Want a summer project with minimum fuss and maximum impact? Chalkboard paint’s your man! (or woman. Or, you know, item.) It’s fun, easy-to-use, versatile - and best of all, it’s suitable for a whole range of jobs, from painting walls to decorating photoframes, which means it’s suitable for homeowners and renters alike. The paint is readily available at most hardwares or you can even mix your own. Check out these super neat, ingenious ways to put chalkboard paint to work around the home.
1. Bed Headboard
Want somewhere to organise your thoughts, jot down the occasional late night inspiration - or maybe just a reminder to get up in the morning? Try crafting a headboard, whether on a spare plank of bulsar or just an empty wall. Looks tremendous and gives your sleeping space that personal charm.
2. Fridge
Yes, it’s a little extreme - but imagine how useful it would be to actually keep your shopping list all in one place? Forget measly fridge magnets, this DIY project’s the way to go. Word to the wise: your guests may be tempted to leave rude scribblings.
3. Spice rack
Magnetic spice racks are practically old hat - but magnetic, chalkboard spice racks? Too cool. Find out how to make your own from the aptly-named addictedtodecorating blog.
4. Jar labels
Speaking of making cooking a little easier, these multipurpose little darlings can be altered according to whim - and the label will never fall off! Perfect for that rustic I-just-threw-this-together look (which actually takes a wee while)!
5. Desk organiser
Keeping track of work deadlines - perfect for children’s bedrooms and home offices. Just slap a little paint on an adjacent wall or desk surface and voila!
6. Party decorations
Chalkboard paint is perfect for entertaining, whether it’s a child’s birthday party or an elegant evening soirée. You could prepare bottle decorations, reusable bunting, place cards… the possibilities are endless.
7. Coffee mugs
Tired of people stealing your precious cup? Time to take action. A couple of licks of chalkboard paint and everyone will know their place in the crockery hierarchy.
9. Calendar
It’s the dream - a calendar that feels a little more secure your smartphone but a little more forgiving to mistakes than a classic pen-on-paper design. Keep track of those nagging birthdays and appointments on a surface of your choice!
10. Craft table
A play station for kids - minus the wires. Ideal for those who’d otherwise be fingerpainting innocent walls and furniture.
