Furniture paint to revive your indoor & outdoor spaces
19/03/2025
Is your indoor and outdoor furniture looking a little worn out? A fresh coat of furniture paint or a protective wood stain can completely transform your living spaces. Whether you’re revamping your fence, updating a brick wall, or refreshing an old timber table, the right wood paint makes all the difference.
With Wattyl’s premium range of furniture paints, stains, and varnishes, you can give your home a fresh new look, inside and out. Let’s explore the best ways to revive furniture and outdoor surfaces with high-quality paints and finishes.
Revive your furniture with paint & stain
Outdoor furniture refresh
Outdoor furniture faces harsh weather, UV rays, and moisture, causing it to fade, crack, or deteriorate. Instead of replacing worn-out tables and chairs, repainting or staining them is an affordable and effective solution.
Painting outdoor furniture
A fresh coat of furniture paint can instantly transform old outdoor furniture.
Try Wattyl Sunscreen Exterior Low Sheen – a durable exterior paint that provides UV protection, resistance to peeling and blistering, and mould resistance. It’s suitable for timber, fibrous cement, galvanised iron sheets, cement render, and masonry.
Staining & varnishing outdoor furniture
If you prefer a natural wood finish, staining or varnishing is the way to go.
- For a subdued gloss finish: Wattyl Forestwood Deck & Furniture Oil enhances and protects timber decks and garden furniture.
- For extra durability: Wattyl Forestwood Stain & Varnish delivers a satin finish while sealing and protecting timber from the elements.
Indoor furniture makeover
Indoor furniture also benefits from a fresh coat of paint—whether you’re modernising a dresser, upcycling an old coffee table, or adding contrast to bookshelves.
Choosing the right paint
For a hard-wearing, smooth finish that resists yellowing, choose a premium furniture paint.
Try Wattyl Trim Interior & Exterior – a fast-drying, low-odour paint that is easy to clean with water. Perfect for furniture, trims, and skirting boards.
Prepping your furniture for painting
Before painting, always prep your furniture for the best results.
Use Wattyl Easy Prep Interior & Exterior – a multi-purpose preparation product that improves adhesion, durability, and coverage, ensuring a professional finish.
Refresh your outdoor spaces with paint & stain
Fence paint & timber surface staining
Your fences, decks, and timber structures are some of the most exposed elements of your home. Keeping them well-maintained with stain or paint is essential to prevent weather damage, rotting, and fading.
Fence paint
A fresh coat of fence paint improves aesthetics and longevity.
Try Wattyl Forestwood – a range of durable, weather-resistant wood coatings designed to protect outdoor timber surfaces, including fences, decks, and pergolas, from harsh environmental conditions.
Deck & timber staining
For a natural timber look, staining enhances and protects your outdoor wood.
Try Wattyl Forestwood Deck & Timber Stain – a low-odour, water-based stain that dries quickly and provides long-lasting colour.
House painting: Exterior walls & trim
If your home’s exterior looks dull or outdated, a fresh coat of paint can enhance curb appeal and increase protection against harsh weather conditions.
Window trims & doors
Over time, exterior trims and doors fade or chip, making your home look neglected.
Try Wattyl Sunscreen Exterior Low Sheen – a UV-resistant, weatherproof paint designed to keep trims and doors looking vibrant.
Brick paint for masonry walls
If your brick walls or fences look outdated, a fresh coat of brick paint can transform them completely.
Try Wattyl Solagard Matt – a high-performance masonry paint that provides strong adhesion and long-lasting results on brick, masonry, and fibre cement surfaces.
