  1. Chalkboard walls may look wonderfully eye-catching, but I advise you not to make the chalkboard wall a focal point in your interior. If you do that, your living room, bedroom or any other room will look like a subway station with graffiti. So, I recommend you to choose less obvious wall and keep your interior little less underground.
  2. Before incorporating a chalkboard walls in your interior, keep in mind that before painting them with a chalkboard paint, you should smooth the walls first and then wipe them down. This is yet another reason why you shouldn’t paint the main wall with Chalkboard paint. The smoother the surface of the walls, the better, because chalk will catch on every pimple.
  3. Once you have painted the walls with Chalkboard paint, take a piece of chalk and rub it down to the walls, then erase them. You are probably asking why you should do that… The answer is to make the walls easier to erase and use.
  4. If you are a busy person and you don’t have time for cleaning your house, you should definitely know that chalk is messy and can add extra dust all over the floor in your house. It can be even worst if the chalks are colorful, because they can damage the carpet or beddings.
  5. You will also need a place where you can store chalk and erasers. And you will need a lot of chalks, believe me. If you don’t have chalks, the walls won’t be functional. So, make sure you have chalks and erasers nearby for when an inspiration strikes, they will be near you and you can express yourself immediately.]
