MOVING into a fresh, newly built home or painstakingly renovated property can highlight to us that pieces of furniture previously suited our décor now may look outdated and out of place.
Instead of using your time and energy to sell old furniture, with a simple coat of paint you will be able to transform your time-loved pieces into refreshed, stylish and one-of-a-kind items.
Dark brown, wooden furniture has featured prominently in many homes in recent decades but there has been a strong shift in recent years towards lighter colours and matte finishes. Matte paint is commonly referred to as ‘chalk’ paint.
The wonderful part about chalk paint is that many of these paints do not require the use of a primer.
Most of the time you can skip sanding, too. Just a clean is all that’s required to prepare the furniture. The rustic effect they produce also means painting items doesn’t require perfection. In fact, the less perfect, the better!
Any wooden furniture you have is able to be repainted with chalk paint, and in fact, very old furniture with intricate carvings comes up particularly well after being painted with a matte paint.
