The funny thing about pink chalk paint colors is that a lot of them don’t really look pink at first! But, unless you are looking for very bright pop of pink, the majority of shades you’ll probably be interested in will be the subdued blush/nude shades. Though they don’t look incredibly pink on the graphic above, in person they are just right. I like suggesting too that new painters start with a readily available and low-cost chalk style paint. Rust-Oleum Chalked is excellent as it’s one of the most budget-friendly chalk paints out there. You can feel free to experiment without the pressures of using expensive boutique paints.

Her eponymous line of decorative paints draws on a lifetime of research and experience in working with paint and colour. Looking to give your furniture a new lease of life? Chalk paint — famed for its matte, chalky appearance — is a brilliant way to spruce up worn-out, tired-looking furniture, including kitchen cabinets, chairs, internal doors, and drawers. Particularly when you do a chair, it's important to turn it upside down and paint the underneath first,' explains Annie. 'You won't miss bits that way and it's quite a fun way to paint. Some people find chairs boring to paint, but I love it!' The color palette is a bit limited with additional colors available depending on where you shop (more on that in a moment). But the ease of obtaining the paint and the low cost make it popular in the furniture painting world. I’ve been chalk painting furniture for several years now and I can’t believe I haven’t written this review sooner! Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint, a chalk style paint, has been my go-to for many projects just because of it’s affordability and availability.

Don't overload your brush! This is such an important rule with all painting,' Annie tells House Beautiful UK. 'You can add paint, but it's much harder to take it away! Too much paint can lead to oozing, smudging and general messiness. Every time you dip your brush or roller, wipe it on a lint free cotton cloth or on your roller tray to remove excess product.' However, Rust-Oleum Chalked is also a “no-prep” or “low-prep” paint that provides the beautiful matte chalk finish and can be painted directly onto most furniture without any fuss.

'Don't paint your kitchen red if it's not a colour you like, but fashion tells you to do it. You have to live with it!' One of my favourite tips is to paint something neutral on the outside and then add a flash of vibrant colour on the inside; it'll make you smile every time you open a drawer or a wardrobe.
