At Gilly’s, we’re proud to offer a range of chalk effects paints, versatile, stylish, and easy to use. With just a few brushstrokes, you can achieve a smooth matte or chalky finish that brings charm and character to any piece.

Whether you’re upcycling furniture, refreshing kitchen cabinets, or adding flair to home décor projects, chalk effects paint makes the process simple. Often no sanding is required, preparation is minimal, and it adheres beautifully to wood, metal, fabric, and even glass. 

Low VOC Paint

If you’ve been searching for a low VOC chalk style paint in Australia, you’ve found it. Many conventional paints contain high levels of “Volatile Organic Compounds” (VOCs) such as biocides, formaldehyde, and ammonia, chemicals that can impact both health and indoor air quality. Mezzie + Frank’s Chalk Effects Paint range is classed as very low VOC, with less than 5g per litre. That means you can create confidently, knowing your projects are safer for you, your family, and the environment.

Available in Many Shades

Our collection of chalked paint offers a variety of colours to suit every taste and space:

One of our favourites is Baggy Green Chalk Effects Paint. The rich, earthy shade adds a bold pop of colour, bringing the rich green of the outdoors in.

Alternatively, you can opt for a lighter shade. Our eucalyptus green paint is a pale, pastel shade of green. It reminds the painter of the distinct scent of eucalyptus trees on a beautifully warm day. It brings to mind the natural tone of our beautiful native forests. This adventurous tone provides a brilliant alternative to plain white furniture.

If you are looking for a more classic look, white Chalk Effects Paint may be for you. White is an uncomplicated colour, offering pure simplicity that matches any décor. White furniture paint is sure to elevate and enhance your space. Off-white shades are also available.

On the other hand, you may prefer black Chalk Effects Paint. It is a beautiful and sophisticated shade, offering a timeless quality. Black furniture paint is sure to add a touch of elegance to your furniture. Or have a look at our coalmine grey if you are looking for something a little lighter.

Every shade has its own story to tell, from bold statement pieces to subtle, calming finishes.

Finish Your Furniture With Style

Chalk Effects Paint produces a natural matte finish that is beautiful on its own, but you can also add extra depth and protection:

• Gilly’s Carnauba Polish: Enhances the finish with a soft, natural wax sheen.
• Mezzie + Franks’s Hardy Clear Coat: A durable acrylic sealer for lasting protection.

Whichever finish you choose, you’ll add both beauty and longevity to your project.
