Help Please - I Need A Large Magnetic Board

eggman

We are about to decorate our kitchen and want somewhere for the kids to put their pictures etc. (the fridge is not big enough!).

I thought a magnetic sheet or similar would probably do the trick that could be attached to the wall.

It needs to be about 4ft x 4ft and when I searched the web they are either too small or are of the office dry wipe board variety.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or has a another sugestion then it would be greatly appreciated.

You can buy magnetic paint. You could paint either the wall or a board. Word of warning, its black paint not white. International make it.

Thanks Katie for your quick response. To be honest it's something like a sheet I am looking for unless they do cream magnetic paint.

Ikea do a dull silver magnetic board with magnets - the magnets can be bought in separate packs. Sorry can't remember how much they were, but they weren't expensive.

That's ok. Sorry, I've never seen cream magnetic paint. Good luck.

You could always use a sheet of metal and stick the piccies on with magnets (Asda do little boxes of magnets). May be worth a look round a recycling depot or scrapyard - something like a side-panel from a fridge or cooker could fit the bill.

The paint Katie referred to is indeed black however you can paint over it with normal paint. You could paint it the same colour as your walls or mark the area out by using a contrasting colour.

Got one from Ikea recenly £5.99 (a small one) but they do bigger ones. Also got one that is at back of cooker as a spashback for £10 (Beats £60 from B&Q!!). That comes in different sizes too. Kitchen department. Not sure of prices for bigger ones though
