Is your prosecution old -fashioned, commonplace, worn out?Redo it and give it color, it will gain in character.There are "special parquet" paints that are easy to apply.Scandinavian whiteness, your industrial metal or daring vintage color, choose the desired effect.
Paint a floor to give a fresh stroke
Before, painting your parquet was cheap.Now there is nothing more chic!The trend comes from Scandinavia.There, we paint our floor as we paint our walls.It's cheerful, bright, easy to do.And it gives character to the most any floors, such as the typical mosaic oak of the 1960s or the pine with yellow and knotty blades.Thus made uniform, the prosecution highlights the furniture.If you feel an artist's soul, you can even add to the brush of trompe l'oeil patterns, to imitate the border of a carpet or the geometry of a few cement tiles for example.
"The trend is opacity"
The new paintings for parquets apply on raw woods, already painted or varnish, without stripping or underlay (a slight sanding is sometimes necessary).Resistant, they do not go easy;Their covering texture masks wood imperfections."The trend is in opacity", confirms Sandrine Pommies, product manager at Syntilor, who offers a colored vitrifier, thick as a paint and as resistant as a conventional vitrifier.The best-sellers colors?White and black lacquered, and aluminum shade to surprising metallic reflections.
Light or vintage shades
Natural and whitened tones are on the rise.At Maison Déco, we add on a roller, taupe or sand base, a white patina or a glitter varnish ("wood relook").At Libéron, a gray, beige or white brush is used on light woods.For an industrial atmosphere, bet on metal gray.Dark, they structure the space and make it warm.Want more fantasy?At Tollens, we find, among 14 revisited shades, a beautiful red caster and a celadon green full of freshness.These vintage colors go well with recovery furniture.
