Fitted wardrobes - what other furniture colour?
Comments (2)I like the combo of the two styles it adds interest. Everything white works too, but I think i prefer the oak with the white. Just comes down to personal preference really. Neither way is right or wrong....See MoreWhat colour to paint fitted wardrobes?
Comments (4)I like to paint the same colour as the walls, I think it makes the room seem larger and unified. I often paint the skirting, doors and Architraves the same as the wall colour too. Very restful and not at all bland. It gives a much better back drop for your accessory colours which should come from your blinds, curtains, bed covering, cushions, chair etc....See Morepainting fitted wardrobes
Comments (2)Hi there, I'm guessing the wardrobes are a melamine so the key is in the prep. First I would me remove handles and sugar soap wardrobe to remove any dirt or grease then wipe off with clean damp cloth then allow to dry (or buff with tea towel). If any part of the melamine is peeling or flaking then sand these areas, again wipe with damp cloth. The important part is the primer. There are a few products on the market now which allow you to paint on surfaces without sanding. My favorites are Zinsser bin 123 primer (use the water based one), ESP by Owatrol which is an etching primer and will provide a great grab for the following coat, and depending on the finish you want, chalk paint such as Annie Sloan which is good for the shabby chic look. Depends on the finish you want but for a nice semi sheen I would use an undercoat on top of the primer then 2/3 coats of either water based satin or eggshell paint. For the chalky finish you can just use 2/3 coats of chalk paint or more if needed and use wax for finish. You can even use standard emulsion after the undercoat then seal with varnish. Use a good quality paint brush for fiddly areas and use a mini gloss roller for the flat parts for a nice even finish. Also, several thin coats of paint are better than one big sloppy coat:) Hope this helps....See MoreFitted walk in wardrobe ... depth? waste/useful?
