What do furniture painters do?
Furniture painters will paint your furniture to give it a new lease of life. They'll have experience restoring and painting various types of furniture and materials. Your particular project might involve painting, staining, refinishing, and restoration.
Furniture painting companies near you can also help with paint and application choices.
What types of furniture can be painted?
Furniture painters often deal with a wide range of furniture projects, such as:
Wooden furniture like tables, chairs, dressers, cabinets, office desks, wardrobes
Metal furniture like patio furniture, iron bed frames, metal cabinets
Wicker and rattan furniture like garden furniture, conservatory chairs, tables, sofas
Plastic furniture like outdoor chairs, tables, storage bins
Antique furniture like vintage or heirloom pieces - these might need restoring or refinishing
Upholstered furniture like sofas, armchairs, or ottomans
Look for specific furniture painting services depending on the furniture type. For example, you may be looking for wardrobe painters or kitchen cabinet spray painters.
Is it a good idea to paint furniture?
Painting furniture can be a great idea. If you have a tired piece of furniture that just doesn't look right in your home any more, a lick of paint can make all the difference.
For example, do you love the shabby chic look and have some old farm-style furniture? The right paint can bring it back to life.
If your home has had a recent uplift, you can paint your furniture to suit your current style.
However there are occasions when it may be wiser to restore your heirloom furniture. If your antique furniture still has yesteryear's superior design, craftsmanship, and materials, restore it.

FAQs about furniture painters
When finding the right tradesperson for your paint job, asking a few key questions is a good idea. Consider asking:
What types of furniture do you deal with?
What kinds of paint and techniques do you use?
Which colour would you recommend for the best finish?
How do you remove old paint and repair or prepare the surface?
Can you provide examples of your past work or references?
Are you insured?
How long might it take to paint my piece of furniture?
Do you provide pick-up and delivery services?
Can you provide a detailed quote, including materials and labour?
Do you offer any warranties or satisfaction guarantees?
Brush painting gives you more control and precision for greater detail. However, spray painting furniture gives faster application and smoother finish.
Although spray painting allows more efficient coverage, you'll need a spray gun and aerosol paint. Remember to paint outside for ventilation.
For smaller pieces of furniture, brush painting also allows for more precise control.
A furniture painter might use different paints depending on the condition and type of furniture. These can include:
Primer to prepare the wood and let the paint bind
Acrylic enamel or chalk high-quality paints
Spray paints for a highly smooth finish
Furniture sealant like polyurethane to ensure the paint job lasts (essential for high-use furniture)
Yes, you will usually need to sand down and prime before painting. This is especially true if your furniture has been previously painted.
Depending on the thickness of the paint, lightly sand down your furniture with fine sandpaper. This removes imperfections and roughens the wood, creating a 'key' that lets the paint grip the furniture.
Don't forget to vacuum and wipe down your furniture before painting.
