Annie Sloan Is Excited to Announce That Chalk Paint Is 35

Considered the world’s leading authority on paint, color, and style, Annie was awarded a CBE for Services to Interior Design in 2023.
Annie says, “Wow! 35 years. How did this happen? I am overjoyed! When we launched in 1990 there was always a grand plan, but the details fell into place one step at a time as we grew into the business we are now! I’ve had a huge amount of help, kindness, and friendship from my community of stockists and painters all around the world who share my love for design, color, and decorative painting. I still have lots of plans and there are so many things in the pipeline I want to do so watch this space!”
Annie Sloan developed her unique range of decorative paint, Chalk Paint™ in 1990, drawing on years of experience in the field of decorative paints and color.
“It’s thrilling to me to see the wonderful things people do with my paint, from the real experts to first timers. It’s always been my mission to transform the world through creativity, one step at a time.” Annie Sloan
To coincide with the 35th anniversary of her unique decorative paint, Chalk Paint™, Annie Sloan is launching her 27th book. Annie Sloan’s Colourful Living will be published on 8 April.
