Ways with walls

Practical can be stylish, and Resene Blackboard Paint serves a multitude of purposes – from the drama of a black wall as a backdrop, to an ever-changing wall of chalk-penned art, to a wall of family organisation. While it works in any room, the hallway wall or back of the front door is the perfect position for a last minute reminder as family members exit the house.

These days chalkboard paint isn’t limited to just black, but comes in a rainbow of hues, and by layering magnetic paint underneath you can take your board of lists to the next level. Scale is optional, from an entire wall, to a casually rolled section, or restrained inside a large frame.

Paint is such an easy way to inject colour and personality into any room, regardless of your own personal style, from a punchy full wall to a smaller art-sized piece, or even a colour blocked surprise on the inside of cupboard doors. Your options are endless.

Tip: Did you know that the finish of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen lets you make a chalkboard out of any colour? Flexibility and practicality all rolled into one.

Note: If you’re painting shapes with straight edges onto a wall, like the grid overleaf, use Resene low-tack masking tape. It comes in a range of widths and will peel off without taking any paint with it. Make sure you remove the tape before the paint fully dries.
