Slate pencils are becoming increasingly popularwalls. You can draw on them and erase what you have drawn as much as you like! They are made in a variety of rooms, although, of course, they are most relevant for children's rooms. Why - we will figure it out today. Those who have small children, they know "first hand" how dangerous it is sometimes to leave the little ones alone with paints and markers. Not only drawing albums can be drawn on, but also walls, furniture and even pets (yes, such cases are known). Children's creativity knows no bounds. On the wave of children's love for home art, designers probably invented such a thing as a slate wall. If earlier they could only be found in school classrooms, today they are successfully winning the hearts of young parents. In addition, making a slate wall is not difficult.
What is a slate wall? In essence, it isThis is a special paint that you can draw on with chalk. It can be applied to any surface: from refrigerators to entire walls in a room. Almost all well-known paint manufacturers now produce this paint. It is easy to apply and has almost no odor when applied. Sometimes, instead of paint, a film with the effect of the same chalkboard is used. It can be glued to a door, for example. Our opinion: - To prevent dusty chalk crumbs from spreading throughout the entire apartment, buy special soft chalk with reduced dust emission. Such a board can be washed without problems and does not leave unsightly stains on it.
Where to do it As we have already noted, the mostA popular room for a chalkboard surface is a child's room, where an entire wall, from floor to ceiling, is often dedicated to it, and a set of colored chalk is bought for the child. This wall was made in a Moscow apartment by interior designer Stepan Bugaev.
Stepan Bugaev, interior designer - ExcellentA chalkboard wall will be a solution for finishing a wall in a child's room. Not a board, as it was before, but a whole wall painted with chalkboard paint. Such a wall will solve one of the main problems with small children - drawing on the wallpaper. Such a wall will allow you to change the decor in the room at least every day. It is convenient to write on the paint with chalk and erase. Now chalkboard paint exists in any possible color, the paint is perfectly tinted. An excellent alternative to a chalkboard wall will be a marker wall - this is an analogue of the familiar marker board, on which it is easy to draw and erase, only of unlimited size. A marker wall is suitable for families in which children suffer from allergies or respiratory diseases (for example, asthma), since such a coating does not collect dust at all. Marker paint can be used to cover drywall, plaster, metal, its undoubted advantage is that it can be transparent and can even be applied to wood. But marker and chalkboard paint are not the only wall coverings that will help your child develop. Magnetic primer can complement these coverings. The primer is applied directly under the paint. After finishing with such a primer, the wall becomes a real magnetic board! Children's drawings, magnetic letters, educational pictures and even family photos can be attached to it without damaging the coating. Of course, it is not limited to the children's room. The abundance of interiors in which chalkboards are used today shows that they are used in all rooms: bedroom, kitchen, hallway, office. Surely, this trend has developed also because such a board not only minimizes the "losses" from children's drawings, but also acts as a wonderful decorative element, and at the same time a "reminder".
You can leave messages to family members on the board, make shopping lists that can then be easily transferred to paper, declare your love, or share your impressions.
You can draw a pattern on it, thereby decorating your apartment, and when you get tired of it, erase it and apply a new one.
