Blue wood colour: a classic

Discover blue wood varnish at MissPompadour

You can finish furniture, window frames, doors and garage doors with wood varnish in the colour blue. MissPompadour offers a large selection of blue wood paint in different qualities

In the two paint qualities Eggshell Varnish and Matt Varnish from the Just paint Collection, you will find the colour Blue with Snow as the lightest shade of blue. It is almost white and is particularly suitable as a complement to strong blue tones and many wallpapers in which blue is the predominant colour. The colour Blue with Cloud is also very delicate and has an almost contemplative effect thanks to the addition of grey pigments

The subtle, calming colour shades Blue with Grey and Blue with Fog are somewhat more intense. They are a skilful blend of the colours blue and grey. Grey with Blue reverses the proportions: This shade is grey with a shimmer of blue.

However, it can also be more intense: Blue with Jeans is a strong shade of blue with some green pigment mixed in. The colour Dark Blue with Green is stronger, greener and therefore almost a petrol tone. Even darker is the rich Blue with Night. And if you like it really dark, opt for Blue with Midnight

The almost black colours Blue with Ink and Blue with Black are real near-black shades. The exciting Blue with Violet is a wonderfully bright and warm colour.

But there are also beautiful blue colours in the CosyColours chalk paints collection from MissPompadour: The delicate, light Dawn Blue, the warm Twilight Blue and the strong Cloudy Blue are all colours with soft grey tones that give these matt chalk paints their sophisticated touch. The dark, rich blue tone of Stormy Sky Blue rounds off the range of blue shades in the CosyColours

And last but not least, the LittlePomp chalk paints collection also includes wood colour in 2 beautiful light shades of blue: the delicate Blue & Calm and the more intense Blue & Noble. Both are colours that are not only great for children's rooms

Elegant exterior wood colour: Blue in Eggshell Varnish quality

We recommend the Eggshell Varnish colour for all exterior paintwork, as it has weather-resistant properties.

A great effect can often be achieved with blue wood varnish, especially outdoors. How elegant a white façade looks when the front door and shutters are painted with wood paint in a dark shade of blue such as Blue with Midnight! If you use a mid-blue colour such as Blue with Jeans, you can add interest to a brick façade. You see this colour scheme everywhere on the coast. And why not paint the garden shed in a cheerful, light shade of blue? Then complement the blue with white window frames and a white door. You can also beautify a wooden fence in the garden with a coat of light blue wood paint

Blue wood varnish for freshness indoors

If you like a maritime interior, why not paint the door frames and doors inside the house in a beautiful shade of blue? Complement the blue wood varnish with Beige with Sand or an attractive wallpaper. In addition to Eggshell Varnish, you can also use the matt colour variant Matt Varnish. If you want to paint a piece of furniture in a truly exclusive wood colour, use the chalk paints from the CosyColours Collection. You can be sure of an exceptionally elegant effect thanks to their chalky matt surface with great colour depth. What's more, they don't give off any odour during application and drying.

Ideas for the use of blue wood colour

Ultimately, you can paint any wooden surface blue. And so there are countless areas of application for blue wood colour. Be it furniture or a kitchen, a staircase, a garage door, shutters, a cot, unsightly wooden toys or the garden shed and garden fences. Whether indoors or outdoors, there are no limits to your imagination when using blue wood varnish. Just make sure you choose the right paint quality

Blue wood paint for stairs & wall panelling

If you want to embellish a wooden staircase with blue paint, we recommend using the Eggshell Varnish variant. You can achieve a particularly great effect by painting the risers in a light shade of blue and the treads and handrail in a darker colour. Start by priming the substrate with MissPompadour To Bond & Block and then paint 2 coats of blue wood varnish. Finally, don't forget to stabilise the steps and handrail with MissPompadour To Seal. The topcoat will give them additional protection

Wall panelling can also be given a new shine in blue. If the panelling runs horizontally in the room at half height, you should always choose the colour shade of the wood darker than the colour shade of the wall above it

Windows & doors in elegant blue

Why not paint window frames and doors with varnish in a beautiful shade of blue? If you do the same with the window frames on the outside and the front door, you'll give your home a really maritime look. However, you can also limit the blue wood colour to the inner surfaces of the doors and window frames

• When do I need to prime or seal blue wood colour?
  If you are using very light colours on stained types of wood with lots of knotholes, a primer is recommended. This also applies if your wooden surfaces are untreated , as they will absorb a lot of the wood paint. If you are painting on old varnish or another very smooth surface, you should also prime it so that the paint adheres well. Use MissPompadour To Bond & Block for priming. All wooden surfaces that are likely to be subjected to a lot of wear and tear should be stabilised with MissPompadour To Seal at the end
