If your furniture starts to look worn and looks a little dull, don’t get rid of it! You can give them a second life in a way as easy and simple as painting them. Today we bring you a series of tips and tricks on how to paint your wooden furniture.
- Start with a pre-treatment on the wood of the furniture in question.
Many times we focus only on the paint, but just as important are the previous treatments that we can use. It is best to start by deep cleaning the entire wood surface to remove any stains or dirt. For this we recommend our OSMO colorless spray cleaner as it is ideal for both pre-cleaning and subsequent daily cleaning.Once the entire work surface has been cleaned, it is important to make a primer on the wood. With this we will be able to protect and nourish the wood in depth from the inside and on the other hand we will achieve a better absorption of the paint that we will later use. For this we cannot fail to recommend our Baucent ecological oil primer.
- Now that we have our furniture clean and treated with primer, it’s time to paint it. The change you can achieve by choosing the right color for each piece of furniture is incredible. You can choose from the classic white that never goes out of style to the most vibrant and striking colors. Unleash your imagination and experiment with all kinds of colors and finishes.
- Continuing with the topic of finishes, we advise you that if you do not have much experience you directly apply an oil or wax to give a polished finish since these products are easy to apply.
We recommend our Beeswax and Beeswax Balm from Baucent for an intense satin shine. In addition, waxes are a product with which you can also obtain an aged finish and give a different style.

These will help you not only to protect and keep the furniture in perfect condition, but you can also use colored enamels.

If you prefer, after waxing you can sand a little on the parts of the furniture you want to achieve a vintage look that is so fashionable lately.
- What type of paint do we recommend you use?
The most suitable paints are natural and environmentally friendly paints. From the Ecological Paints team we can assure you that the results achieved with this type of paint are unbeatable.
