Chalkboard Interior Wall Painting Ideas
Chalkboard walls have been done for years, but the great thing is that they can keep being reinvented.
For less chalk dust mess and a longer lasting design, I would do this with chalk pens/markers.
The chalkboard wall in this teenage girls room features a hand drawn headboard and wainscoting — and a lampshade, haha! and I just noticed it’s a chalkboard floor, too!
See more bedrooms with “no headboard” design ideas.
Classic chalkboard wall, and think how you could share different uplifting quotes!… so fun! From the UV Parade of Homes 2013.
Love the different color of this chalkboard wall! A nice classic vintage green blackboard like a schoolroom.
Painted Dry Erase Walls
This bright green wall is a dry erase wall!
I love that you could do any color you like, and your favorite artist can create some great art!
For a dry erase wall, there are a few paint options, using whiteboard paint or a clear dry erase paint over your existing wall color.
Once you’ve smoothed out the wall texture, apply primer and then a dry erase paint like these (following the manufacturer instuctions):
- Rustoleum Dry Erase Paint, Clear
- Rustoleum White Gloss Dry Erase Paint
- Benjamin Moore Notable 2-Part Dry Erase Paint Kit
- ReMARKable Whiteboard Wall Paint Kit
- ReMARKable Dry Erase Clear Paint Kit

This is beautiful work
There are number of options using which you can give you walls a extravagant and merriment look. You can opt for a cool starburst shaped ombre wall, or you can also go for wall stenciling with a roller. If you like nature you can also go for painting a simple cherry blossom branch on the wall. Moreover, there are various other options such as a Freehand stripes, horizontal and vertical stripes. However, I would prefer that you avail the services of a Professional Interior Designer, as they possess knowledge of latest market trends, and a better Idea of what materials and design suit your home.
This post was literally amazing thanks for this great work.
