Chalkboard paint has been a favourite with canny decorators for several years.

Its only downfall has been the limited range of colours. Black and dark green can be gloomy and don't go with every scheme. Thankfully, a palette of brighter colours is now available. We've used a few of the new shades to paint this simple plywood storage unit. Ideal for storing bits and pieces, the labels can be updated with the wipe of a cloth.
