What Paint Should I Use for Wood?

Photo Courtesy: eclipse_images/E+/Getty Images

From the cabinets in your kitchen to a piece of furniture to a fun craft, there are plenty of wood items you can paint. And one of the best things about wood is that it accepts a variety of paints well, whether you opt for something that's acrylic or an oil-based formula. Painting wood is an easy way to change its look and give it some new personality, but it's not always clear what paint to use for different projects and applications. Here's what you need to know about the right paint to use for wood.

What's Your Project?

First, it's essential to figure out the nature of your project, meaning you'll need to determine not only what you're painting but also where it's located or going to be used. Are you painting shingles on the exterior of your home? Or are you painting an outdoor deck that'll see a lot of foot traffic? How about kitchen cabinets that people will touch often, or a bathroom shelf that'll be exposed to high humidity from the shower?

Knowing things like whether or not it's going to get wet, how often someone's going to use it or touch it and what overall effect or look you want to achieve are all essential for determining what paint you should use for the project. Wood accepts a very wide range of paints and stains, but each of those can have differing levels of durability and protection. Some paints are better than others in certain situations, and you'll need to know your particular situation before you make your choice.

Paint Types and Formulas

The great thing about wood is that, as long as you apply primer to it in most cases, any type of paint works well on it, depending on what function you need your project to serve. Generally speaking, paints to use on wood are water-based or oil-based. Acrylic and latex are the two most common types of water-based paints, while oil-based paints fall into two categories: synthetic or natural. Each of these is better than others for specific applications.

Latex paint is quick-drying, easy to clean and better for the environment than other types. It's also less likely to discolor over time. However, it's not the most durable choice, as it can scratch and chip easily. It's best for indoor wood items or surfaces that you won't touch or use very often, such as rarely used furniture, storage cabinet doors, stair spindles and picture frames. Latex paint is often the most affordable type.

Acrylic paint is ideal for home exteriors, although you can also use oil-based paint here. If the exterior is made up of different materials, such as stone and wood, you're better off choosing acrylic. Materials like stone and masonry need breathable paint to allow moisture and water vapor to pass through, and oil-based paint prevents this. Acrylic craft paints are also widely available and easy to use and clean up if you're doing a simple DIY craft project using wood.

Synthetic oil paint, which is also called alkyd, is the best choice for applications where you need a lot more durability. Think everyday furniture that'll get used and jostled often, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, interior trims like baseboards and door frames that'll get kicked and touched often, and flooring indoors and out. Oil-based paints are more rigid than flexible, water-based types so they're less likely to chip — even when people are walking on them — and they're also easier to wash clean because of this.

Natural oil paint, called linseed, is best for craft projects on which you want to create a warm, aged patina. It's typically much more expensive than the synthetic variety, which is why it's best for smaller projects.

Prepping for the Project

To help the paint adhere well and to ensure the finish looks its best when everything is dry, it's important to prep your wood to get it ready. If you're painting an exterior surface or item, give everything a thorough wash to make sure there isn't any dirt, dust, moss or algae, all of which can keep the paint from sticking to the surface. If you're painting wood deck furniture, a table or something else for the outdoors that people will touch frequently, it's a wise idea to sand it before painting to give the paint something smooth to adhere to. Splinters and cracks can also keep the finished product from looking its best, and they're uncomfortable to sit on. Let the surface or or item dry out fully before applying the paint, and give it a few days to dry and start curing before you use it. It's best to do outdoor wood-painting projects while the weather is nice.

If you're repainting an interior surface or furniture such as kitchen cabinetry or a dresser, take a look at the existing paint or finish. If the item's current paint isn't chipped, cracked or bubbling, you can usually paint right over it; just sand the wood areas briefly to give the surface more texture for the paint to stick to. If you don't need to remove cabinet paint, it's still a good idea to clean the doors with a heavy-duty solution like TSP to eliminate all traces of grease and grime. If you do need to remove a little bit of paint, such as a few chipped areas, you can sand them down. However, you may need to use paint stripper for items with paint that's very damaged. This is a product that softens the old paint so you can scrape and wipe it all off.

A word of caution here: If your cabinets or other painted home surfaces were last done in the 1970s or earlier, they may contain lead-based paint. If you use a testing kit and determine there's lead in your paint, call the National Lead Information Center or your local health department to find out how to proceed.

You may live in a small space that lacks a dining room, but that doesn't mean you can't carve out a space for mealtimes and entertaining guests.

Seat everyone in style and comfort with this guide to selecting the best dining table for your space.

SHAPE MATTERS

Circular tables are good for conversation and feel more inclusive, making it easier to talk not just to your immediate neighbours but everyone. Square and rectangular tables will line up neatly with other furniture and can be pushed against the wall if you need space, for a party, for example.

SIZE IT UP

As a rule of thumb, a square table measuring 90cm x 90cm, or a 90cm diameter circular one, will seat four people snugly. For six people, a rectangular 150cm x 90cm table, or a circular 130cm diameter design will work. For eight people, allow a table of 200cm x 100cm, or 150cm diameter.

Get the right size of table for the space. When you've found a table you like, and before you buy, check if it will work in your space. Cut and stick together sheets of newspaper to the size of your table, and lay the template on the floor to give you a sense of how it will fit. Remember you'll need around 60-90cm from the table edge to the nearest wall/piece of furniture, and if you can spare 100cm there will be even more room for people to walk behind seated diners.

Consider tables that can be extended if you like to have a big crowd over. Gateleg tables, which have a flap or flaps that fold down, are perfect for compact rooms. Check that there's enough space when at its maximum size.

TWICE THE VALUE

If your table will double as an eating and working space, you'll need one with a practical, hardwearing surface. For instance, a design with a top that can be re-oiled or painted would be better than a lacquered one.

Small business marketing often requires using multiple channels. Those different methods need to work together to support a larger goal. But some marketing agencies only focus on certain options or create a disjointed experience. However, lotus823 is different. The company uses strategies that are designed to all work together.

In addition, the company is known for its positive culture and support of employees. They even let team members bring their pets to work as an added perk! Read about the company and its methods in this week's Small Business Spotlight.

---

What the Business Does

Offers a variety of integrated marketing services.

The marketing communications agency offers a wide range of services designed to increase brand visibility both online and offline. Services include:

• public relations
• social media marketing
• content creation
• Amazon marketing
• trade show marketing
• SEO
• web design
• influencer marketing

Business Niche

Working across multiple channels at once.

Account Executive Kaitlin Crocilla told Small Business Trends, "By building powerful connections across multiple channels, our team delivers engaging business solutions with measurable results to companies across the world."

How the Business Got Started

At a dining room table.

Crocilla says, "lotus823 had humble beginnings… namely, the dining room table. It was here where agency principals, David and Allison Hernandez, developed the idea of an integrated approach to marketing communications."

Biggest Win

Being recognized with several industry awards.

The marketing agency has won more than 40 awards through the years, including Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces of 2019.

Biggest Risk

Breaking into a new space.

Crocilla explains, "Three years ago, we bought an agency specializing in home and housewares. It definitely caused disruption within our organization. Many things could have gone wrong, such as not working well with the previous owner and the VP."

However, the transition was successful. Three years later, the leadership team still works well together. Additionally, they all work well with the rest of the team too. As a bonus, the home and housewares sector of the business has grown.

How They'd Spend an Extra $100,000

Supporting the team.

Crocilla says that the company would love to add additional employee training programs. For example, some of the money could go toward starting a company-wide retreat. The leadership team understands that employees are vital to their success.

Office Environment

Open and flexible.

Crocilla explains, "The workplace and wellness benefits include unlimited paid time off, option of bringing pets to work, work-from-home schedules, casual dress code, offsite social events/outings, employee gym memberships, stress-relief breaks, and much more!"

The office also features an open floor plan. This makes it easy for team members to collaborate. And the company wants to support that culture of camaraderie.
