Furniture and wall paint guru ANNIE SLOAN proposes NEW NEUTRALS

While Pantone’s new Very Peri colour of 2022  is inspiring many design ideas, some colour houses are going for calming neutral ranges for the new year.

Take Annie Sloan for example.  The paint guru is breathing fresh life into tired bedrooms with Wall Paint and Chalk Paint™.

A highlight of the 32-shade Wall Paint palette, Pompadour is a warm white inspired by French courtier Madame de Pompadour. 

The delicately pigmented shade reflects the warm complexities and subtle shade-shifting properties of fine porcelain. 

“From painted walls to painted floorboards, an all-neutral scheme will give your room the illusion of being bigger and brighter, while creating a soothing space for sweet dreams and lazy Sunday mornings,” says Annie. 

“To avoid a clinical look, introduce a disrupter colour on a focal piece such as a bedframe. A burst of your favourite statement shade will add personality and really pop against the clean gallery-style backdrop.” Transform a high street bedframe with just a lick of paint, for an easy, affordable update with maximum impact. 

Without the need to prime or sand, painting furniture with Chalk Paint™ is all in a day’s work - just remember to finish with at least two coats of Chalk Paint™ Wax or Lacquer to seal and protect your handiwork, advises Annie Sloan.  For an extra dose of charm, update smaller furniture and accessories with hand-painted details.

Annie Sloan invented her revolutionary furniture paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990 and hasn’t stopped refining and improving her formula since. She is widely considered one of the world’s leading authorities in paint, colour and style.
