How to Paint Woodwork In and Around Your Home
When it comes to painting woodwork in your home, there are no strict rules dictating that you must use white or match it with the walls. You have the freedom to get creative! In rooms where the walls, window frames, and doors are a neutral shade, consider painting the skirting board with a contrasting color to clearly define the transition between the floor and walls. While bold trim colors can add flair to one room, subtler changes might suit other areas better.
Adding moldings can enhance plain walls by creating attractive panels. To achieve the best results, ensure you're working within the recommended temperature range for your paint. For stripped interior woodwork, from baseboards to dining tables, start with a standard acrylic wood primer. Once primed, you can apply oil-based eggshell, gloss, or acrylic paints.
Typically, an eggshell finish looks best on interior woodwork, as high-gloss paints can create a harsh appearance. If you plan to paint walls, ceilings, and trim, start with the trim, including windows and doors. Work in small sections and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks.
A variety of broken-color effects can look stunning on woodwork, but oil-based paints are preferred for their durability. Stains enhance wood by adding color while showcasing its natural grain, and varnishes provide a tough, clear finish. These are available in sheens ranging from satin to high gloss.
At the end of your project, consolidate any leftover paint of the same color into as few cans as possible for easy storage and future use. With these tips, you can transform your woodwork into a beautiful feature of your home.
