Creative chalk drawing wall

Hello to all readers of the blog “Your Designer”! We have already talked about decorating the walls in an apartment with decorative bricks and photo wallpaper, and today I would like to share with you a very unusual idea - a wall covered for drawing with chalk. Creativity in its purest form, endless creative opportunities for the whole family! If your soul requires self-expression, this idea will surely appeal to you!

It is very easy to make such a wall in an ordinary apartment. Now there is a special slate paint on sale that creates a matte surface for drawing with chalk.

Perhaps the most common is from the famous Tikkurila brand. Available in black and dark green, 1 liter capacity. The cost is about 900-1000 rubles per jar.

Similar paints are also produced by the brands “Rust Oleum”, “Krylon”, “Benjamin Moore”. I'm sure you can easily find one of these options at your nearest large building materials store. Such paints are called “chalkboard paint” or “chalkboard paint”

The paint is applied in 2 layers to a thoroughly cleaned surface, after which you need to wait for it to dry completely (follow the instructions on the package). As a result, you get a beautiful matte finish that looks great on its own, and with some imagination, you can create a real work of art covering an entire wall, which will become the main accent of your interior.

The surface covered with slate paint is not scratched when drawing with crayons; it can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.

These are the options for using slate paint that I especially liked:

And, of course, the most grateful users of the slate wall will be children! It may not be very practical, but having such a wall in the house will constantly develop your little one's creativity and make his life much more exciting. It is advisable that the other colors in the nursery remain light so that the room does not turn out to be too gloomy.

To create an original gallery, you can combine drawings and captions with blank frames, photographs and posters. I wrote about how to beautifully and evenly hang paintings and photos on the wall here and here.
