Think chalkboards are just for classrooms? Think again. Popular on Pinterest and adored by crafters, chalkboard paint can revolutionise an uninspiring table setting or transform a dull wall into a space of endless creation. Swot up on how to apply this gold star design trend in your kitchen.
Accent Wall:
A chalkboard accent wall makes a top-marks alternative to a kitchen noticeboard! Incorporate a mail organiser, embellish with elaborate typography or coordinate the family by painting on a calendar. But, whatever you choose to do, make it your own.
As a side note, although chalkboard paint is readily available at hardware and hobby stores, if you’re looking for a shade outside the traditional green and black, make it at home by mixing paint with unsanded tile grout.
Herb Pots:
Can’t work out whether it’s basil or lemon balm? Prevent a culinary disaster by updating your herb gardens terracotta pots with chalkboard paint for easy to write-on and rub-off labels.
Fridge Doors:
Keep track of what’s running low by painting your fridge doors with chalkboard paint. This is a great move for preventing ugly, old refrigerators from becoming an eyesore, whether or not you decide to decorate your doors with love letters or shopping lists!
Mason Jars:
Bringing together two major trends, chalkboard paint can add a little flair to glass canisters and help you keep track of snacks. Once the paint dries, chalk on what’s inside and its use-by date, then wipe off when the jar is empty. Prettify the decals by drawing on a few added embellishments.
Place Mats:
Step up your hosting game and cover your placemats with chalkboard paint. A step above crayons, they’ll keep the kids occupied at the dinner table, whilst adding a hint of school-days nostalgia to your soiree.
