Firstly, you will need green or matte black paint. Additionally, the materials needed for painting are:
Materials
- Matte green or black paint;
- Paint roller;
- Tray for storing paint;
- Gloves;
- Plastic.
Plastic is extremely important for covering the floor, so even if paint splashes on it, it will not stain the floor.
How to make
Then, apply two layers of paint to the space where you want a chalkboard wall. And that’s it, it’s very easy, isn’t it?

2. Chalkboard wall made with contact paper

This is certainly the ideal option for those who rent and cannot permanently change the color of the wall. Therefore, it is very simple to remove all the wallpaper from the wall.
Furthermore, this way is simpler and doesn’t make any mess. Therefore, the only material needed is the contact paper itself. And to apply it to the wall, simply remove the protection on the back of the paper.
The only difficulty with this process is that, in many cases, the contact paper is found in small pieces, which requires making some amendments if the desired space for the coverage is large.
