There are many reasons for a coat of brown wood colour. Perhaps the wood on your ceiling is too dark or a piece of furniture is too light in colour. Perhaps you have a brown-grey or a deep, dark, chocolatey tone in mind. Or you would like to protect exterior beams against weathering with brown wood varnish. Find out more here.

Start by selecting the colour shade of the brown wood paint. Because, as with all colours, brown is by no means brown. A light, soft tone such as Brown with Choc is just as much a part of it as the very dark Brown with Black. In MissPompadour's lacquer collections, you will find a wide range of brown varnishes from light brown to rich dark brown.
But it's not just about choosing the right colour shade. It also depends on which wood you want to paint. Is your workpiece going to be indoors or outdoors? Will it be subjected to excessive wear and tear like a table or kitchen furniture, or is it a piece of furniture or a ceiling that will not be exposed to much stress? At MissPompadour, we make it easy for you to decide on the right wood colour.
Brown wood colour is often used outdoors. This is because a beautiful brown wood colour blends unobtrusively into the natural surroundings. Paint the beams of a pergola, a garden fence or a garden shed with brown wood paint such as our Brown with Nougat. A coat of our Eggshell Varnish wood paint protects the wooden surfaces against the effects of the weather. This wood varnish in brown gives you surfaces with a subtle gloss level, also known as satin matt. The Eggshell Varnish wood varnish is also weatherproof, so your beautiful, rich brown colour will not fade. You can also beautify your garden furniture with brown wood colour. The Eggshell Varnish variant is available in more than 90 different colour shades in our Just paint Collection, including many interesting brown wood colours.
An even larger selection of wood varnishes is available for interior use. Of course, you can also use the extremely hard-wearing Eggshell Varnish quality indoors. There is also the Matt Varnish variant, which gives you completely matt, powdery-velvety surfaces. It is for furniture that is less exposed to wear indoors. The effect of the colour is extremely elegant. The Matt Varnish quality is also available in more than 90 different colour shades, including attractive brown tones. These colour shades are also perfectly coordinated with the MissPompadour non-woven wallpaper Collection and are also available as brown wall paints.
Indoors, you can also choose a brown wood paint from our naturally water-based chalk varnish collections. Painting with brown wood paint from the CosyColours chalk varnish collection gives you matt, slightly rustic-looking surfaces that are particularly suitable for an authentic vintage look or a classic country house style. Warm Grey, a shade of grey with a strong brown component, creates a particularly cosy atmosphere in combination with Smooth Beige, for example.
There is also a beautiful colour shade in the LittlePomp children's collection that you can combine well with brown tones: Beige & Warm. This colour is completely harmless to health and is also available as a wall paint. Chalk-based wood paints are only suitable for indoor use.
Incidentally, brown wood paints from MissPompadour can be used for more than just brown furniture paint on wood. Intact old paints can simply be painted over. Other materials such as stone, plastic and even glass can also be painted with wood colour. However, we recommend using our MissPompadour To Bond & Block Primer here. Otherwise, the paint will not adhere to a smooth surface. Raw, bleeding or stained wood should also be primed before painting.
Kitchen furniture or stairs can also be embellished with brown wood colour. All surfaces that are subject to heavy wear should be finished with MissPompadour To Seal.
Brown colour shades are an integral part of a sophisticated country house style. Use dark brown as an accent colour. Combine a brown tone such as Brown with Dark Chocolate with the rich dark red of Red with Merlot or with beige and, above all, with many shades of green. Basically, all colour shades found in nature harmonise with brown.
Do you love the sea and want to bring a little maritime atmosphere into your home? All shades of brown that lean towards sand can be combined wonderfully with fresh shades of blue. A soft or strong turquoise colour also brings freshness to brown tones. How about brown with nougat together with green with turquoise? You can bring a holiday atmosphere into your home.
Paint your window frames inside and out with brown wood paint and give your house façade a whole new look. The front door or garage door will also benefit from a new coat of brown wood varnish. It doesn't matter if your window frames are made of plastic. The MissPompadour quality Eggshell Varnish is just as suitable for this substrate. The only important thing is a primer coat with MissPompadour To Bond & Block.
The very first thing you should do is order colour-cards. If you have any questions about colour selection or technical issues such as opacity on dark colour shades, please contact our friendly customer service team. If you then order your wood paint, order your tools such as brushes, roller and paint tray online at the same time. This will save you additional shipping costs and a trip to the DIY store.
