Painting a Colorful World with Annie Sloan
Annie Sloan is one of the most influential figures in interior design and decorative painting. An artist, inventor, educator, and entrepreneur, she has spent over three decades helping people rediscover creativity and self-expression—making the world more colourful, one brushstroke at a time.
In 1990, Annie revolutionized the DIY world with her invention of Chalk Paint™—a versatile, fast-drying paint that adheres to almost any surface without sanding or priming. It gave people permission to be bold, to transform old furniture, and to embrace creative freedom.
Today, Annie Sloan Interiors remains a family-run business based in Oxford, England, where Annie continues to lead with heart and innovation. Her line now includes richly pigmented Wall Paint and Annie Sloan Satin Paint for smooth, soft-sheen finishes on wood and metal.
Author of 27 books and a global authority on design, Annie’s work is rooted in art history and shaped by global decorative traditions. In 2023, she was awarded a CBE for her outstanding contributions to interior design.
But Annie’s legacy is about more than accolades—it’s about empowerment. She believes everyone can reclaim their creativity and make sustainable choices that bring new life to their homes.
We’re thrilled to welcome Annie Sloan to the ReBloom Podcast. Listen in as we explore her inspiring journey—and why she believes everyone can find their own authentic path.
