Painting a Wooden Cabinet
Painting wooden furniture doesn't have to be difficult. To start painting a cabinet, you need to get an oil-based paint. Osmo Decorwas Creativ is perfectly suited for giving your wooden cabinet a makeover. This product protects the wood against moisture and stains. Go for a new color such as blue, red, yellow, or green, or choose a more neutral color like beige and white. Which color you choose depends on your personal taste and what suits your interior. Before you start painting the cabinet, you need to sand the surface. Do this with grit 40, 80, and 120, in this order.

Painting an indoor wooden table? Osmo Decorwas Creativ works perfectly. Has your wooden table been oiled before? That is not a problem, but make sure to do a test first before you start. Lacquered wood cannot be treated with decor wax. Lacquer seals the wood, preventing the product from adhering to your wooden table. To ensure the decor wax adheres, you can sand the lacquered table and then apply the product. Go for a new wood shade or choose a cheerful color for a completely different look.

Do you have a light-colored wooden table but want to paint it black? A black table gives your living room a whole new look. Black tables provide a modern appearance and dirt is less visible. Thanks to Hardwax Oil Original, the new black paint layer adheres well and offers protection. The table is protected against dirt, scratches, and moisture stains. So you no longer need to use coasters, which is ideal. Just make sure to sand the table before you start painting.

One of the ten colors is white paint for your wooden furniture. White gives a clean and modern look, perfect if you are looking for a whole new appearance. For example, paint your kitchen cabinets, TV cabinet, wardrobe, sideboard, coffee table, or dining table in a beautiful white color. However, it is advisable to sand the surface beforehand because it involves a light color. If the wood is naturally very dark, the white paint might not adhere in one go. Therefore, apply multiple coats of paint for the best result.

Are you planning to paint untreated wood? Then you do not necessarily need to sand the wooden furniture. After all, lacquered wood can only be painted after sanding. With untreated wood, the possibilities are endless; choose a color you like and start painting. It is best to apply the paint along the grain, for example on a table. However, make sure the surface is clean and dry before you begin. Sanding and painting untreated wooden furniture is also an option; in this case, sand it very lightly. Apply Decorwas Creativ for an opaque effect or Hardwaxolie Farbig for a transparent colored effect.

Painting oiled wood

It is better not to paint oiled wooden furniture immediately. Just as with painting lacquered wood, you must sand the surface beforehand. The oil must be thoroughly removed so that the paint can be applied. Apply multiple coats of Osmo Decorwas Creativ; once it has completely dried, you can optionally apply Osmo Hardwaxolie.
