Green wood colour: a classic, not just for outdoors

Green wood paint in many variations: the MissPompadour selection

At MissPompadour, you'll find different paint qualities. They differ mainly in how hard-wearing they are and in the finish they create. What they all have in common is that they are splatter-free. They suit a wide range of surfaces and work for all kinds of projects. Are you painting a wooden chest of drawers in the living room or a wardrobe in the bedroom? Would you like to paint kitchen furniture that is wiped down with cleaning products every day? Or do you want to treat a fence or a garden shed with green wood paint to stand up to wind and weather? Will the colour green go in a nursery or on a busy staircase? At MissPompadour, you'll find the right paint in green for every surface.

Interior wood paint: green paint from matt to satin

Whenever you want to paint something indoors that gets a lot of wear, the paint Easy Eggshell! is the first choice. It gives you a smooth, pleasant-to-the-touch finish that is hard-wearing, scratch-resistant and easy to look after. Painted surfaces have a satin finish, meaning they have only a very low level of sheen. This wood paint is the right choice for kitchen furniture, staircases, benches, chairs and tables.

The chalk paints from CosyColours and LittlePomp are currently only available in Germany and Austria. If you're painting something that won't face such heavy wear and you'd like a completely matt finish, the chalk varnish from CosyColours is perfect for you. It gives you surfaces with a powdery, velvety look and a particularly elegant, refined feel.

In the CosyColours chalk paints range, you'll find beautiful, soft shades of green. The children's collection LittlePomp also offers cheerful green chalk varnishes that aren't just a hit with kids.

Exterior wood paint: green in shades from classic to modern and bold

You can also treat outdoor surfaces with green wood paint. We recommend the weatherproof and UV-resistant Balkon & Garten Lack as well as the sturdy wood paint quality Easy Eggshell!. Both paints are suitable for wooden surfaces, but they also work brilliantly on stone, metal and plastic. Applying them is easy, too. You can apply your chosen green wood paint with a brush or paint roller.

Ways to use green wood paint

Indoors, you can treat practically anything made of wood with green wood paint. You can give all kinds of furniture, pianos, staircases, wooden ceilings and wood panelling, window frames and, of course, doors a lovely green makeover. You'll find out more in our blog post on painting wooden furniture. A coat of Green Furniture Paint can completely transform kitchen furniture, too. You can even paint a floor green. In that case, though, you should finish off your paintwork with MissPompadour To Seal to stabilise it.

Outdoors, you can treat your front door, garage door, shutters and wooden window frames with green wood paint. A garden fence or garden shed also blends beautifully into nature in green. How about giving your garden furniture a makeover in Waldatem Grün, or painting the beams of your pergola in Wiesenduft Grün? There really are no limits to your creativity.

Tip: Raw wood or wood that bleeds through should be primed 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 paint. If the paint is flaking, you'll need to sand it down.

Painting doors and windows with green wood paint

Want to give your front door a new look? Paint it with green wood paint. Outdoors, you should always use our weatherproof wood paint Easy Eggshell!. Applied to exterior doors, this paint gives the wood of your door reliable protection from the elements. Just bear in mind that even Easy Eggshell! can't cope with standing water. The green wood paint has a soft satin sheen, and your door gets an elegant look.

The same goes for window frames, of course. Window frames painted with wood paint in Green with Moss go especially well with yellow facades. If you have shutters on your windows, you can emphasise your home's nostalgic look even more with a coat of green wood paint like Green with Forest. If your window frames are made of plastic, simply paint them with the same green wood paint. It isn't just suitable for painting wood, but works on other surfaces too. In that case, though, you should always use a primer so the paint can grip the smooth surface. Use MissPompadour To Bond & Block for this.

Green wood paint as an accent on staircases or wall panelling

You can transform the steps of a wooden staircase beautifully with green wood paint. If your staircase has both treads and risers, why not work with 2 different shades? For example, use the nearly black wood paint Green with Black for the treads and the banister, and a lighter shade of green like Green with Grey for the risers. You should also seal staircases when you've finished.

From garden fence to wooden garden house: using green outdoors

A garden fence is always exposed to wind and weather. That's why the wood needs special protection. This applies not only to garden furniture, but also if you want to paint a garden shed or treat the wooden cladding of a terrace with green wood paint. Because the paint is soaked up heavily by surfaces such as raw, sawn wood, it makes sense to prepare with a primer. This saves you a lot of wood paint. It also covers irregularities and stains in the wood, which increases the coverage of the wood paint.

When you paint with green wood paint, your garden fence, for example, blends discreetly into nature. A camouflage shade like Green with Mud is especially good for this. But perhaps you'd rather dare a bright aqua shade like Green with Lagoon on your garden furniture? In MissPompadour's large range of green wood paint, you're sure to find the right shade!
