Paint the Kitchen Wall
Do you pick your calls in the kitchen then start wondering where you will get a pen to jot down something? Having a chalkboard wall will sort this issue out. You can also paint the kitchen cabinets to make it easier for people to find cutlery and other kitchen appliances.
Create a Schedule Calendar
A good way of getting organized is by creating a chalkboard calendar. Paint the neutral base on a specific wall in your house. Let it sit for a day to let it dry. Then, use chalk to draw out the calendar with each section you might require together with the days of the month. To make things more interesting, use different colours to mark different events. Add a to-do list on either side of the calendar to complete your tasks faster. Constantly seeing the things you need to work on will make you finish them faster.
Paint the Drawers
The chalkboard paint works perfectly on closet doors in the bedroom. When you mark the closets with the content of the drawers such as trousers, shirts, and socks, you make it easier to find clothes to wear. Struggling to wake up in the morning? Write affirmations to jump-start your day.
Change Your Bedroom Look
It is not interesting to always look at bare walls especially in the one place that you go to find your peace, the bedroom. Why not switch things up by adding your own personality to your room? If your bedroom already has gentle hues from the curtains, then a blackboard wall is exactly what you need. Especially at your headboard, add inspirational quotes or a pattern on the wall. Anything you feel will bring out your personality, do it.
