- Start with a preliminary treatment of the wood of the furniture in question.
We often focus only on the paint, but the preliminary treatments we can use are just as important. It is best to start by thoroughly cleaning the entire wooden surface to remove any stains or dirt. For this we recommend our OSMO clear Spray Cleaner, as it is ideal both for a preliminary clean and later for daily cleaning.
Once the whole work surface is clean, it is important to apply a primer to the wood. With this we will, on the one hand, protect and nourish the wood deeply from within and, on the other hand, achieve better absorption of the paint we will use afterwards. For this we cannot fail to recommend our Baucent eco-friendly oil primer.
- Now that we have our furniture clean and treated with primer, the time has come to paint it. The change you can achieve by choosing the right colour for each piece is incredible. You can choose from the classic white that never goes out of fashion to the most vibrant, striking colours. Give free rein to your imagination and experiment with all kinds of colours and finishes.
- Continuing with the subject of finishes, we advise that, if you do not have much experience, you simply apply an oil or a wax to give a polished finish, since these products are easy to apply.
We recommend our Baucent beeswax and beeswax balm to achieve an intense satin sheen. Waxes are also a product with which you can obtain an aged finish and give a different style.
We leave you the direct link to our Waxes catalogue for wooden furniture.
Finally, to protect the furniture once painted, it is best to apply an enamel or oil. These will help you not only protect and keep the furniture in perfect condition, but you can also use coloured enamels. Do not miss all the colour offered by our Baucent eco-friendly oil enamel.
If you prefer, after waxing you can sand a little on the parts of the furniture you wish, to achieve the vintage look that is so fashionable lately.
- What type of paint do we advise you to use?
The most suitable paints are natural, environmentally respectful paints. From the Pinturas Ecológicas team we can assure you that the results achieved with this type of paint are unbeatable.
We hope these tips help you refresh your furniture so you can enjoy it for much longer.
