I truly love the chalkboards as decor in my home! I am always looking for new ways to change decor in my house and update on a budget. If you feel the same way, then a chalkboard is for you!
In this post I will share with y’all 3 of the main ways I have used my chalkboard to add character to my home! Let’s style that chalkboard!!
STYLING TIP 1
When I initially got my chalkboard I figured I’d do the usual. I’d add a quote or drawing using chalk. This is such a fun way to add personal touch to your home and so adaptable! You can purchase really great thin point chalk pens to help with detailed drawing or manuscript. Whenever you get tired of the quote or design, it’s easy enough to erase and create something new. Win, win.
STYLING TIP 2
After awhile I was getting bored of just using chalk, so I decided to think outside the box. The chalkboard I own is quite large and we have it on a picture ledge. I realized that such a large black back drop would make a great background. So, I decided to add more elements to that picture ledge using the chalkboard primarily as a background. Think layering. This created a beautiful visual field and really enhanced the other aspects I was highlighting. Check out the picture below for an example…
CHALKBOARD STYLING TIP 3
The last tip I have for you is combineS the first two tips together! Here’s what I mean. For my son’s birthday I wanted to use the chalkboard to make a personal quote for his big day. I also wanted to give it a little more character, so I added pictures of my son to the chalkboard in addition to the quote. This gave it more of a birthday feel and made it a little more special.
And there you have it.
