Wondering how to paint furniture or furniture painting techniques? Then youre in luck because today were focusing on how to paint furniture using 3 fabulous techniques!
There are several techniques you can use when painting furniture! We use spray paint, chalk paint or latex paint when painting furniture, depending on what we feel will fit our needs! You can find our tutorial on how to spray paint furniture here and how to use latex paint here. Chalk paint needs to be painted by hand but you will prep and finish your piece the same way no matter which method you choose. We are excited to show you three techniques to paint your furniture!
Three Techniques to Paint Your Furniture:
1. One way is to use two paint colors! Paint the top a different color than the rest of your piece, mix the colors or paint doors and details a different color. The possibilities are endless.
2. Another way is to paint a stencil or design on your piece! We used vinyl to apply a stencil on this desk to dress up the table top! As you can see, we painted the accents of the desk pink to give it a little contrast and tie in the pink stenciled design.
3. The third technique we’d like to show you is to paint metallic accents on your piece. You can use virtually any kind of metallic paint on your furniture. We use a small brush and hand paint the details of the piece with your choice of color. You can go bold or subtle here and it truly makes a huge difference!
