  • A New Season Means an Autumn Furniture Makeover

When you need an autumn furniture makeover for your home, you can always consider a painted furniture look. That was certainly the brief for this small item of furniture. Is it a bedside table or perhaps a sitting room cabinet? With its size and height, it could easily be at home in either location. Perfect for a table or reading light, it's an ideal furniture item and well worth bringing up to date.

Get Ready for an Autumn Furniture Makeover

In this instance, it's a sitting room cabinet and the brief was very, very simple. Update it with a new coat of paint (Lamp room gray). That's a Farrow and Ball colour that we mixed into a Dulux diamond eggshell. We used to paint entirely with Farrow and Ball paints until they changed the recipe making it impractical.

We didn't replace the handles for this item but we often do so and it can really change the look and appearance of any piece of furniture.

Achieve Your Autumn Furniture Makeover this Year

  • Remove all the furniture handles and hinges
  • Remove doors and drawers
  • Sand the furniture with power sanders and by hand, and then apply masking tape
  • Use a primer coat of paint, and anti-knotting if needed
  • Give your furniture a coat of undercoat
  • Apply top coats, typically two or three coats at the most
  • Put everything back together again

Lamp room gray might not be your typical autumn colour but it's certainly an effective colour to change the look and feel of any modern sitting room today.

When you're looking to give your sitting room an autumn furniture makeover, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Because we can give your furniture that all-important Autumn makeover, no matter if it's a shade of red, orange or gray.
