You do not have to redecorate an entire room to have a new look. Changing furniture will make a big difference in the overall design. Transform furniture by painting it a bold color to give the room a new look. Select large pieces of furniture such as a dining room set for a more dramatic change. A bright color like green will make a big statement and give the room an urban, modern feeling.
Instructions
1. Prepare the area for painting by laying down drop cloths and newspapers to protect the floor.
2. Use a coarse sandpaper to sand the dining room tables and chairs. Remove any existing paint or stain. Wipe down the furniture with a damp rag after sanding. Let dry.
3. Paint primer onto the dining set in the direction of the wood grain. Make sure excess paint does not pool or drip from the furniture.
4. Let the paint dry for 48 hours to a week before painting with the colored paint. If there are any areas where the paint has pooled or dried paint drips, sand those areas down.
5. Brush the green paint onto all the furniture, painting in the direction of the wood grain. Let dry for 48 hours. Use a fine grade sandpaper to sand away any brush strokes. Wipe down the furniture with a damp cloth. Repeat for second coat of paint.
6. Use a small paint brush to touch up any areas of the furniture that are missing paint such as joints in the furniture.
