Is there still a place for painted furniture? Upcycling furniture has been trending for a few years now. It seems that the latest trend is raw wood pieces - so is there still a place in trendy homes for painted furniture?
I certainly think so - while raw wood furniture is becoming increasingly popular, painted furniture can still be a staple in the home - and there's still a very high demand for painted furniture in modern and trendy homes. Let's explore.
Preferences: painted furniture allows for endless possibilities when it comes to color, finish, and style. You can choose to add a pop of color, create a focal point, or complement the existing décor in a room. Painted furniture is so versatile, you can buy and customise pieces that fit into a variety of design styles, such as vintage, shabby chic, and modern.
Personalising: painted furniture allows you to personalise your living space. Whether you're choosing a bold and vibrant colour, a soft pastel shade, or a classic neutral, you can express your own personality, suiting your personal tastes, through your painted pieces.
Revitalisation: upcycling first began with painting old and tired furniture to give it a new lease of life. It allows you to transform outdated or mismatched furniture into revitalised and complementary pieces that suit spaces perfectly. For those interested in sustainability and repurposing items, painting used furniture and breathing new life into used pieces, is a perfect method for updating your home.
Statement pieces: in a neutral and earthy room featuring whites, greys and beiges, a statement piece can complete the space flawlessly. They can add visual interest, create contrast, or become a conversation starter. By strategically placing painted furniture, you can create focal points or draw attention to specific areas of your living space.
Flexibility and adaptability: as trends shift, keeping your home modern and trendy can be as simple (and cost-effective) as repainting your furniture. If you want the option of refreshing your interior décor periodically (isn't it always nice to have a change?), painting furniture really is a simple solution.
While raw wood furniture has gained popularity recently, painted furniture has its own appeal. As trends come and go, painted furniture allows for customisation, personalisation, and uniqueness, making it a valuable option for homes wanting to find a balance between timelessness, trendiness, and individuality.
