Chalkboard Paint

Chalkboard paint is truly as fun and exciting as it sounds. With a uniquely produced formula, this specialist paint allows you to transform your surface into a writable, scratch-resistance chalkboard finish that you can chalk with artistic doodles, important notes and handy reminders. The paint can be applied to a variety of different interior surfaces including wood, drywall, metal, concrete and even glass (dependant on individual product). 

 As one of the latest trends in the world of painting and decorating, chalkboard paint has made its way into a wide range of different home design, craft DIY and professional projects. There is an almost endless array of interesting, eye-catching and down-right clever uses for chalkboard paint, so let’s explore a few of the fun ways you can make use of your paintbrush. 

Making the Most of Wall Space -  Perfect for children’s bedrooms, bustling kitchens, modern living areas and productive office spaces, chalkboard paint can be applied across an empty wall or even multiple walls to allow you the freedom of scribbling, jotting and drawing to the heart's content. 

Smaller-Scale Renovations - Not a fan of sacrificing an entire wall space? For a more subtle approach, paint a small square and pick a frame of your choice to make your own stylish chalkboard that’s easily blendable into your existing home design. Why not create a totally unique chalkboard kitchen splashback to jot down measurements and recipes as you cook? Perhaps your cupboard doors would make the perfect spot for a meal plan menu, chore board or monthly calendar? If you are tired of shuffling around magnets and pinning up papers, you could even transform your boring old fridge into a multi-functional notice board for the whole family to use and enjoy.  

Keeping Things Organised - There’s no better way to keep your home tidy and organised than with handy little labels. If label makers aren’t really your vibe, paint up your storage units, and mark each drawer directly with a practical sign to indicate its contents. You could even paint the wall behind backless shelving to ensure your mugs, plates and bowls always find their way back to the right spot after washing up.    

Chalkboard paint isn’t just superb for larger-scale home renovations, it can also prove exceptionally useful for nifty do-it-yourself jobs and smaller painting projects too.    

Storage Containers – If you’ve got a passion for all things organising, chalkboard labels will be your best friend. Simply paint your chosen label design onto a repurposed container or jar top and create a practical, inter-changeable storage system for your cooking ingredients, office supplies, bathroom essentials or makeup products. 

Indoor Plants – Are you a fan of growing your own herbs to use in the kitchen? If so, you’ll know the last thing you want is to pick the wrong herb in the middle of cooking and ruin your recipe completely. To make sure you’ve always got the right herb on hand, paint the outside of your indoor plant pots and chalk names on each to keep track and avoid dish disasters.   

Customising Ornaments – Looking for an easy way to put an individual spin on your room design? Chalkboard paint can be used to beautifully customise ornaments such as vases, wine bottles, serving platters, coasters, placemats, or even furniture. Paint a few coats onto the surface of your chosen item and get in touch with your artistic side for a look that is completely individual to your home.  

Keep the Kids Entertained – Arts and crafts will always be great for keeping the kids entertained and letting them get creative. Paint up some Christmas decorations or easter eggs with chalkboard paint and let your little ones loose with coloured chalk for a fun-filled afternoon or rainy day project.
