Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world.—Brene Brown

There are various ways in which creativity can be expressed. It could be in writing, drawing, performing and so on. For many, it is something that simply flows and cannot be contained. Which is why, for the creative minds, homify is here to recommend a way where you could have that creative outlet that is incorporated in your own home. With this, you will be able to make your own design feature and change it as often as you would like! 

Check out these fun and quirky ideas that you can adopt for your own space.

1. Dining Area

Along the wall of this dining area is an entire chalkboard wall that introduces the different type of herbs which also includes some facts. Not only is it informative but it is also interesting. The use of chalk with green hues also brings in a refreshing look for the space.  

2. Kitchen

Black and white colour has always been an elegant and styling means of decorating. Using just white colour to draw images of delectable goodies make this kitchen quirky and unique without having to look cluttered. The dimensions of the wall also create a stylish accent for the space.

3. Placemats and coasters

Blackboards can also be used as placemats to write some funny anecdotes or maybe those sweet nothings. On the coaster, the name of the person supposed to sit on that chair, using it as a name card for parties and gatherings. This personalised touch is sure to make people feel special.

4. Study

Why not have fun while doing some work or while studying? Utilising a large black board lets you visualise better by drawing or writing it. Memorising something is definitely easier when they're screaming right in front of you, don't you think? Like they say, Creativity is intelligence having fun—Albert Einstein.

5. Crafts or recreation room

These days, with the advent of technology, kids tend to have short attention spans. Parents have to constantly create new interesting ways to grab their children's attention. By using this chalk board on the wall, children get to learn while having fun.

6. Bedroom

Placing a calendar and reminders on the chalkboard wall is a great way to keep things organised. Everyday before you start the day, you could add in or cross out some of your to-do list and just continue being awesome!
