The 12 Best Wall Calendars of 2022

Considering all the meetings, deadlines, birthdays, kids' activities, holidays, and social events you probably need to keep track of, it's nice to have a calendar in full view. Yes, digital planners and virtual appointment schedulers certainly do the trick, but there's something about a paper version that's all the more satisfying. Not only that, but wall-mounted calendars can enhance the aesthetic of your workspace or kitchen.

"When looking for a wall calendar, it's important to consider both form and function," says Shira Gill, a professional organizer and the author of Minimalista: Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Better Home, Wardrobe, and Life. "Pay attention to size, color, style, graphics, and font to ensure that the calendar you pick reflects your personal style and fits in with the overall aesthetic of your home or office."

So, which wall calendars stand out from the rest? We did the research and found the best options on the market for every taste and budget.

Dimensions: 12 x 16 inches | Material: Cardstock paper, walnut or maple handle | Reusable: Yes, paper can be refilled

"I love this stylish calendar, which comes with a pretty maple or walnut hanger," Gill says. Peony Papeterie's Minimal Calendar is printed on dense yet soft cardstock, which clamps to the clipboard-style hanger with a strong metal lever.

You'll get six double-sided pages, each 12 inches wide and 16 inches long. At the end of every month, unclip the stack and flip to the appropriate page. The handmade hanger is finished with pure linseed oil and attaches to the wall with a nylon-coated steel wire. We also like that once you have the hanger, you can just order page refills each year.

For those on a budget (and those who want something more traditional), we recommend the Zicoto Floral Wall Calendar. It comes with 17 months (August through the following December), so you can get a head start on next year's planning. Additionally, holidays are noted on the pages, and you'll have room to write on each date. We also like that the wirebound design makes it easy to flip between sheets.

Dimensions: 36 x 124 inches | Material: Acrylic, aluminum | Reusable: Yes

To take your calendaring to the next level, consider the Iridescent Calendar from PB Teen. This splurge-worthy scheduler is made of transparent acrylic with spacers between the surface and the wall, which creates a floating effect and cool shadows behind the lines. You'll get all the mounting hardware you need to attach it to your wall, plus a dry-erase marker. It's expensive, but you'll be able to use it year after year.

Dimensions: 19.5 x 9.5 inches | Material: Mohawk superfine paper, steel hanger | Reusable: No

For something sentimental, consider the Modern Wall Calendar from Artifact Uprising. You can personalize it by uploading your own photos or imagery, selecting a unique picture for each month. The ultra-white paper is ideal for writing within the dates, and when you flip to the next month, you can tear your photo off along the perforated lines and frame it. You can also highlight special dates and occasions for each month, like birthdays and anniversaries, to make it even more special.

Dimensions: 15 x 11 inches | Material: 100# eggshell textured coverstock, gold hardware | Reusable: No

If you're the type of person who starts using a new calendar in the middle of the year, the Appointed Wall Task Calendar has your name on it. Thanks to the undated design, you can begin using it any month or year and fill in the dates as needed. We also appreciate that the pages are made of high-quality cardstock and easily tear off. Plus, this calendar comes with gold hardware so you can hang it in style.

Measuring 17 x 17 inches, this square calendar is printed on eco-friendly paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). It doesn't come with hardware, but two nails should do the trick—and while the individual days don't have boxes to write in, there is plenty of room to add notes and reminders.

Dimensions: 19.25 x 12.25 inches | Material: Paper | Reusable: No

If you have a soft spot for floral-printed paper, you'll love the Paper Source's Botanical Blotter. Each month features a unique border of seasonal blooms and blossoms, and the large grid-style dates offer plenty of room to write in appointments and events. This calendar is also quite versatile, and can be hung up on the wall or laid flat on the desk, so it'll work with you whatever your needs are.

This sizable calendar measures 30 x 21 inches and has 12 monthly pages, each featuring a different hue and printed on tree-free paper certified by the FSC. Just a heads up—you'll have to buy a hanger frame separately, or you can just tape each month up as it comes.

Final Verdict

Our number one pick is the Peony Papeterie Simply Bold Wall Calendar, which comes recommended by a professional organizer (view at Etsy). It attaches to the wall with a handmade wood hanger and features double-sided cardstock pages for each month.

What to Look for in a Wall Calendar

Size

One of the most important considerations when browsing wall calendars is the size. They come in a variety of dimensions, ranging from poster-size to medium to travel-friendly and everything in between.

In addition to the dimensions, think about whether you want room to write within the dates. "Make sure to clarify your specific needs before you buy," says Gill. "Do you need space to jot down notes or important events, or do you just want to see a month at a glance?"

Material

If you think calendars are all made of the same material, well…you'd be surprised. There are standard paper calendars, then you've got higher-end cardstock options with thick, durable pages. For the eco-conscious camp, there are wall calendars made with sustainable paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Then you've got whiteboard-style calendars, which can be used year after year since they're made of traditional enamel-coated aluminum or transparent acrylic.

Aesthetic

Beyond the size and material, you should consider the overall aesthetic—after all, it'll be displayed on your wall like a piece of art. While there's nothing wrong with a pared-down design, Gill recommends considering what you envision for a wall calendar. "Do you want your calendar to serve as art or room décor or just help you feel more in control of your schedule?"

There are lots of excellent floral options, designs with inspirational quotes, and multi-colored tear-off models, along with customizable calendars that allow you to use your own photos or graphics.
