Red chalk paint - how it works
Thanks to the small chalk particles it contains, chalk-paint develops a slightly rustic, completely matt surface. This has an extremely elegant effect. To match this elegant effect, MissPompadour has developed red shades in the CosyColours collection that bring a particularly warm and cosy atmosphere into your home. The colour shades in the CosyColours Collection are available both as wall paint and as chalk varnish
Colour shades of red chalk paint
The warm Autumn Red is a friendly, soft earth tone. Its brownish-orange colour nuances tempt you to dream, as they are reminiscent of the last warm, sunny days of Indian summer. This red chalk colour is also a fantastic wall paint for a single wall in a room. It gets its softness from the many beige colour components. Combine the soft, earthy orange-red of Autumn Red with beige tones from the CosyColours collection, such as the warm Smooth Beigeor the friendly Wool Blanket Beige. It doesn't get any cosier than this!
Poudre Red has a slightly fresher look. It is a light, soft shade of red with a large beige colour component. This makes the elegant colour shade an inviting but subtle colour. This pastel shade radiates feminine elegance without appearing kitschy in any way. Due to its warm colour components, this chalk paint red tends towards apricot. Poudre Red can be wonderfully complemented by the friendly Soft Beige from the CosyColours collection. With the dull matt finish of this subtle lipstick colour shade, you can not only enhance the surfaces of furniture. Poudre Red is also a fantastic wall paint for a dining room.
The subtle Tender Rose tends more towards rosé. It has a slight tendency towards violet. Its grey hues make it a slightly cooler, awakened and elegant chalk paint in red
These red chalk paints create a noble, soft atmosphere. And yet they radiate energy in your rooms and create a positive mood
Design tips with red chalk paints
You can use our soft red tones on almost any surface. Red chalk paint can be used on wooden furniture, doors and window frames. Paint a bookshelf or chest of drawers with one of these great red colours
However, chalk paint red is also suitable for painting tiles that are not subject to much wear or for treating surfaces that have already been painted. Even glass or plastic can be treated with chalk paint in red tones.
Due to the slightly rustic effect on the painted surfaces, red chalk paint is also well suited to shabby chic furniture. Because to make furniture shabby, the colours should look a little like colours from earlier times. The matt, chalky finish of the CosyColours chalk varnish is wonderfully suited to the vintage style. You can create an authentic vintage atmosphere in your rooms bit by bit, especially with the nuances of different shades of red
Shades of red can be used in any room in your home. Paint a piece of furniture or an accent wall in your dining room, accentuate a lamp with red chalk paint or create highlights in the bathroom by finishing your wall tiles in a warm shade of red. You can breathe life into any area of your home with red chalk paint, because even soft red colour shades spread energy
Often it doesn't even have to be a wall or a piece of furniture. You can create a great effect for your rooms by applying red chalk paint to a few decorative items. Paint the surface of a vase or create an accent with a red candlestick. Red in combination with other colour shades is always a combination that adds chic and vibrancy
The advantages of chalk paint in red
Chalk paint consists mainly of chalk, water and pigments. It is VOC free, which means that it does not release any volatile chemical compounds into the environment as it dries
Another advantage of red chalk paint is that it is easy to clean. The painted surfaces can simply be wiped down with a damp cloth. If you have a particularly hard-wearing surface in one area, such as a dining table, finish the paint with MissPompadour To Seal. If you are more concerned with appearance than strong additional protection, you can also apply a thin layer of CosyColours furniture wax
Application of chalk paint in red
As with all painting work, start by thoroughly cleaning your painted object. Our MissPompadour To Clean is particularly suitable for this. You can then paint with the chalk paint
If you want to paint plastic, ceramic, glass or other smooth surfaces, prime them with our MissPompadour To Bond & Block primer. By painting with this bonding and stain block, the paint will also adhere perfectly to smooth surfaces
If you want to work on plasterboard walls or have stained or slightly crumbly walls, as is often the case in old buildings, then pre-paint with MissPompadour To Prime Walls. This will create an even base for your red chalk paint that does not absorb too much colour.
On wooden furniture and all other surfaces, as well as on the wall, apply the red chalk paint in 2 coats. Use a brush such as our Fine MissPompadour Brush. For larger areas, you can also apply the chalk paint red with a paint roller. Use a paint roller for your walls.
How do I choose the right shade of red paint?
When choosing the right shade of red, you should always consider the pigment composition. For example, if a red colour shade contains a lot of beige pigment, this red will harmonise well with beige shades; if the red chalk paint contains brown pigment, brown shades will go well

Where is red colour best suited?
There is no room in the house that could not benefit from a red colour. If a shade of red is too intense for you over a large area, add targeted red accents with accessories such as lampshades. Or turn a small piece of furniture into a real eye-catcher with red colour. The use of red wall paint in the dining room is very classic. Red colour not only stimulates conversation, but also appetite. Furniture made of dark wood, often antiques, goes well with this colour.
