A clear acrylic calendar does something a paper one cannot: it disappears. The wall colour shows straight through it, so what you see is the writing, not the board. It wipes clean, it never needs replacing in January, and it holds a month of a busy household without taking over the room.
Monthly, weekly and yearly layouts, in sizes up to full wall-planner scale. Customisable with your own sections, fonts and text colour. From $65.
Monthly, weekly or yearly
Monthly is the one most households want — the whole month visible, enough room per day for appointments and who is where.
Weekly gives far more space per day. It suits a home office, a studio, or anyone planning in detail rather than coordinating a family.
Yearly is a planning board, not a calendar. Project timelines, school terms, holiday bookings, build schedules — the whole year in one view.
What size for your wall
Measure the clear wall space first, then subtract a few inches on each side so the board has room to breathe. A calendar that fills its wall edge-to-edge looks like a mistake.
As a rule: above a desk, go smaller and weekly. In a kitchen or hallway where people read it in passing, go larger and monthly — you need to see it from across the room.
Several designs are made to order, so if a standard size does not fit the space, ask. Custom sizing is part of what we do.
How it goes on the wall
Standoff hardware holds the acrylic a short distance off the wall, which is what gives it the floating look and makes it easy to write on. It needs four small fixings.
If drilling is not an option — a rental, plaster, tile — ask before you order. There is more than one way to hang these and we would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Which markers to use
Wet-erase markers or liquid chalk markers with a fine or extra-fine tip. Both wipe off with a damp cloth and neither ghosts the way dry-erase does on a whiteboard. Marker sets start at $15.
Making it yours
Most of this collection can be customised: your own section headings, a family name, block or script font, and text in white, black, gold or rainbow. The calendar is laid out around how you actually run the week rather than a template.
Questions we get asked
What size acrylic wall calendar do I need?
Measure your clear wall space and leave a few inches of margin each side. For a kitchen or hallway, go larger and monthly so it reads from across the room. Above a desk, smaller and weekly works better. Custom sizes are available if nothing standard fits.
How does an acrylic wall calendar attach to the wall?
With standoff hardware — four small fixings that hold the acrylic slightly off the wall, which is what creates the floating look and makes it comfortable to write on.
Can you see the wall through it?
Yes, and that is the point. Clear acrylic takes on whatever colour is behind it, so the calendar reads as writing floating on your wall rather than as another object hung on it.
What markers work on an acrylic wall calendar?
Wet-erase or liquid chalk markers with a fine or extra-fine tip. Both wipe off with a damp cloth. Marker sets start at $15.
Will it ghost or stain over time?
No. Clear acrylic does not absorb marker the way a melamine whiteboard does — that staining is the reason Girl Friday exists. It wipes back to clear.
Monthly, weekly or yearly — which should I choose?
Monthly for a household. Weekly for detailed planning or a home office. Yearly if you are tracking projects, terms or bookings across the whole year.
Can I customise the layout?
Yes. Section headings, family name, block or script font, and white, black, gold or rainbow text. Most designs in this collection are made to order.
How much does an acrylic wall calendar cost?
From $65. Monthly calendars run $80 to $95, customisable designs $140, and large yearly planning boards more.
