Why Choose Burgundy Chalk Paint?

  • Dark, rich cherry red
  • Inspired by the colours of Pompeii
  • Strong Neoclassical heritage
  • Ideal for traditional and antique-style furniture
  • Excellent for statement furniture and upcycling projects
  • Can be used as a finish coat or inside cupboards and drawers
  • Works beautifully with darker waxes for a textured finish
  • Can be distressed to create an aged appearance

Burgundy works particularly well with softer neutral colours such as Paloma, Paris Grey, Country Grey and Arles. These lighter shades provide contrast against the deep red and can create a more balanced furniture finish.

How to Use Chalk Paint

  • For best results apply the paint with either a chalk paint brush or flat brush.
  • Once you have finished painting, we always recommend using either an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or chalk paint Lacquer to seal and finish. Apply with a wax brush or soft cloth.
  • You can use a Sanding pad to smooth the paint or create an aged effect.
  • Please be aware that the colour shades may look different on your computer screen to real life. For a true representative we strongly advise to use the hand painted colour card.
  • We offer all paints in either a 120 ml tester pot or 1 litre tins.
  • A one litre tin will cover approximately 13 square metres.
  • For hints and tips please see our article on ‘how to chalk paint furniture’
