15 Chalkboard Ideas for Around Your Home

Kids love it, teachers use it, we might hate the sound of it… what is it? Chalk!

And now chalkboards seem to be everywhere. There is a real art to chalking beautifully but if you’re like me and your writing is nothing special, don’t be dismayed. Here are some of my favourite ways of using chalk and chalkboards around the home that can make you hip!

1. In the Dining Room 

Chalkboard Ideas

Chalkboard walls & wood are a great combination. Using chalkboard paint, this dining room features a wine theme with a quote and wine display. I wonder which wine will be served tonight?

2. In the Kitchen

Chalkboard Ideas

A chalkboard wall in the kitchen is great for keeping your grocery list up to date. Not only does this chalkboard kitchen wall look modern but once you need to go shopping, simply take a picture of the wall and off you go! 

3. In the Hallway

Chalkboard Ideas

The great thing about having a chalk wall in the hallway is that the ‘artwork’ can change according to your mood! Some days you might put up your favourite quote and other days, you might have your favourite recipe up. 

4. As a Command Centre

Chalkboard Ideas

Do you have a command centre this cool at home? I love the idea of knowing everyone’s comings & goings in one organised spot.

5. In the Nursery

Chalkboard Ideas

Did you know that babies can only see in black & white for the first 5 months? A chalkboard feature like the one in this nursery would be ideal for their early months & something which will also prove useful as they grow into their toddler years.

6. In the Playroom

Chalkboard Ideas

I’m not sure if this beautiful artwork will stay on in the kid’s playroom but isn’t it so dreamy!

7. On a Filing Cabinet

A chalkboard filing cabinet in the study with a ‘To Do’ list will help keep you organised!

8. On a Chest of Drawer

My kids are forever putting things in the wrong drawer… do you think this would help? Using chalkboard paint, you can paint any piece of furniture like this chest of drawers.

9. On Cupboard Doors

How lovely does this black and white room look! And what a clever idea to turn the cupboard doors into chalkboards for your little picasso to get creative.

10. On Storage Crates

Painted chalkboard trunks for storing toys gives flexibility for what’s in them.
