There are a number of reasons why you might want to paint your furniture. Maybe you have an old piece that desperately needs a refresh, or maybe you’re just looking to add some color and personality to your home. Either way, we’re here to help!

In this article, we’ll explain how to paint furniture so that you can get started right away.

First things first: Determine the kind of furniture you will be painting. If it’s something large like a dresser or table, then you’ll need quite a bit of time for the process (and probably some help). If it’s something smaller, like an end table or nightstand, then the job is much easier!

Next step is to gather all the supplies that you will require for painting the furniture piece. Look up for some trending colours and designs for inspiration. Don’t go wild with your colour choices, it has to blend in with your current furniture pieces.

Materials required for the project

Painting furniture can be a great way to give your home a new look, but it’s also an easy way to get frustrated and disappointed in your new paint job. The trick? Preparing the furniture for painting, then painting it correctly.

You’ll need:

·       Paint (of course!) in whatever color(s) matches your design vision

·       A brush for applying primer

·       Sandpaper for smoothing out any rough spots on the surface

·       A clean cloth for wiping away excess

Process and tips on painting the furniture

The process and steps involved in painting the furniture may sound simple, but you’ll need to be careful:

Step 1: Clean the furniture

Step 2: Sand and smoothen out rough spots

Step 3: Apply Primer

Step 4: Wait for it to dry

Step 5: Apply the initial coat of paint

Step 6: Apply the final coat of paint

Here are some tips on how to paint furniture:

• Clean the surface of your furniture with soap and water before you start. This will help you avoid any dirt or dust getting on your paint job, which will make it easier to maintain when you’re done.
• Before applying any primer or paint, sand down any rough spots or blemishes on your furniture. This will help you get a smooth finish on your project!
•  Apply primer before applying paint—it helps prevent chipping and cracking in your finished product! You should apply primer in thin coats; if you don’t have enough time between each coat, let the last one dry overnight before applying another one.
• Use long brush strokes when painting with a brush; this will help prevent drips from forming as you work!
