Painted furniture is extremely popular at the moment. Breathing new life into old furniture gives a real feeling of accomplishment. While we were completing a larger decorating project our client asked if we could possibly hand paint this piece of furniture. Hand painted furniture offers incredible reward for us. The process is methodical, and it transforms beautiful furniture.

Did you know that there are two main types of paint for furniture? These can be broken down into water-based and oil-based products. Both alternatives have their own benefits and drawbacks. If you would like to find out more about these, we are happy to discuss them with you.
Generally, we tend to use oil-based undercoat and topcoats. These products are hard wearing and long-lasting. When you are hand painting furniture, you can select the same colour as you have used for the walls. Or you can choose a different statement colour. This will help to create a contrast to your existing décor.
