Paint furniture pink with furniture paint: Ideas & tips

Sustainable and individual upcycling with pink furniture paint

Upcycling furniture is an important thing in this day and age, when we have to pay more attention to conserving our resources. Not everything has to be bought new. On the contrary: old furniture is often much better and more carefully crafted than modern industrial goods. Or they impress with their original shape. Finishing old furniture with pink furniture paint gives it a completely new look and turns it into individual and unique pieces that only exist once - in your home.

If you choose a pink colour shade to finish your workpiece, you will give it a fresh, interesting finish. Depending on the nature of the shade of pink you choose, you can create a subtle or striking piece of furniture. The delicate Harmony Rose from the CosyColours Collection, for example, is more atmosphere than colour. Pink furniture paint in a colour shade such as MissPompadour Pink with Peony, on the other hand, is a real eye-catcher that immediately draws everyone's attention.

Pink colour for furniture: these varnishes are suitable

At MissPompadour, you will find different types of furniture paint, all of which are suitable for giving furniture a pink finish. In addition to wood, all of these pink varnishes are also suitable for other surfaces such as metal, plastic or stone; there are differences in the durability or surface finish of the various varnish qualities.

Eggshell varnish: Ideal varnish for heavily used surfaces

The Eggshell Varnish paint quality from our Just paint Collection is particularly hard-wearing. With it, you can achieve a silky matt surface on all furniture that not only withstands pressure, impact and scratches, but also impresses with its weather resistance. You can use Eggshell Varnish not only on garden furniture, but also on all other furniture that is exposed to heavy loads. Chairs, tables and benches, as well as kitchen furniture made from a wide variety of materials, are ideally served with this lacquer quality.

Matt varnish: matt varnish for elegant surfaces

The MissPompadour Matt Varnish furniture lacquer creates a powdery, velvety and completely matt surface that looks very elegant. With pink colour shades in particular, you can achieve a particularly soft and high-quality result on matt surfaces. It is also available in all colour shades in the Just paint Collection.

The pink shades of Matt Varnish and Eggshell Varnish are also available as identical pink wall paints in 2 qualities, which makes interesting tone-in-tone solutions possible. They are also perfectly matched to the MissPompadour non-woven wallpapers, so that pink-painted pieces of furniture find their place against an ideal background.

Paint furniture in the colour pink with chalk paint

You can also find beautiful furniture paint in pink among the chalk paint shades from MissPompadour. In the CosyColours chalk paint collection, chalk components gently cover the surface of your furniture. The surface appears matt and slightly rustic. The soft CosyColours pink shades, such as Cuddly Rose, impress with their elegant and warm appearance.

The child-friendly colours in the LittlePomp chalk-paint collection are also based on chalk. 2 beautiful rose colours are available. The pink shades of LittlePomp chalk paints are not only available as furniture paints, but also as wall paints.

Using pink furniture paint correctly

It is easy to finish furniture with pink furniture paint. If you follow a few tips, you will get a perfect result. Firstly, it is important to clean the workpiece carefully. All dust and dirt must be carefully removed. It is best to use the mild but extremely effective MissPompadour To Cleaner. If your piece of furniture has been waxed in the past, sand it down. If it is only varnished, you do not need to sand it before painting. Intact old paintwork can simply be painted over. However, if the old varnish is peeling off, you will need to sand these areas.

If you want to paint raw, highly absorbent wood, you should prime it. The primer closes the pores and saves you varnish. Our To Bond & Block primer should also provide an even base for the pink furniture lacquer on stained surfaces, such as those found on pine wood, or bleeding wood. This also applies to painting metal. The primer prepares the smooth metal surface perfectly for the paint and allows the colour to adhere better. A primer is also important if you want to paint furniture with a very smooth surface, such as plastic veneer, with pink furniture paint. If you prepare your paint coat with a primer, you can even paint a high-gloss surface. For all these cases, we recommend the MissPompadour To Bond & Block primer.

If you are working on furniture that is exposed to very heavy loads, such as a dining table or kitchen furniture with furniture paint pink, then you should stabilise your coat of paint with MissPompadour To Seal at the end. You can also finish chalk paints wonderfully with colourless Wax. This preserves the matt finish of the surfaces as far as possible.

Vintage pink accents on kitchen furniture

Do you have the courage to use colour? Then go for your own style! Why not paint your kitchen furniture with pink furniture paint? Perhaps choose a shade of pink with lots of grey or brown, such as Pink with Grey, for your pink furniture paint. Pink also appeals to men. Combine it with a dark grey or a soft black tone such as Black with Slate and your kitchen will have a classic 50s look.

Pink furniture in the children's room

Soft shades of pink are popular in girls' bedrooms. The warm Rose & Unique chalk varnish from LittlePomp bathes a baby or children's room in a friendly light. And the delicate Rose & Fearless works less as a colour, but only creates a soft, cheerful light in the room. Paint the wood of a cradle, a cot or a wardrobe with chalk paint in these beautiful shades of pink. You can do this with a clear conscience, by the way, because the chalk paint is water-based, VOC-free and completely harmless to health, just like all our varnishes, so that even pregnant women can work with them.

Order furniture paint in pink from MissPompadour

In the large colour scheme of our varnishes in the Just paint Collection, you will find interesting shades of pink such as the warm Rose with Marshmallow or the light, delicate Rose with Warmth. With its grey tones, Rose with Cherry Blossom is a very "awakened pink". Rose with Peach Blossom has a fresh and friendly effect, while Rose with Brown is a rich, vibrant dusky pink.

The pink furniture paints in the CosyColours Collection include the elegant Poudre Red, a warm chalk paint with earthy tones. There is also a very "awakened pink" here: the elegant, grey Tender Rose. The two shades of pink in the LittlePomp chalk varnishes are not only suitable for children's rooms, but will enchant any room.

It's best to order the colour-cards. The colour cards of the MissPompadour varnishes are postcard-sized, can be removed individually and can therefore be compared in any light. The colour cards for the LittlePomp chalk paints are hand-painted so that you can also feel the feel of the chalk paint. You will find hand-painted colour samples on the colour cards for CosyColours. If you order your furniture paint for painting, order the products you need to work with, such as brushes, paint trays and paint rollers, at the same time. This saves you shipping costs. Our customisable furniture painting shopping guide gives you an overview of the products you need.
