Furniture, how to do it with your own hands, how to do it with your own hands, how what you need to get the job done

A good way to decorate, renovate or give a certain style to the elements of the environment is to paint the furniture. From any, even the oldest interior items, you can create a unique work of art. Everything is limited only by imagination and patience. nineOl000 and ruler

  • Video

    • Which furniture is better to use

    Of course, there are no restrictions on the choice of items. The main factor determining suitability is the material. For the implementation of the plan, old furniture made of wood is better suited. This is precisely its value relative to modern products made from chipboard and fiberboard. “Sawdust furniture” is definitely not suitable.

    Wooden surface is easier to work with. Old paint or varnish can be easily removed, various defects (chips, cracks) can be removed or left to give the effect of "aging". In addition, most of the ways of applying drawings are designed specifically for wood. Any pattern or ornament looks good under varnish on a wood texture. Suitable furniture, covered with natural veneer. An example of this is an old wardrobe or chest of drawers made of multilayer veneered plywood. After removing the old varnish or paint, the surface is primed, painted in the desired color and a pattern is applied. nine0003

    But furniture made from modern materials should not be crossed off the list. Acrylic-coated MDF facades can be painted in any style after some preparation. Acrylic coating is a layer of paint that is polished after drying. This type of coating is often used in the manufacture of facades of kitchen sets.

    Modern paints and varnishes allow them to be applied over various coatings. There are also paints designed for painting glass without special preparation. nine0003

    Popular painting options

    The most common option is a simple decorative painting of furniture. Basically, this is the application of small elements, ornaments or repeating patterns. For a simple drawing, paint of the same color is used, and to simplify the process, templates or stencils are used for painting. This type of decoration is suitable for modern furniture. Gilding is widespread. This type of painting is typical for interiors in classical styles. Figured elements of furniture decoration are decorated under gold. nine0003

    Artistic painting is a more complex option. This is a rather painstaking work, all stages of the kora are performed manually, including the smallest details. Painting on furniture can be in the form of a pattern or a small fragment, as well as a complex three-dimensional pattern. Author's works are especially appreciated.

    A separate place is occupied by the production of semi-antique interior items. This also includes the restoration of old furniture. Various painting techniques and styles are used in the work. Surfaces and trim elements are subjected to "aging" in various ways. Antiques are very popular among wealthy people and collectors. Usually this type of decoration is made to order. nine0003

    Tools and materials required The basis for the coating is a primer. It must be designed for woodworking. Acrylic-based primer does a good job.

    Any latex or acrylic paint will work for the top coat. The surface is better to make matte. Gloss doesn't always look good. A good option would be paint in an aerosol can. This will allow you to apply it in an even layer. nine0003

    Art paints

    Acrylic paints are often used for furniture painting. They are well suited for drawing various patterns. You can also use oil mixtures. Their traditional purpose is painting.

    Lacquer

    It acts as a protective coating. It is possible to use alkyd or acrylic varnish for furniture. Also, like paint, it can be matte or glossy. Applying a layer of varnish over the drawing is the final stage of work. nine0003

    Paint brushes and roller

    A roller may be needed to apply primer and paint over a large area. With curly elements, a wide brush will help to cope.

    Drawing brushes, pencil, paper and ruler

    Fine patterns and lines are easy to draw with fine art brushes. For acrylic paint, it is better to use brushes with synthetic bristles. It won't stick. Oil paint will require a brush with natural bristles. nine0003

    A simple pencil, paper and ruler are useful for sketching and marking the surface for drawing. In addition, you may need to make templates or stencils for painting.

    Surface Preparation Tool

    Remove old varnish or paint from furniture by sanding it with sandpaper. You will need "sandpaper" of different grain sizes for a more thorough surface treatment. In some places, the old coating will have to be removed with a spatula. nine0003

    Some types of varnish or paint can be removed from old furniture with special chemicals. You can find them at any hardware store.

    Use a cloth to remove dust. A brush with a long and hard bristle will help to sweep dirt out of cracks and other hard-to-reach places.

    How to create a design and implement an idea

    Do-it-yourself furniture painting is a long and painstaking work. The process may take a long time. Sometimes it takes more than one day or even a week. It is especially difficult if there is no experience in such a matter, it does not matter if we paint old furniture or give a new look to modern objects. nine0003

    For beginners, a few tips will not be superfluous:

    • Any work begins with a sketch or sketch. You can develop a design yourself or borrow the idea of ​​​​painting furniture from a photo on the Internet. In any case, transferring a drawing from paper will be easier than inventing everything on the go;
    • In the absence of experience, you should not immediately take on a large amount of work. First, paint a small object;
    • If you can dismantle the furniture, do it. The individual parts are much easier to work with; nine0239
    • Free space. There should be enough space to work. It is possible that the furniture will have to be rotated, tilted or moved;
    • Do not neglect the quality of surface preparation. Polishing defects can spoil the look of even a very talented painting. Dust and small particles lead to the same result;
    • Primer is a must for painting or painting. It is easier to work on a surface covered with soil;
    • Every coat of primer, paint or painting needs to dry thoroughly. Minimum - a day for each layer. nine0239

    The process of implementing an idea consists of several stages. The first one is preparation for priming and painting. The classic version with old wooden furniture involves the removal of the paintwork. To do this, you will need coarse and medium grit sandpaper or a special chemical agent - a wash and a spatula.

    1. After removing varnish and paint, sand the surface with fine sandpaper. This will get rid of excessive roughness and small scratches. If there are large chips and cracks on the furniture, they are puttied and sanded; nine0239
    2. The next step is to apply the primer. This is done with a brush or roller. Drops and streaks should be avoided. In extreme cases, you can get rid of them using a sponge, or wait for the layer to dry and sand it with sandpaper;
    3. Next comes the painting. The paint is applied in two or three thin layers. The result should be a smooth and even surface. After drying, you can proceed to the most interesting, but no less time-consuming stage - drawing;
      4. nine0238 Furniture with paintings - not necessarily an old wardrobe or chest of drawers, covered with patterns on all sides. More often it is a small pattern or a repeating pattern. To apply the same patterns, use a stencil or template. These can be simple butterfly stencils, small patterns, or large patterns with complex patterns.

    There is more than one way to paint furniture.
