How To Paint A Kitchen Table

3/4/2020

Kitchen tables get battered over time. Regardless if you have children digging their forks into the table or eating dinner every day with plates scraping the top, the table gets abused. Learning how to paint a kitchen table easily turns it into a beautiful new piece. It is cheaper than buying a new kitchen table, and you can make it exactly how you want it.

Choosing a Color for Your Kitchen Table
If you're not sure about which color to paint your table, do some research online or speak with a home painting expert. A white kitchen table looks lovely in a kitchen, though a table painted in a bold color makes a statement. Decide on the ambiance you're seeking in your kitchen. Then, pick a color that helps you get that look. Some colors to consider are navy blue, yellow, red, and turquoise.

Time to Paint Your Kitchen Table
Before you start painting, you need to sand the surface of the table. Sanding creates a smooth exterior for the paint. An orbital sander comes in handy here, smoothing the surface quickly.

After sanding, apply primer to the table. If you're repainting a very outdated table, you need a primer that covers wood stains. For more protection, put on two coats of primer. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours. Afterward, use a medium grit sanding paper to even any rough patches. Use a spray-on primer for hard-to-reach spots.

When you're ready to paint, be sure to use top-grade, water-based enamel paint. This type of paint provides a hard finish, that's just like oil paint.

All kitchen tables take a beating. So, you'll need a paint that can deal with objects banging on it all the time. Paint on a couple of coats, making sure each one dries before applying the next one.

Once the painting is complete, put on a coat of furniture wax or water-based polyurethane to protect your table. Last but not least, take pleasure in all your hard work and enjoy your enhanced piece of kitchen furniture.

If you're searching for new ways to redecorate your eating area, but don't have a lot of money to spend, look at what you can accomplish with what you have. Painting your kitchen table is the perfect way to update your look. The best part is that this DIY project takes less than a week.
