Vintage furniture restoration, an increasingly popular idea
If you want your house to have a quaint touch, renewing furniture you no longer like with an aged style is a great alternative.
Did you know that giving modern furniture an antique look is very fashionable right now? It's been one of the biggest trends in interior design for several years . While it's true that the technique of aging wood has been used by antique dealers for centuries, today it has taken on a new meaning.
However, not everyone has the tools to achieve this (both manual and conceptual). But that's what we at Deco and Lemon are here for.
How to paint vintage furniture from wood
If you're looking for ways to paint wooden furniture in a vintage style , you should know that this material is very durable, resistant, and versatile. Thanks to its natural origin, it has a great capacity for transformation.
We recommend starting with white acrylic or vinyl paint . Once you've painted the piece, wait about ten minutes before creating another layer in your chosen color. Shades of blue, light blue, and green create a better vintage effect . Again, allow 5-10 minutes between coats.
Finally, take a brush with gray paint and spread it evenly but sparsely over different areas of your restored vintage furniture.
Finally, use medium-grit sandpaper and rub all the nooks and crannies of the piece to achieve that antique effect. And don't forget to varnish it to protect the wood !
How to restore antique vintage-style furniture?
Applying a vintage style to antique furniture can be a somewhat complicated task. To avoid damaging the material, it's essential not to use corrosive products like sponges or ammonia .
In this regard, don't forget to use varnish either. You will probably need to repair the piece with a pore filler or putty before starting the restoration process.
Vintage colored furniture, which ones are the most popular?
Vintage gray furniture. This color is ideal for recycled retro furniture, as it is a serene, safe, and very elegant tone.
Vintage blue furniture. As we mentioned earlier, it's one of the best options for restoring vintage furniture. We especially recommend it for bathrooms, side tables, and/or countertops.
Vintage green furniture. This option not only reminds us of nature, but it's also a great brain stimulant. Therefore, it's recommended for workspaces, bedrooms, or offices.
Decorate with white vintage furniture. This color also works well with these pieces and is ideal for both light and dark woods. The result will be pieces that are bright and have a greater sense of purity.
