How to Use Amsterdam Green Chalk Paint

For best results, apply Annie Sloan Amsterdam Green Chalk Paint with a 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.

Amsterdam Green can be used as a single colour to create a dramatic statement piece or combined with lighter shades to soften the overall look. It works particularly well on larger furniture such as wardrobes, cupboards, dressers and sideboards.

For a vintage or distressed finish, allow the paint to dry and then lightly sand selected areas around edges and details. This can reveal the surface underneath and give the furniture a naturally aged appearance.

Amsterdam Green can also be used as a backdrop for botanical decoration. Green furniture paired with botanical prints, flowers and plant imagery creates a natural and characterful interior scheme.

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, although actual coverage will vary depending on the surface and application.

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