Whether you want to paint, repaint, or simply add a touch of color to your wooden furniture, the Algo team will guide you through the techniques, color choices, and tips for a successful makeover project!

Prepare your furniture well to better revamp and renovate it

Before embarking on renovating your furniture, it's essential to properly prepare the surface for successful painting. This step includes carefully sanding the surface to ensure optimal paint adhesion. Varnished wood furniture sometimes requires a little more effort to remove the existing varnish. If this is the case, you'll first need to clean the furniture to remove any impurities with a slightly damp cloth.

Finally, it is recommended to sand your furniture with sandpaper to allow the paint to adhere better to the surface.

From the neutrality of white to the boldness of black for a successful makeover

Color plays a vital role in your home decor, and the same goes for your furniture. Whether you're looking for a clean, bright white paint job or opting for bold shades of blue for a creative touch, explore the current color trends for wood furniture. Typically, manufacturers have a fairly limited color range, which can limit your choice. Algo has chosen to offer a wider selection with no fewer than 100 different colors! Check out our color options to find the perfect shade to match your style.

Dark shades are also very popular: among our most used dark shades we can recommend Piana black or even summer black sky, a clever mix of black and blue bringing sobriety and presence.

Our tips for applying paint to wooden furniture

Applying paint to your wooden furniture requires special attention.

First, we recommend choosing a quality brush that's appropriate for the size of the surface you're painting. Of course, make sure your brush is clean and in good condition before you begin to avoid any problems with paint application.

It is also quite possible to apply the paint with a rabbit's foot depending on the size of the furniture.

When it comes to application, it is advisable to avoid applying a thick coat of paint in one go, as this can cause drips and, more importantly, unevenness. Instead, it is recommended to apply two thin coats of paint, waiting for each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Touch dry time is 30 minutes, but it is recommended to wait 24 hours for complete drying.

This method provides a consistent, streak-free finish.

Consider varnish to enhance your wooden furniture and give it a lacquered effect.

The paint on your furniture is dry, but the work isn't finished yet!

It's time to think about finishing, and applying the varnish.

Varnishing is essential to protect your wooden furniture and give it a beautiful appearance.

Choose an eco-friendly varnish to protect and give a beautiful finish to your wooden furniture.

Algo has thought of you and offers a solvent-free varnish made from natural ingredients.

What is the best brand of paint for painting or repainting wooden furniture?

When painting your wooden furniture, it's important to choose a natural, environmentally friendly paint, such as Algo paints. Also, don't forget the importance of varnish for optimal results.

How to paint or repaint wooden furniture?

Painting a piece of wooden furniture can be broken down into several stages: preparation (cleaning or sanding if the furniture is already varnished), painting with the application of two thin layers of furniture paint and finally protection by applying a matte or glossy finish varnish.

If you choose to use Algo paint for your painting work, then you will not need to apply an undercoat.

How many liters do I need to repaint a piece of furniture?

The amount of paint needed to repaint a piece of furniture depends mainly on the brand of paint chosen and the type of furniture to be painted.

Algo recommends using 1 litre of furniture paint per 10m2 per coat of paint applied depending on the high covering power of the paint.
