Painting furniture has become rather popular over the past decade or so. As a matter of fact, there really isn’t a reason to toss that old solid wood furniture anymore. There are so many great products that will easily transform any piece of wood with minimal effort.
Here is a list of some ideas to update that old dated furniture:
- Two-tone paint: Choose two complementary colors and paint the top and sides of your furniture one color and the drawers or doors another.
- Ombre effect: Use a paintbrush or spray paint to create a gradient effect, going from light to dark or vice versa.
- Geometric shapes: Use painter’s tape to create triangles, rectangles, or other shapes on your furniture, then paint inside the lines.
- Chalk paint: This type of paint gives a matte, vintage look and can be distressed for an even more rustic feel.
- Stenciling: Use stencils to create a pattern or design on your furniture, such as flowers, paisley, or chevron.
- Metallic paint: Add some shine to your furniture with metallic paint, such as gold, silver, or bronze.
- Color blocking: Choose two or three bold colors and paint different sections of your furniture in each color.
Remember to properly prepare your furniture before painting, such as sanding and cleaning, and to use a primer if necessary.
