Redecorating
your home doesn’t have to be an expensive task. Making your furniture work for the
new look in your home can be relatively easy. Wood furniture is very popular
and a versatile look that works in most rooms and with most colour schemes. Most
people have or have had wood dining furniture in their homes and although it
may seem old-fashioned furniture there are plenty of ways you can re vamp it to
fit your refurbishment.
Before you
do anything you must clean your furniture up. Use sugar soap and hot water to
get rid of any oil, grease or stains on your wood and polish all surfaces. Wipe
it down with Easy Surface Preparation, which acts as a polish and primes any
shiny surface. This means you won’t need
to sand your furniture down. However, your furniture may have
imperfections. These imperfections can
give your furniture character and it isn’t necessary to get rid of them, that’s
up to you.
If you
decide to get rid of any curved edges or imperfections you will have to sand it
down by using either an electric sander or sanding paper on all surfaces. This
can be a time consuming task but is worth it for the overall look. After you
have sanded all the furniture you will have to prime it, when the furniture is
dust free and dry. You can then paint your furniture.
You can paint
your furniture a brand new colour to create the look you want. Try bold bright
colours in a pale room to give it some life. Keeping the wood effect with
bright colours creates a cosy cottage feel while getting rid of the wood effect
will be modern. If you aren’t feeling
adventurous you could opt for painting it in a nice cream or soft shades
palette. French country style is great for those who want to keep the soft
shades, creating an antique yet timeless design.
