Slate or chalk board for drawing in the interior: stylish and fashionable

A slate in the interior is an original, unusual solution in the design of empty, boring walls. The broadest functionality, originality, accessibility and relative cheapness - all these facts every day attract more and more creative designers to use them in their interiors.

The versatility and convenience of this interior item is surprising. A wall completely closed by such a board turns into real live wallpaper - a picture on it can be replaced at least every day, it all depends on your imagination and hard work. A sunny meadow or a winter landscape, a magical forest or an urban city filled with high-rise buildings - the atmosphere of the whole room can change in a matter of minutes, you just have to pick up a few crayons and awaken your inner artist.

Slate in the bedroom

The bedroom is the heart of any apartment, so you need to carefully approach its design. In addition, this particular room should carry the greatest charge of comfort and positiveness, help to relax after work and find the long-awaited privacy. Due to the small size of modern apartments, this room often acts as an office and a small library, becoming almost the most multifunctional place in the house. So how do you find a place for a chalk board in such a busy atmosphere, and will it be appropriate there?

The answer, of course, is yes. And there are a lot of applications for this miracle in the bedroom. Just imagine: you wake up, and the first thing you see is the inscription "I Love" from a person dear to you. Positive charge is provided for the whole day, and a surge of strength will help to work much more productively.

In addition, writing boards can carry another, more functional role - a to-do list. Very often we forget something simple, everyday, for example, to water flowers or to buy bread. Brilliant ideas about life, work, creativity and family always come late at night, when it is simply impossible to remember them. If you start to record them, in the morning it will be very simple to restore everything in your memory, just by looking at the list.

Apart from all the useful functions of slate and chalk boards, they are, first of all, a wonderful design element that can transform any interior. For example, in a family of creative people, there will always be a blackboard framed by a picture. This space will become for them a universal canvas on which they can splash out their fleeting inspiration, which would hardly become a masterpiece, but it will certainly delight the eyes of others for a few more days, or even weeks. Also, such small boards can be used by students and children to prepare for exams. It is ultra convenient to write in small formulas or dates that are constantly forgotten. So the training material will be constantly before your eyes, and you will definitely remember it.

A bit of creativity in the nursery

Slate and chalk boards in the room of your kids is probably the only way, apart from punishments, to wean children to draw on wallpaper. By handing them a few colored crayons, you will be calm for the cleanliness of the house and, possibly, discover the talent in your little one. Very often, creative children, not having a chance in childhood to realize their talent, left it buried among many computer games or plastic Chinese toys. Give your child a piece of drive and creativity, which he will appreciate.

Slate boards will also be useful for kids learning the alphabet or numbers. You must admit that it’s much more interesting to do lessons on the wall and in color than, puffing, trying to bring these strange karluchki in notebooks. Now many teachers will say that this will spoil the child’s handwriting, but no one bothers to gradually move on to learning in notebooks! The main thing is to instill in the baby a passion for knowledge, then he himself will reach for a pen and books.

Let's have a bite ...

It would seem that what to do with a chalkboard in the kitchen? And remember, dear hostesses, how often we forget to cook something for common family feasts, for example, for the New Year, Easter, or for someone's birthday. Constantly at the last moment, the family recipe is forgotten, the last pack of mayonnaise is missing and it seems that the whole world is crumbling. Nothing of the kind happened if you kept a similar “note on the refrigerator” under your friend. Your notes will always be striking, and forgetting anything will become simply impossible. In addition, a slate or chalk board will again become a wonderful element of the interior - after all, the same lists can be arranged as the hostess wants, to match the kitchen, or, conversely, much more contrast, so that the board stands out? All in your hands. And when large-scale cooking is not expected, and the refrigerator is packed with groceries, the board can be used as a canvas by painting some pretty faces there, or by writing wishes to your loved ones.

Board at the workplace

The most rational place to place a slate board is near the desktop, when you constantly need to write, notice, or sketch something. It is better to use a slate, not a chalk board, in order not to damage the computer cooler with dust from crayons.

Above the table, near the table or even on the table itself, if its size allows it - there will be a place for notes everywhere. Writing boards are the best organizer that will never get lost, will always be in sight and will be able to help at any time, you just have to erase the unnecessary and write down a new one. Any information can be placed there: what time to pick up the child from school, when the next meeting with the client, whether it is necessary to buy milk today, a password from work mail and a business plan for the week. Business and creative people who are constantly busy with business and can not even find minutes of free time will appreciate their additional memory in the form of a small board with a slate coating.

Fly in the ointment - what difficulties may arise?

Probably the only significant minus when using this kind of boards is dust from chalk, which will need to be cleaned regularly. Yes, this is rather unpleasant, especially if such a board finds its place in the nursery. But this problem is solved very simply - if you are not ready for regular cleaning, buy a slate board or, for special lovers of cleanliness, you can stop at the third option - a marker board, but it does not create that atmosphere.

"What if?"

The size and shape of the future writing board is absolutely universal! Large or small, round or square, oblong or oblate - everything is in your hands. Measure, choose a form, hand everything over to professionals and enjoy, what could be better?

Many people who crave creativity are embarrassed by the black color of both slate and chalk boards, but they are cruelly mistaken. The color palette is not limited by anything, the main thing is that the text and drawings on it are readable, and the general appearance of your organizer is pleasing to the eye. You can either order a multi-colored board from the beginning or create it yourself, but it is best to trust the professionals in order not to accidentally make a mistake.

It is not necessary to place a board with reminders on the wall or not a special stand - a place for it can be found almost everywhere. For example, in the kitchen, a reminder board will look good on any of the cabinets or on the side wall of the refrigerator, and in the bedroom it can be placed on the cabinet.

An unusual solution for those who like to experiment can be even an old chest of drawers or a faded bookcase. The most economical and most original solution is to cover them with slate paint, because then your entire interior item can become an immense scope for creativity. You can write and draw on anything, and your cupboard or old refrigerator will become the most unique of its kind. If all your furniture is exclusive and new, and you are sorry to paint it, try turning the interior door into a slate.

You painted the entire cabinet, but the paint is still there? Add slate paint to the interior of other little things! For example, unsigned jars of cereals or spices can be transformed with even one careless brushstroke. The filling of the jars is constantly changing, and all that will be necessary for you to change the inscription is simply to erase the old one and sign your favorite spice again. Also, a small slate strip will look good on bookshelves, especially if you have a large library. Now it will not be necessary to explain for a long time to the household where to look for “Harry Potter” and where are the works of Leo Tolstoy - all shelves can be signed with the names of the writers, genres or countries in which these works were written.

Do not want to buy a finished board, but you do not like to mess with paint? In online stores you can find self-adhesive strips of any size with a slate coating already applied. Having ordered such a miracle of modern technology, you can transform your interior in a few seconds, completely changing it or just slightly correcting some details.

Slate or chalk boards - this is undoubtedly a universal element of the interior. Firstly, they are much more functional and convenient than paper organizers. Secondly, the atmosphere that they bring to your home is incomparable with anything, and no marker boards can ever compete with them in this field. A platform for creativity, an assistant in household affairs, a portable textbook and the best toy for your children, all this is your new board, completely universal and unique in nature. Once you have acquired such an assistant in everyday life, you can no longer refuse him.
