Magnetic Chalkboard Wall Stickers: The Complete Buyer’s Guide

Whether you are creating a playroom, updating a bedroom or making better use of an empty wall, a magnetic chalkboard wall sticker can transform a small space into a beautiful place to draw, create and play.

Here is everything you need to know before choosing yours.

What is a magnetic chalkboard wall sticker?

A magnetic chalkboard wall sticker, sometimes called a magnetic wall decal, combines a magnetic play surface and a wipe-clean drawing board in one beautifully simple design.

It attaches directly to a suitable smooth surface, so there is no need for a traditional frame, easel or bulky piece of playroom furniture. Because it sits flat against the wall, it creates a dedicated play area without taking up valuable floor space.

Children can draw, add compatible magnetic toys and build colourful scenes using lightweight magnetic tiles. Once playtime is over, the surface can be wiped clean and enjoyed all over again.

What sizes are available?

Our Chalk and Magnet Wall Sticker is designed as a slim magnetic wall arch and comes in two sizes:

Mini: 75 × 45 cm
Original: 95 × 55 cm

The Mini is ideal for smaller bedrooms, compact play corners or spaces where you would like a subtle creative feature.

The Original offers a larger surface for drawing, magnetic tiles and storytelling scenes while still sitting neatly against the wall.

Before choosing your size, measure the available space and consider the height your child can comfortably reach.

Magnet strength and weight vary between brands, so results may differ between different magnetic toys.

Always test unfamiliar drawing materials on the supplied test piece or a discreet part of the board before using them across the full surface.

Which surfaces are suitable?

For the best result, apply your magnetic wall sticker to a clean, smooth and fully cured surface.

Suitable surfaces may include:

Smooth, suitably painted walls
Glass
Mirrors
Smooth, non-textured doors
Smooth wardrobe doors

Magnetic chalkboard wall decal suitable surface application

Avoid textured walls and wallpaper, as these do not provide the flat, even surface the adhesive needs.

Some washable, stain-resistant, glossy, satin, semi-gloss or specialist low-VOC paint finishes may not be suitable for adhesive products.

Newly painted walls may feel dry before the paint has cured completely. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s curing guidance before installing anything adhesive.

Most importantly, use the supplied test piece on the exact surface and area where you plan to install the full board. This is the most reliable way to check your particular surface.

How do you install it?

The board uses a peel, position and smooth application process, with no drilling or screws required.

Before installation, the sticker should be unrolled and left flat for at least 24 hours. It is then positioned from the bottom and applied gradually using the supplied smoothing tool.

For the complete process, including surface preparation, positioning and avoiding bubbles, read our step-by-step Magnetic Wall Sticker installation guide.

Can it be removed and reused?

The board can be carefully removed and reapplied for occasional moves.

Keep the original backing sheet somewhere safe if you may want to reposition or store it later. Repeated removal may reduce the strength of the adhesive.

Wall surfaces and paint finishes vary, so completely damage-free removal cannot be guaranteed.

How do you clean it?

For everyday cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.

Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaning products and rough sponges, as these may affect the finish.

Test unfamiliar drawing materials before using them across the board to check that they wipe away as expected.
