Chalkboard Black Walls

There’s been a long time since chalkboard walls became an interior design trend and all of a sudden many people were lusting after black walls in their homes. Well it was about time for me to add my two cents to the entire thing. And let me tell you that I’m no different than those ‘many people’ I mentioned above. I love black walls and I love them even more if the black is achieved with chalkboard paint! And it’s not even necessary to have chalkboard walls for writing on them, in fact I like them more when they’re so perfectly clean and sharp, the sophisticated look of a wall covered with chalkboard paint says a lot about the modern and screaming style of the owner (all in a good way, of course). There’s something regal and absolutely breathtaking about chalkboard walls, right? And if you feel the limit is exceeded with chalkboard on all the walls then one chalkboard black wall will work perfectly good, giving the room a subtle and very appealing look.

Even a bathroom looks stunning with chalkboard black walls! And what’s the most surprising is that none of the rooms feel dark, right? Seeing the inky black of a 3 coat chalkboard paint (they say that three coats of paint are the best for that perfect chalkboard wall) it’s quite unbelievable how airy and crisp the room feels! And as much as I adore everything white-cream-light neutrals, a black wall (or even 4 walls) speaks right to me at the moment!
