Fresh Ways to use Chalkboard Paint in the Kitchen

by | Mar 29, 2016 | Design Tips & Tricks

The vintage chalkboard trend is still standing strong, so why not integrate a creative chalkboard surface in your kitchen. Whether it is in the form of a family planner, splashback or inspiration wall, chalkboard paint in the kitchen is both functional and creative and allows you to experiment with different colours and designs. Here are some fresh ways to use chalkboard paint in the kitchen or any part of your home.

  • Feature Wall
    Painting a section of your kitchen walls with chalkboard paint can be a fun way to inject creativity in your home. It is a great idea if you get bored of artwork easily and like to change up your kitchen. Encourage your family to get creative and use your chalkboard wall as a unique kitchen backdrop, keeping the kids entertained while you are busy cooking.
  • Splashback
    A chalkboard splashback is a clever kitchen design detail as it can act as a daily schedule of reminders or an organiser for busy families. The versatility of chalkboard paint means you can write anything from notes to detailed drawings and temporary artwork to mix up your kitchen design.
  • Shopping List
    Turn the back of the pantry door into a recipe or shopping list for your family to add to every week. Your grocery list will be hidden from the rest of the kitchen, won’t clash with your kitchen design style and you’ll never run out of cooking ingredients again.
  • Menu Board
    A chalkboard menu is an inexpensive and fun way to create a café atmosphere as you can use it for meal planning during the week or a menu display for when you have guests over.
  • Labelling
    An easy way to label containers, glass storage jars or herbs and spices is by using chalkboard paint. Once any of the contents change you can easily wipe away the old label and organise as new. Get even more creative by personalising mugs, wine glasses or storage baskets.
