Shabby Chic Furniture Makeover

Painting dated and second-hand pieces of furniture is one of this year’s big interior decorating trends. It gives furniture a new lease of life and provides a perfect means of adding colour and interest to a room – without spending lots of money.

With Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint it’s easy to update the appearance of any piece of furniture. Available in a range of 16 beautiful shades it dries to a soft, chalky, flat matt finish and is easy to apply.

Painting furniture can be a great way to kick start the decoration of a room or a means of making an old piece match your new theme.

It can be a piece of furniture whose appearance you’ve tired of, or maybe a bargain from a charity shop or online auction site. A sideboard for the lounge perhaps? A bedside table, wardrobe or maybe a kitchen table and chairs. Look beyond the current finish of your furniture and imagine how good it will look painted.

Choosing the right colour for furniture is very important, of course. Beautifully coloured furniture can instantly lift the appearance of your home. Use whites and off-whites to create an elegant, classic look or provide standout against dark coloured backgrounds.

Inject character and personality into pieces by choosing bold colours, which make a real statement in a room. Combining colours adds further depth and interest.

Decide whether you want a block colour finish or a designer paint effect. An on-trend shabby chic look can be achieved by applying multiple layers of paint – as we’ve done with our pieces – and using fine grit sandpaper and / or wire wool to give areas of the painted item a worn and distressed look. Either sand back to the original material or combine a couple of colours, sanding the top coat back to reveal the colour of the paint below. For a beautiful, vibrant effect use contrasting paint colours.

After painting apply (optional) Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax.  This clear, water-repellent wax gives a soft lustre to the finished piece of furniture whilst adding a protective layer.
