Classic white and black furniture paint
Bring an open, fresh feel to dark spaces with white furniture paint. From crisp brilliant whites to warm off-whites, creams, and stone greys, these neutral shades provide a clean Scandi or modern farmhouse look that pairs effortlessly with natural wood accents.
On the other hand, black furniture paint is great if you want your furniture to give off a more moody effect - it works really nicely on statement dressers and drawers, adding a bit of contrast to other colours in your space.
Bold blues and emerald greens
Go bold with your decorating and choose rich navy blues or deep forest greens. Darker tones add classic sophistication to mid-century sideboards, TV units, and bedroom dressers, especially when paired with brushed brass or gold handles. They also contrast nicely with neutral and earthy interior paint colour schemes.
Popular pastel tones
For a relaxed, heritage feel, opt for soft pastel hues. Sage green, duck egg blue, and dusty blush pinks are popular choices for nursery furniture, hallway console tables, and garden room displays. Perfect if you’re going for a cottagecore look.
Furniture Paint FAQs
Where is the best place to buy paint for furniture?
You can buy a wide choice of affordable, high-quality furniture paint online or in-store at The Range. We stock leading paint brands and specialised formulas, including chalk paint, satin finishes, adhesion primers, and upcycling accessories with fast home delivery or free Click & Collect.
Do I need to sand furniture before painting?
While many chalk paints stick to un-sanded surfaces, a quick 2 minute scuff-sand with fine-grade sandpaper removes surface gloss, grease, and wax, ensuring maximum paint adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.
How do I protect painted furniture from scratches and water marks?
If using chalk paint, seal the surface with a coat of clear furniture wax for a soft sheen, or apply a water-based polycrylic varnish to high-use surfaces like tabletop tops for maximum heat and scratch resistance.
