Chalk it up


From habitat plus - special paint effects

Turn walls, toy boxes and other surfaces into writable surfaces and magnetic noticeboards

As many homeowners have found out over the years, chalkboards are an extremely handy way to create a noticeboard, and are also a great way to give your home a changing canvas of artworks from whoever in the family is feeling creative at the time.

A yellow, white, and black study

This Resene Wild Thing study has a gridded blackboard wall as well as a filing cabinet and plant pot in Resene FX Blackboard Paint. The upper wall is in Resene Black White.

With Resene FX Blackboard Paint, you can turn virtually any surface into a chalkboard – paint a whole wall, the back of a door or a low horizontal strip in the kids’ bedrooms. Or you can use Resene FX Blackboard Paint on smaller objects, like plant pots, furniture or herbs in tins. Resene FX Blackboard Paint comes in black. If you prefer a coloured chalkboard, use Resene FX Chalkboard Paint, which is available in a range of colours.

Nifty noticeboards

It doesn’t just stop with chalkboards. Resene have other clever products to help create handy and practical noticeboards.

Did you know?  You can create a chalkboard in any colour by using Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen paint. The low sheen surface lets you write in chalk, then easily clean it off afterwards.
