Re-decorating furniture
Answered Monday 7 November 2011 |Share:

Hi Shaynna,
I need help in my lounge room - living in a farmhouse with darker stained doors and lighter wooden floors. My TV cabinet and buffett are very tired - typical stained wood furniture. Was thinking of painting them white but unsure if contrast would be too stark. Walls are light in colour with one Dining area wall a very dark blue.
Answer
Hi Karen, as you possibly have a yellow/blonde on the floors and a redder colour on the doors? It would be best to try and do a stone colour like Taubmans Showroom, Badlands or Grey Goose. Get some sample pots and see how it reacts to the blue and you may have to go half strength
