Discover blue wood paint at MissPompadour
With wood paint in blue, you can paint furniture, as well as window frames, doors, and garage doors. MissPompadour offers a wide selection of blue wood paint in different qualities.
In the Easy Eggshell! paint quality, the lightest blue is Blue with Snow. It's almost white and works particularly well alongside bolder blues. Blue with Cloud is another delicate shade, and the added grey pigments give it an almost contemplative feel.
A little more intense are the understated, calming shades Blue with Grey and Blue with Fog. Both are a skilful blend of blue and grey. Grey with Blue flips the balance: this shade is grey with a shimmer of blue.
But you can go bolder, too: Blue with Jeans is a strong blue with a touch of green pigment. Stronger and greener still, almost a petrol shade, is Dark Blue with Green. Darker again is the rich Blue with Night. And if you like it really dark, go for Blue with Midnight.
True nearly-black shades are Blue with Ink and Blue with Black, both almost black. The exciting Blue with Violet is wonderfully luminous and warm.
The chalk paints from CosyColours and LittlePomp are currently only available in Germany and Austria. But the CosyColours chalk paint collection from MissPompadour also includes some beautiful blue shades: the soft, light Dawn Blue, the warm Twilight Blue, and the strong Cloudy Blue all have gentle grey undertones that give these matt chalk paints their elegant touch. The dark, rich blue of Stormy Sky Blue rounds off the range of blue shades in CosyColours.
In the LittlePomp chalk paint collection, you'll also find wood paint in 2 lovely light blue shades: the soft Blau & Gelassen and the more intense Blau & Edel. Both are shades that show off their great qualities well beyond the nursery.
Last but not least, our Balkon & Garten collection features the unique shades Sturmhimmel Blau and Regenflüstern Blau, which are ideal for your outdoor projects.
Elegant exterior wood paint: Easy Eggshell! in blue
For all exterior painting, we recommend our Balkon & Garten Lack. It was developed especially for your outdoor projects: weatherproof & UV-resistant. Easy Eggshell! can be used outdoors, too.
Outdoors in particular, blue wood paint often creates a stunning effect. How elegant a white façade looks when the front door and shutters are painted in a dark blue shade like Blue with Midnight! If you use a mid-blue like Blue with Jeans, you can give a brick façade real character. You'll see this colour combination all along the coast. And why not paint your garden shed in a cheerful, light blue? Then pair the blue with white window frames and a white door. You can also brighten up a wooden garden fence with a coat of light blue wood paint.
Blue wood paint for a fresh feel indoors
If you love a maritime look, why not paint the door frames and doors inside your home in a beautiful blue? Pair the blue wood paint with Beige with Sand or an attractive wallpaper. If you'd like to paint a piece of furniture with a truly exclusive wood paint, reach for the chalk paints from the CosyColours collection. Their chalky, matt finish with great depth of colour is sure to give an exceptionally elegant look.
Ideas for using blue wood paint
In the end, you can paint any wooden surface blue. That means there are countless ways to use blue wood paint. Think furniture or a kitchen, a staircase, a garage door, shutters, a child's bed, worn-looking wooden toys, or a garden shed and garden fences. Whether indoors or outdoors, there are no limits to your imagination when it comes to using wood paint in blue. Just make sure you choose the right paint quality.
Blue wood paint for stairs & wall panelling
If you'd like to give a wooden staircase a fresh look with blue paint, we recommend using Easy Eggshell! You'll get a particularly lovely effect if you paint the risers in a light blue and the treads and handrail in a darker shade. Start by applying a primer to the surface with MissPompadour To Bond & Block, then apply 2 coats of blue wood paint. Finally, don't forget to reinforce the treads and handrail with MissPompadour To Seal. The topcoat gives them extra protection.
Wall panelling can also shine in a new way in blue. If the panelling runs horizontally around the room at half height, always choose a darker shade for the wood than for the wall above.
Windows & doors in elegant blue
Why not paint window frames and doors in a beautiful shade of blue? If you also do this with the exterior window frames and the front door, you'll give your home a truly maritime look. You can also limit the blue wood paint to the inner surfaces of the doors and window frames.
Which colour goes with blue?
How you combine blue shades depends on the undertone of the particular blue. Dark blues and blues with a hint of green go beautifully with light turquoise and green hues. Violet-toned blues work best with reddish shades.
What's the best blue paint for wood?
The best paint quality for your project depends on what you're painting. As a general rule, anything that will see a lot of wear and tear is best painted with blue wood paint in the Easy Eggshell! quality. For outdoor projects, we recommend our Balkon & Garten paint. You can use both paint options for projects exposed to sun and weather. Indoors and in children's rooms, you can also paint with CosyColours and LittlePomp chalk paints (currently only available in Germany and Austria). Not sure which paint is right for your project? At MissPompadour, you'll always find friendly, expert advice.
Which blue is warm?
All blue shades with a hint of red in them feel warm.
How well does blue wood paint cover?
How well a wood paint covers depends on the quality of the paint, the surface, and how much contrast there is with the previous coat. Blue shades in Easy Eggshell! quality offer high coverage.
When do I need to prime or seal wood paint in blue?
If you're using very light shades on blotchy wood types with lots of knots, we recommend a primer. The same goes if your wood surfaces are raw, as they'll soak up a lot of paint. If you're painting over old paint or another very smooth surface, you should prime first too, so the paint adheres well. Use MissPompadour To Bond & Block as your primer. For any wood surfaces that will see a lot of wear and tear, finish off with MissPompadour To Seal to stabilise them.
