Green wood colour: a classic, not just for outdoors

Green wood varnish in many variations: Selection at MissPompadour

At MissPompadour, you will find different qualities of varnish, which differ mainly in terms of their durability and the surface they create. What all qualities have in common is that they are splash-free and odourless. They provide excellent coverage, are suitable for a wide range of surfaces and are used for a variety of projects. Do you want to paint a wooden chest of drawers in the living room or a wardrobe in the bedroom? Do you want to paint the furniture in the kitchen, which is used daily with cleaning products? Or do you want to apply green wood paint to a fence or garden shed that is exposed to wind and weather? Do you want to use green wood paint in a baby's room or on a staircase that gets a lot of traffic? At MissPompadour, you can actually find the right varnish in green for all surfaces.

Interior wood colour: Green varnish from matt to semi-gloss

The Eggshell Varnish is the first choice whenever you want to paint interior items that are subject to heavy wear and tear. By painting with it, you can achieve a smooth, pleasant-touch surface that can withstand pressure, impact and scratches and is also easy to maintain. The painted surfaces have a semi-gloss finish, which means they have a very low gloss level. This wood varnish is the right choice for kitchen furniture, stairs, benches, chairs and tables.

If you want to varnish something that is not exposed to such high loads and want to achieve a completely matt surface, then the Matt Varnish quality is perfect for you. With it, you can achieve surfaces that look powdery and velvety and have a particularly elegant, sophisticated appearance.

You can also use green wood varnish from our chalk paints collections. In the CosyColours chalk paints you will find beautiful soft shades of green and in the LittlePomp children's collection there are also friendly, green chalk varnishes that not only inspire children.

Exterior wood colour: green in classic to modern, bright shades

Exterior surfaces can also be finished with green wood colour. The weatherproof wood paint quality Eggshell Varnish is recommended here. Eggshell Varnish is suitable for wooden surfaces, but also works very well on stone, metal and plastic surfaces. The low-odour green wood paint is very easy to use. It is easy to spread, does not spill or splatter and dries quickly. You can apply your desired green wood paint with brushes and paint rollers or with a paint sprayer.

Areas of application for green wood paint

As MissPompadour Paints are low-odour, you can use green wood paint on practically anything made of wood indoors. You can beautify all types of furniture, pianos, stairs, wooden ceilings and panelling, window frames and, of course, doors with a green coat of paint. You can find out more in our blog on painting wooden furniture. A coat of green furniture paint can also really transform kitchen furniture. Even a floor can be painted green. However, you should stabilise your coat of paint with MissPompadour To Seal.

And outside, you can use green wood paint on the front door, garage door, shutters and wooden window frames. A garden fence or garden shed also blend in beautifully with nature when painted green. How about using green wood paint to decorate the garden furniture or the beams of the pergola? There really are no limits to your creativity.

Tip: You should prime raw or bleeding wood before painting to create an even surface without discolouration. Very smooth surfaces also benefit from a primer. Use MissPompadour To Bond & Block for this. You can simply paint over old, undamaged varnish. If the varnish flakes off, you will need to sand.

Painting doors and windows with green wood varnish

If you want to give your front door a new look, paint it green with wood varnish. On the outside, you should always work with our weather-resistant Eggshell Varnish wood varnish. Applying this varnish to exterior doors protects the wood of your door from the weather. Please note that even Eggshell Varnish does not tolerate standing water. Your green coating will have a silky matt sheen and give your door a sophisticated look.

Of course, this also applies to window frames. Window frames painted with Green with Moss wood varnish go particularly well with yellow façades. If you have shutters on your windows, you can emphasise the nostalgic look of your house with a coat of green wood paint such as Green with Forest. If your window frames are made of plastic, simply treat them with the same green wood paint. This is because it is not only suitable for painting wood, but also other surfaces. However, you should always work with a primer so that the colour adheres to the smooth surface. Use MissPompadour To Bond & Block for this.

Green wood colour as an accent on stairs or wall panelling

The steps of a wooden staircase can be beautifully transformed with green wood colour. For a staircase with treads and risers, work with 2 different colours. For example, use the Nearly Black wood colour Green with Black for the treads and banisters and a lighter shade of green such as Green with Grey for the risers. Stairs should also be sealed at the end.

Garden fence to wooden garden shed: using the colour green outdoors

A garden fence is always exposed to wind and weather. That's why the wood needs special protection. This not only applies to garden furniture, but also if you want to paint a garden shed or treat the wood panelling of a patio with green wood paint. As the colour is strongly absorbed on surfaces such as raw, sawn wood, it makes sense to prepare with a primer. This saves a lot of wood paint. It also covers irregularities and stains in the wood, increasing the opacity of the wood paint.

If you paint with green wood paint, for example, the garden fence will blend in unobtrusively with nature. A camouflage colour such as Green with Mud is particularly suitable for this. But perhaps you'd rather go for a radiant aqua shade like Green with Lagoon on garden furniture? You're sure to find the right shade in MissPompadour's wide range of green wood paint!
