How to Use Firle Chalk Paint

For best results, apply Annie Sloan Firle Chalk Paint with a Chalk Paint Brush or Flat Brush. Chalk Paint is designed for furniture painting and can be applied to a wide range of surfaces with minimal preparation.

Firle can be used as a single colour to make a bold statement or combined with other colours to create a more layered and decorative finish. Its bright green character works particularly well on chairs, tables, cabinets, cupboards and smaller statement pieces.

For a romantic, bohemian or vintage appearance, lightly distress the dried paint around edges and details. This can soften the brightness of Firle and give the furniture a more characterful, aged finish.

For a more contemporary look, combine Firle with neutral colours and stronger accent shades. Annie Sloan also recommends using Firle with Barcelona Orange to create a striking mid-century modern effect.

Firle also works beautifully as part of a Charleston-inspired colour scheme. Pair it with Scandinavian Pink and Old White for a softer decorative palette inspired by Annie Sloan’s collaboration with Charleston Farmhouse.

Once the paint has dried, protect your finished furniture with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer. Wax is ideal for indoor furniture, while Lacquer provides a more durable protective finish where required.

One litre of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint covers approximately 13 square metres.

Please be aware that colours can appear differently on screen. For the most accurate representation of Firle, we recommend using a hand-painted Annie Sloan colour card or a 120ml tester pot before starting your project.

Firle Compared with Other Annie Sloan Green Colours

Firle is the colour to choose when you want a fresh, bright green with plenty of energy and a modern decorative feel.

Firle is a crisp, zesty green inspired by Charleston Farmhouse and the joyful use of colour associated with the Bloomsbury Group.

Antibes Green is a brighter emerald green with stronger neoclassical and French country influences.

Capability Green is softer and more natural, inspired by the English landscape and suited to calmer country interiors.

Amsterdam Green is much darker and more dramatic, making it a better choice for deep green statement furniture.

Florence is richer and more blue-green, with a distinctive teal character.
