Shabby Chic Chalk Based Paint

What is Shabby Chic?

Shabby Chic is a versatile trend that’s been around for over 30 years, involving pastel colours and distressed furniture.

It’s a wonderfully cosy look for those with smaller spaces as the light and airy colours are inviting, while also making the room feel larger.

Over the years, Shabby Chic has evolved slightly. It no longer just describes stressed furniture, but also the ornate style of the furniture and the colours used in the room (mainly neutrals and pastels). It’s the perfect trend for DIY lovers and those on a budget who fancy giving furniture upcycling a go!

Choosing the right paint colours for your space

If you’re working with a small room, you may want to stick to the light shades that will open up the room and create the illusion of a larger space. Our Chalky White, Antique White and Clotted Cream shades are timelessly chic!

Or, you can say no to the ‘rules’, do what you like and be bold!

If you’re looking to impress, use our shabby Chic furniture paint to create a feature piece for your space. Our thick and creamy matte shades like Nautical Blue, Nautical Red and Antique Gold are definite conversation starters!

Or go for the mysterious, artistic look with our dark and sumptuous shades like Olivaceous, Antherite and Liquorice.

Achieving the perfect chalk paint finish

The secret to a perfect finish lies in all the tiny imperfections!

Shabby Chic furniture is traditionally a little rough around the edges, so the paint doesn’t have to be applied impeccably.

Our paint doesn’t require primer but we suggest 2 coats! Depending on your application method, you may require 3.

Protecting your masterpiece

Did you know that we also supply protective furniture wax?

A light layer will prevent unwanted scratches and chips from little knocks and bumps (or prints from grubby fingers!).

Simply rub a small amount into the paintwork in gentle, circular motions with a soft cloth!
