FAQs
There are a few primary points to consider when choosing what furniture paint you need. Consider the sort of tones you want and where the furniture is located. Popular paint types for furniture are:
Matt Furniture Paint
Matt finishes are smooth and forego the shine common on pre-painted furniture. Many prefer the finish of flat paints like Rustoleum Chalky Furniture Paint, which is available in more than a dozen colours.
Eggshell Furniture Paint
Many homes, especially in kitchens, opt for eggshell colours on cabinets, chests of drawers and tables. For a premium eggshell finish on furniture, consider Farrow and Ball Estate Eggshell.
Satin Furniture Paint
Velvety tones work well on most furniture, and a suitable satin finish makes it all the easier. A reliable satin, like Little Green Intelligent Satin, used on prepped furniture, will be durable and slightly reflective.
Gloss Furniture Paint
Gloss paint may not be the most popular choice for use on furniture. With its higher sheen and predisposition to have a slick finish, it tends to be left to highlighting certain furniture features rather than the entire piece. But there are some circumstances where it may be an appropriate choice.
Here’s what to expect from our range of paint for wood furniture and other surfaces.
Diverse Finishes
We stock gloss, satin, matt and wax-finish paints for furniture in a variety of colours.
-
Gloss: Available in various colours, our high-opacity glosses resist wear and tear, finger marks and scratches. They’re ideal for doors, windows, trims and wardrobes. Our low VOC gloss finishes, such as Johnstone’s Trade Aqua Guard, are suitable for areas where low odour is essential.
-
Satin: With water-based formulas, our satin finish furniture paint colours flow well and dry quickly. Satin paints offer a beautiful, subtle finish ideal for skirting boards, kitchen cabinets and chairs.
-
Matt: Offering minimal sheen, matt indoor furniture paint is perfect for upcycling furniture and achieving a colour-drenched effect. Some matt paints, like Craig and Rose Chalky Emulsion, offer a chalky matt finish.
Primers, Undercoats & Varnishes
Our primers, undercoats and varnishes seal surfaces against moisture, adhering to various wood, laminate and metal surfaces. They’re suitable for medium to high-traffic areas, yielding the best results when paired with our furniture paint.
Polishes, Oils & Waxes
We stock various protective wood polishes, oils and waxes ideal for skirting boards, wooden furniture and bannisters. These products offer low to mid sheens and gloss effects with water resistance. They’re ideal for maintaining your wood’s natural appearance for years to come.
