Sustainable Style: Why Our Recycled Timber Blackboards Are a Must-Have

At Mulbury, we don’t do ordinary. Our blackboards are lovingly made right here in Melbourne using 100% recycled Australian hardwood timber.

What makes our Blackboards different?

It starts with the frame. Unlike mass-produced boards with plastic or generic surrounds, every Mulbury blackboard features a unique timber frame made from reclaimed wood. Each piece of timber carries its own character — from rich grains to warm earthy tones — meaning no two boards are ever quite the same. It’s a little bit rustic, a little bit refined, and very much Mulbury.

We offer a range of finishes to suit your style — whether you’re going for modern minimal, rustic industrial, or something in between.

Built for Function & Style

The writing surface is as tough as it is practical. It’s smooth, easy to write on, and designed to resist smudging and staining — so your notes, menus, or to-do lists always look fresh and legible. And when you’re ready to start again, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes.

Sizes available:

Choose from four standard sizes — A4, A3, A2 and A1 — all framed in our signature 4cm wide original timber frame. Need a different size? We’re also happy to create a custom blackboard just for you.

Where do Mulbury Blackboards look best?

Anywhere you want a bit of personality with a purpose. Whether you're:

• Running a cafe and want to display daily specials with style
• Creating an eye-catching window display in your shop
• Organising a busy office or creative workspace
• Or just wanting a charming, useful addition to your kitchen or hallway

Mulbury blackboards are the perfect fit!

Care tips to keep your Blackboard looking its best

A few quick tips to keep your board in top shape:

• Brighter chalk? Dip your chalk in hot water first — you’ll get smoother lines and bolder colour.
• Time for a clean? A simple wipe with a clean, damp cloth does the trick.
• Avoid: Liquid chalk — it may look fun at first, but it can permanently stain the surface.

Looking for the best or blackboard to elevate your space?

Whether you’re styling a café menu, organising your home, or setting up a retail store, our blackboards offer a unique combination of functionality and sustainable design. Each board is made with a solid timber frame and features a smooth black writing surface that’s easy to clean and built to last.

At Mulberry, each of our blackboards are made in Melbourne using 100% recycled Australian hardwood timber. We've designed them to last and we make them for like-minded people who care about the environment. The writing surface is smooth, durable and easy to clean, designed to resist smudging and staining so your messages stay crisp, clear and easy to read.

One of the things that makes our blackboards different is the frame. We use reclaimed timber so every piece has its own grain, tone and story and as you can see behind me, no two are the same. You can choose from a range of finishes depending on the look you're going for.

Our blackboards are perfect for any space, whether you're running a cafe, styling a retail space, organising a workspace or adding that creative touch to your home. They're available in four standard sizes, A4, A3, A2 and A1 using our original 4cm wide frame. We also want your blackboard to look its best for years to come.

That's why I'm now going to show you some simple care tips for your Mulberry blackboard. Now, for smoother lines and brighter colour, dip your chalk in hot water. When it's time to update your board, grab a clean, damp cloth and just wipe it clean.

Simple as that, only takes a few wipes and it's all gone. Please avoid liquid chalk as it can permanently stain the surface. If you're after something custom, maybe a different size or a specific finish, we can make that too.

We are happy to help create what you're after to help your vision come to life.
