  • Annie Sloan, a renowned interior designer, fine artist, decorative painter, and the inventor of Chalk Paint, invites us into her colorful Victorian home in Oxford, England.
    For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com
    Widely considered one of the world’s leading authorities on paint, color, and style, Annie’s home is a true reflection of her creative spirit and multicultural heritage. The Victorian house, slightly renovated, is a canvas of bold colors and eclectic decor. Each room tells a story of Annie's life, from her childhood and travels to her passion for cultural eclecticism. The home is adorned with inherited furniture, treasures from her journeys, and unique finds from reclamation yards.
    Annie’s playful approach to decor is organic and embraces a sense of clutter and untidiness that adds to the home's charm. Many of the vibrant pieces and decor items are crafted by Annie herself, showcasing her extraordinary talent and love for design.

    I love it when a house is beautiful and looks as though you can actually LIVE in it. Not as though it was designed and renovated to within an inch of it's death. She has a lovely personality too.

    She is amazing. We all have so much to learn from her approach to decorating: don't be afraid to move things around, change things, live with them for a while, and then adjust. Spectacular.

    Her home is a feast for the eyes. I love her father's advice to be able to sit in any chair in your home and see something beautiful. I'll try it in my own and let it guide my choices.

    In the mid 1990s we lived in a house in Kemptown in Brighton. Annie's mum lived next door and was so proud of her daughter that she told me all about her the very first time she introduced herself. I love her relaxed carefree style and, like her, I am always looking and changing at home. It's a life long hobby!

    Bottom line - wish there was someone like an Annie Sloan in my family, in my immediate sphere. It would have been helpful. Love her depth of spirit, and a path/circumstance that quite obviously and actively expresses her particular kind of wonder, surfeit reserve of craft and tool, intimacy and affinity for ancient tale and spirits. A rich life seamlessly expressed in objects and propensities within the home. Thank you, Homeworthy. Thank you so much, Annie.

    OMG, I love this woman. It was so nice to see that she surrounds herself with her own beautiful and imaginative paintings. So much talent and wisdom and freedom in her style and her way of thinking. I feel that she has probably been this way all her life and I hope all those around her realize how special she is.

    Oh, I love the green painted frame of the mirror , the green painted hall with a beautiful pink and the paint on the floor of the stairwell gives balance to all in that area. This lady, Mrs. Ann has a wider styles and she’s very artistically inspired and gifted that no wonder she needs and occupied a fourth floor building with all of her’s possessions. And why not. They’re lovely! I’m kind of minimalist-eclectic/victorian style person in the last few years however, I admired people who’ve large homes and are able to decorate their home with all their delighted things. Some people looked at and may think that the huge amount of things in the rooms are as though is a store but I can recognize that Mrs. Sloans, decors evokes finest, and reality of a great artist.

    I love, love , love those homes which are "organically grown". This is what a home is all about, It is a part of your personality, a historical witness of one`s life. At least this is my opinion. My home is just like that as well, a wonderous mix of things that bring me joy. 🙂Huggs from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.

    This is where the 'Vampire Knitting Club' series is set and she is just like a character in the book we haven't met (yet). I loved this house so much, it is a little like mine. Lived in, colourful, a work in progress, full of art and lifetime collections. Thank you so much for sharing with us Annie! I especially like how the house has changed as your family has, and now it is an amazing place for your grandchildren to visit.

    I think homes are an expression and extension of your life. In so, you get a glimpse of people from their own expression. Her style is eclectic and very beautiful. Her choice of colors down to her pictures and such tells us her story and keeps her memories for all to share in. It's just wonderful. Plus, I love her paint line as well...just a wonderful person.❤

A somehow soothing blend of colors throughout , from room to room. Extensions that have brought in so much light and created delightful rooms to marinate in. And such a charming host.

    I am in the middle of being guided around your wonderful home Annie, and just absolutely love it. How refreshing to see a home with character, personality and fabulous colour. I agree with so much of what you say about different houses one goes into which are contrived, dull and far too tidy to be true. Since watching your entertaining video, I took stock and realised just how much of my home is painted in Annie Sloan paint! I could never have done without it.

    Thank you Annie, I love everything about how you are and what you created in your home.
    Absolutely amazing. I adore colour and could not live in a beige or grey house.
    Well, I could but I would start adding colour, it's in ones blood.
    I could be best friends with you, lol. 😅
    I am from South Africa and have been to Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, etc, and there really is something beautiful about good antique African wood. They are so creative.
    I am also Italian and live in Europe now, so I have this love of design and beauty.
    I get you, I resonate as they say because I am very eclectic.
    The chalk paint is a wonder!!! What a brilliant invention.
    This home is happy, with the painted piano to enjoy, and the painted dinning room table, the orange table, the art, rugs, the studio, etc, etc, it all brings me so much joy.
    That is what a home should be, a place to throw off your shoes as you say, fill it with family, love, food, and creativity.
    You father was right. To sit in a chair and look at a place or an object and see if it looks good.?
    I also can't be in a place that I can't stand to look at. I agree.
    If you read these comments Annie, thank you. You are such a joy. Ciao 💒🏩🌈

    A bit too much popping colour and pattern for my taste. But I did really *love* the earthy pink in the entryway. And she is a lovely, artistic lady.
    She has some really beautiful old paintings, and interesting decorative objects.
    The "Tattoo urn" was pretty, and the the old carved wooden doors were full of character
    - I *love* the Rococo screen in her blue room!
    I'd call her style "Artistic Colourful Maximalism".

    I love Annie Sloan paint & wax and I love her attitude to living in your home. I painted my antique French triple dresser with large mirror & the matching single dresser with her pale versailles green paint about 10 years ago. Still loving it! Parts of the dressers had bad sun damage before I bought them, so perfect for painting. They are well-made solid wood with built-in dividers in some drawers. I have also painted an old large chine sideboard in Annie Sloan's cream paint with versaille edging details & designs on the doors. I also painted an old French curio cabinet in her cream paint & used her gilding gold to highlight the French details on it. I am about to currently paint my old Henredon desk in her black graphite to match two tall black bookcases in my living room. Obviously, I am an admirer of her style & really enjoyed this video showing her home.
