OUTDOOR LIVING
Give your garden a splash of colour with Chalk Paint™ from Annie Sloan
Upcycling garden furniture is the ideal activity for the weekend – one you can reap the rewards from all summer.
“Getting the garden prepped for better weather is a satisfying project to help build excitement for the coming months,” explains Chalk Paint™ founder Annie Sloan. “With holidays looking uncertain, it’s a great idea to invest money saved on flights into making your own garden a beautiful retreat fit for an Instagram, ‘Wish you were here!’ post.”
Bright hues are best for bringing year-round joy. “Yellow is the sunniest, happiest, Pantone-approved choice for outdoor spaces in 2021. It’ll bring sunshine on the rainiest of days, whether your flowerbeds are in full bloom or if you’re working with patios and concrete,” says Annie.
For outdoor projects, Chalk Paint™ Lacquer, a hard-wearing, water-based polyacrylic varnish with built-in UV protection, provides a robust finish to withstand general wear and tear.
By leading the decorative painting revolution over the last three decades, Annie 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 Sloan 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.
