Nothing looks more unattractive than discolored wicker furniture. Luckily, painting wicker furniture is a great way to revive tired pieces with just a fresh coat of paint. Please keep reading to learn how to get it done.

The 411 on Painting Wicker Furniture
Durable and lightweight, a solid piece of wicker furniture can last for years with the proper care. To shield the wicker from the elements, don't forget to apply a fresh coat of paint every year.

Regardless if it's a touch-up or a total makeover, use these steps to prep and paint your wicker furniture with ease. Visit your local home painting store to buy all the necessary tools and paint for the job.

Prep Work for Your Wicker Furniture
With soapy water and a sponge, clean the wicker. Afterward, rinse the piece by hosing it down with plain water. Let the wicker air-dry.

Now it's time to prime. Use an oil-based spray primer and apply a few coats to deliver the best possible results. Be sure to wait for the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat. Primer dries fast, so doing the painting task the right way doesn't take all day long.

Time to Paint
Finally, it is paint time. The best paint to use for wicker is an outdoor and indoor home paint that's durable, flexible, and sticks to the furniture. Apply the second primer coat has dried, apply the paint in two thin layers, making sure the first one completely dries before applying the second one. You might find it easier to paint the back of the furniture first and the visible parts second.

Again, let the paint dry completely before putting on a second coat. Even though the paint might dry within only a couple of hours, give the wicker furniture a couple of days to cure before you start back to using it again.

You'll be surprised by the difference fresh paint makes on your wicker furniture. It makes your wicker look new and attractive. Repeat this wicker refresh work every few years, and your furniture will serve you incredibly for many seasons.
