CELEBRATE WITH SCANDI SCHEMES
This Christmas take inspiration from seasonal Scandi schemes with a pared-back palette you can live with all year round
Celebrate in Scandi style with hand painted furniture and lovingly crafted homemade decorations. Here, a set of Ikea chairs has been lifted with Chalk Paint™ in Olive, which further emphasizes the green undertones on the walls.
“When people think about painted furniture, it’s most often painting vintage finds or even antiques. But Chalk Paint™ works just as well on plastic and MDF, so a new set of chairs like this, plus the paint, will pep up your home without breaking the bank,” says Chalk Paint™ founder Annie Sloan.
“I’m a firm believer in creating your own festive gifts and decorations. Individual and economical, my children’s handmade gifts, beautifully wrapped in handmade paper, are favourites.”
“Nostalgic family activities for a rainy Sunday, potato printed-wrapping paper, hand-made advent calendars and painted crackers are easy, economical and highly personal. All you need are fabric swatches, a few small pots of paint, a roll of brown paper, a bag of spuds and your imagination.”
Leading the decorative painting revolution over the last three decades, Annie Sloan is widely recognised as one of the world’s most respected experts in paint and colour.
As well as authoring 26 internationally sold books, Annie Sloan transformed the world of furniture paint with the creation of her own brand of decorative paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990. Annie’s fine-art background and contagious enthusiasm for decorative painting has motivated both home painters and experienced professionals, unlocking countless creative potentials over the last 30 years. Annie is all about sharing her passion for decorative painting, and inspiring people to be creative and adventurous with her paints and colours. Her products are exclusively available through her network of over 1,700 independent stockists located in 55 countries around the world.
Featured on the walls and floor is Château Grey, the chairs are Olive and the table is Old White and Scandinavian Pink. The wrapping paper is stamped with new Athenian Black, the crackers in Scandinavian Pink using the circles stencil and the advent pouches in Olive ticking all by Annie Sloan.
