Paint furniture with yellow furniture paint: Ideas & tips

Sustainable and individual upcycling with yellow furniture paint

Giving furniture a completely new look with furniture paint instead of disposing of it and buying something new instead is always environmentally friendly and sustainable. Old furniture often has a much better finish than new furniture from industrial production. But in pretty much every household, there are also pieces of furniture that are not so old, for example from Ikea, tens of thousands of which can be found looking the same all over the world. By painting them in fresh, interesting colours - such as yellow colour shades - you can turn them into your own individual pieces of furniture that don't exist twice.

Paint furniture in shades of yellow: These varnishes are suitable

At MissPompadour, you can choose between different paint qualities in shades of yellow. Depending on the surface and area of application for which you are looking for your yellow furniture colour, you can choose between 3 varnish variants that are available in different shades of yellow.

Eggshell Varnish: Ideal varnish for surfaces subject to heavy use

The MissPompadour Eggshell Varnish furniture paint from the Just paint collection is a real all-rounder. It is available in over 90 different colours, including interesting shades of yellow. Eggshell Varnish gives you a silky matt surface that is resistant to pressure, impact and scratches. The smooth surfaces are also easy to clean and pleasant to the touch. This lacquer quality is also weatherproof. So you can paint your garden furniture yellow with this furniture varnish.

Matt varnish: matt varnish for a vintage look

If you want to achieve a particularly elegant effect, use the yellow furniture lacquer in the Matt Varnish quality. You can use it to achieve powdery, velvety surfaces that are completely matt and fit particularly well into an elegant living atmosphere. Matt Varnish also has the right properties for interiors with a vintage look or retro-style furnishings. This lacquer quality is reminiscent of the old days when varnishes without gloss were still used. You should only use Matt Varnish yellow as an interior furniture varnish. By the way, interior painting is no problem with MissPompadour, as the varnishes are practically odourless.

Incidentally, all of the more than 90 colour shades of the Eggshell Varnish and Matt Varnish varnishes are not only available as yellow furniture varnishes, but also as identical yellow wall paints. This allows you to achieve interesting tone-on-tone effects. The Just paint collection is also perfectly coordinated with the MissPompadour non-woven wallpapers.

Chalk paint: paint furniture in yellow

The chalk paints from MissPompadour also include a beautiful yellow furniture paint for indoor use. It is the LittlePomp colour Yellow & Creative. Although the colour is included in MissPompadour Paint's children's collection, it is suitable for much more than just children's room furniture and toys. Yellow & Creative is also a popular choice for adults looking for a yellow furniture paint, as the soft but strong colour shade conjures up a warm atmosphere in the room. Yellow & Creative is also available as wall paint in chalk quality.

Using yellow furniture paint correctly

Painting furniture with yellow furniture paint is very easy if you take a few things to heart. Firstly, it is important to clean the furniture well before painting. All dirt and dust must be removed thoroughly. The best way to do this is to use the mild but very effective MissPompadour To Clean. If your piece of furniture has been treated with wax in the past, sand the areas carefully. Old varnishes can be painted over, provided they are undamaged. If an old varnish flakes off the wood, it must be sanded off.

With some substrates, it makes sense to apply a primer first. Pine wood, for example, often shows strong knothole stains. Other wood is raw and highly absorbent. Some woods also tend to bleed after many years when painted. In these cases, work with the MissPompadour To Bond & Block primer to create an even base for the furniture paint. Smooth surfaces on metal or plastic furniture should also be primed with To Bond & Block so that the yellow furniture paint can adhere better to the smooth surface.

If you are painting a piece of furniture that is subject to heavy use, such as a table or chair, we recommend protecting the yellow furniture paint with an additional layer of MissPompadour To Seal. This topcoat makes your finish even harder and more impact and scratch resistant. If you want to create a classic vintage look, you can also finish off your furniture with our wood wax.

Yellow furniture varnish for vibrant freshness on kitchen furniture

Want to make your kitchen really shine? Then give it an all-round makeover with the Yellow with Sun furniture varnish . Use the Eggshell Varnish furniture colour for the surfaces of your kitchen. You should also stabilise particularly hard-wearing surfaces. Simply paint a thin layer of MissPompadour To Seal over the yellow furniture paint.

Yellow furniture paint as a highlight in industrial chic

If you have an industrial-style interior, you can liven up your colour scheme, which tends to be somewhere between white, grey and black, with 1 or 2 yellow accents. Use yellow on a piece of furniture. Varnish mustard yellow such as Yellow with Saffron is particularly suitable for this, as this subtle shade of colour underlines your industrial ambience particularly well.

Good mood in the children's room with mustard yellow to lemon yellow furniture paint

Yellow furniture paint is a good compromise - it suits both boys and girls and creates brightness and a good mood in the room. At MissPompadour you will find a special chalk-based children's room furniture paint. Like all MissPompadour products, the LittlePomp chalk collection is so harmless to health that even pregnant women can use it. This yellow furniture paint is also saliva-resistant, making it particularly suitable for children. Thanks to soft yellow tones such as the pastel yellow from LittlePomp Yellow & Creative, you can achieve a calm, warm result.

Order furniture paint in yellow from MissPompadour

MissPompadour offers a beautiful range of yellow shades. Let's start with two shades of yellow between white and yellow: the radiant White with Sun and the bright, fresh White with Ginger. You will find much more yellow in the warm Yellow with Sun and an intense yellow tone, almost a signal yellow, is Yellow with Lemon. The rich spicy shade Yellow with Saffron has slightly more orange and brown colour components and the soft Yellow & Creative from LittlePomp scores as a chalk paint.

It's best to order the MissPompadour colour cards. They are the size of a postcard and can be removed individually so that you can easily compare them in any lighting. Once you have made your selection, order the tools you need along with your yellow furniture paint. This saves you additional shipping costs and a trip to the DIY store. We make preparation easy for you - you'll find all the products you need listed in our customisable "Painting furniture" project kit.

Frequently asked questions & answers about yellow furniture paint

• How well does yellow varnish cover?
  Yellow paints generally cover less well. However, thanks to a primer such as MissPompadour To Bond & Block, yellow furniture paint also covers after the third coat at the latest. It is important to give the primer time to dry.
• Are yellow varnishes susceptible to staining?
  No, no more than other colours.
• Which wall paint goes well with yellow varnish?
  The result depends on the pigments contained in the yellow colour. Many shades of grey are generally suitable, but blue tones also harmonise with yellow.
