Painting your wooden furniture is a quick and easy way to change your home decor

Before painting your furniture, you must properly prepare the surfaces. To get a smooth, blemish-free finish, you will first need to repair any cracks and scratches that may exist. Next you must sand the wood in the direction of the grain and finally clean the surfaces very well.

The first decision you must make is whether you are going to preserve the natural grain of the wood, for which you will use a varnish, or if on the contrary, you are going to cover the wood with a color, completely hiding the grain, for which you will use an enamel.

In any case, if you are going to paint the furniture inside your house, it is recommended that you use a varnish or a water-based enamel, As this will avoid the strong smell of solvent and the possible toxicity of other products. Seek good advice to correctly choose your varnish or enamel.
