This Barqoue bed has been painted with Chalk Paint™ in Athenian Black, giving it drama and letting it stand out against this neutral palette bedroom.

This baroque bed frame is the perfect stage for the pitch-black pigment-packed drama of Chalk Paint™ in Athenian Black. The colour has been allowed to take centre stage in this otherwise neutral room. Just two coats of Chalk Paint™ and a coat of Clear Chalk Paint™ Wax over the entire piece to protect and perfect for years of nights to come. The bed side table is an IKEA stool which has been upcycled with Country Grey and Clear Chalk Paint™ Wax.

The wall has been painted in a rough-luxe technique, using neutrals and greens from the Chalk Paint™ palette, including Olive, Versailles, Paris Grey and Aubusson Blue on a base of Old White. For more on this technique click here.

The floors are painted with Versailles and finished with Matt Chalk Paint™ Lacquer.
