Get creative with Chalkboards

Go back to the drawing board with the latest trend to hit homes. Whatever the purpose, creating your own chalkboard home accessory is as easy as child’s play with Rust-Oleum Chalkboard.

Paint, available in both spray and brush paint.

Chalkboards don’t have to be restricted to playground hopscotch. Paint walls, furniture and accessories to turn them into the ideal surface to draw anything. For covering larger areas or painting an area where spray paint can’t be used, we have brush-applied chalkboard paint. Give your children the space to design towns and planets by covering a playroom wall with Chalkboard Paint, creating a truly unique feature that will never seem dull.

It doesn’t have to just be restricted to children’s rooms either. Spray glass storage jars with Chalkboard Paint for a modern twist to kitchen storage, or create your own family organiser by spraying a thin piece of MDF and adding an ornate frame to the outer edges. Hang it on the wall or keep it in the study to make sure an appointment is never forgotten again.

For a piece of decorative furniture that provides the perfect mix of practicality and storage, layer a few coats of chalkboard paint onto a set of drawers. Label the front of each drawer with what it contains, doodle a vintage floral design on the cabinet or use it to occupy the children when working from home.

Or, for an extra special chalkboard area, why not try Rust-Oleum Magnetic Chalkboard Paint to create a scratch resistant finish that allows you to create a writeable / wipeable chalkboard surface that attracts magnets.
