Annie Sloan releases her 27th book - Annie Sloan's Colourful Living
Annie Sloan's Colourful Living - 30 creative upclycling paint projects for your home

Annie Sloan's Colourful Living - 30 creative upcycling projects for your home - is published by CICO Books on the 8th April 2025, priced at £16.99.

Every project in the book transforms an unloved second-hand item into something beautiful and unique, and Annie provides expert advice on sourcing the original pieces at flea markets and online.

The projects are grouped by simplicity and the length of time required to complete each one, from an afternoon to a weekend.

The techniques used range from painting to gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing and stencilling and each one is clearly explained in easy-to-follow step-by-step photography.

Considered a world’s leading authority on paint, colour and style, Annie was awarded a CBE for Services to Interior Design in 2023. Annie Sloan is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the invention of her revolutionary Chalk Paint in 2025.
