behind the swapped out print. The strong magnetic closure also enables securely separating work and personal time. No more end-of-day erasing marathons!
With three sizes – small, medium and large – secret whiteboards accommodate solo use up to team meetings. The double-sided writing surface facilitates collaborating and interacting. Matching black or white frames coordinate flawlessly with any wall colors and decor.
Built-in storage compartments in the frame minimize desktop clutter by keeping markers, erasers, and magnets handy yet hidden. The continual opened/closed action also feels rewarding for the brain versus a perpetually exposed whiteboard. Overall, secret whiteboards promote focus, clarity, and ideation.

Benefits of Analog Tools like Whiteboards in the Digital Office
Despite our worship of digital realms, analog office tools still provide unique advantages. The physicality enhances natural cognitive abilities and social connections.
Prevent technology fatigue
Non-stop use of devices like phones, tablets and computers now causes tech fatigue in over 50% of people. Tactile tools like whiteboards give eyes, hands and minds an analog break. Studies show just 20 minutes daily on arts/crafts relieves stress and rejuvenates mental resources.
Improved memory and creativity
Physically writing engages motor memory to support recall. Students scoring handwritten notes performed better on tests than typing notes by nearly one letter grade. The fluidity of markers on whiteboards also stimulates visual-spatial pathways linked to enhanced creativity.
Collaborative team building
Whiteboards facilitate working through challenges together by externalizing thoughts visually. Research shows collaborating at whiteboards increases bonding by over 40% compared to people independently using separate devices. The informal interactions build relationships.
Promotes open communication
Having ideas openly visible removes barriers to discussion and speeds consensus reaching. Everyone stays on the same page during meetings and brainstorms. Studies show whiteboard use leads to more than 30% faster decisions and aligning.
Flexibility and ease of use
Whiteboards have nearly unlimited applications from listing goals, managing projects, working through problems, note taking, documentation, and more. They operate simply without needing charging, software updates, WiFi connections or technical troubleshooting.
Choosing the Right Secret Whiteboard
With an abundance of benefits, focus next on which secret whiteboard suits your office needs:
Consider number of users
Small boards work well for individuals and two to three collaborators. Larger teams will benefit from medium or bigger models allowing more workspace.
Match office design scheme
Select black or white frames to coordinate with wall colors and overall aesthetics. Measure dimensions to envision scale too.
Location with easy access
Place centrally for high visibility and access if frequently used. But edges of rooms or semi-private nooks allow focused use by a few.
Account for lighting
Ensure adequate overhead lighting for visibility. Secret whiteboards should have similar conditions as traditional boards.
Accessories and Enhancements
Customize secret whiteboards further with:
- Specialty markers like colorful neon or metallic
- Magnetic clips to hold up papers
- Custom printed graphics to hot swap
- Floating glass boards to "hide" openly
- Sleek aluminum frames for an upscale minimalist look
The possibilities are endless!
