Choosing The Perfect Shabby Chic Paint Colours

Now that you’ve learnt how to shabby chic old furniture from our last post, it’s time to decide on your colour scheme!

Whether you’re rejuvenating an old dining room table and chairs, or your vanity unit, our wide range of 38 metallic and matte colours are sure to complement your home.

Neutrals

Chalky White

It’s a given rule that any piece of furniture you paint with chalky white paint will look fantastic – no matter what the room’s colour scheme is!
You could try the dining table for a chic look against light wood floors, or your chest of drawers…

Clotted Cream

Make a dreary piece of furniture stand out against beige and brown shades with a lick of clotted cream furniture paint. With a slightly yellowish tone, it adds warmth to the room.

Hot Cup Of

This milky coffee shade will add a modern and inviting tone to a white or cream based room. It’s not too dark that it will draw the eye, but the warm tone will add contrast.

Metallic furniture paint

Antique Champagne Gold

Add class to any piece of furniture with a champagne gold colour – perfect for your chest of drawers or vanity unit. See our unit below!

Dusky Pink

A bright pink shade will add a girly touch to any piece of run-down furniture! Try painting your bed frame or windowsills with this colour.

Cottage Green

This rich green looks stunning against dark wood or rooms with accents of chocolate brown. Do you have dark hard-wood flooring? Try painting a side table or computer desk with this vibrant green.

Vintage effect

Dusty Blue

Looking for the perfect vintage shade for your shabby chic project? This greyish blue would look lovely in your dining room or conservatory.

Winter Grey

Add a winter touch to your home by painting your furniture with this chic and modern grey. Why not use this in the kitchen?

Strawberry Yoghurt

This muted, chalky pink is just the right balance of feminine and sophisticated. Paint your wardrobe or vanity unit with this colour for a vintage effect.

Monochrome shades

Anthracite

This dark grey/ chalky black will contrast light rooms. For an ultra-modern look use this colour to paint only the top of a white chest of drawers.

Pebble Grey

Slightly lighter in shade, this colour will give a sophisticated touch to any room. Why not mix and match with our Strawberry Yoghurt shade?

Winter White
