Canvas – Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan

Description

Annie Sloan Canvas Chalk Paint is a pale, muted beige that will work with most interior design styles from rustic farmhouse to contemporary modern and sophisticated traditional. It pairs beautifully with natural materials such as stone, wood and dark metals to give that organic, neutral shade to build up your home, much like a painters canvas.

Canvas pairs particularly well with natural materials such as wood, stone and dark metals. It can be used on its own for a soft neutral finish or combined with other Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colours to create a layered, complementary colour scheme.

Canvas - For a neutral, muted beige feel.

Original - For a yellowed, warm feel.

Old White - For a greyed, colder feel.

Pure - For a fresh, modern feel. This is a very clean white.
