Upcycling furniture – old becomes individual & modern

Upcycling furniture means breathing new life into existing pieces and adapting them to your own style. With paints, chalk finishes, effects, or protective finishes, furniture can be easily transformed without replacing it. This collection is aimed at anyone who thinks sustainably, creates creatively, and wants to individually enhance their furniture. At Franken Group, you'll find the right products to visibly change and beautify furniture for the long term.

Application when upcycling furniture

Products for upcycling furniture are used on wood, MDF, or already coated surfaces indoors. Before application, furniture should be clean, dry, and free of grease. Depending on the product, light sanding can be useful to improve adhesion.

Application ranges from classic painting to chalk paints to structural or effect techniques. After applying the paint, furniture can be protected with oils, waxes, or finishes to make them suitable for everyday use. This way, cupboards, tables, chests of drawers, or chairs can be visually enhanced and simultaneously protected from wear and tear.

Differences & selection aid for upcycling furniture

When upcycling furniture, choosing the right products plays a crucial role. Depending on the desired style and use, different materials and techniques are suitable.

Important selection criteria are:

• Appearance: Matte, chalky, smooth, or with an effect

• Stress: Decorative furniture or heavily used surfaces

• After-treatment: Sealing for protection and longevity

Chalk paints provide a calm, matte look, while furniture paints are particularly durable. Effect paints and textures set specific highlights. The right combination ensures a harmonious result and long-lasting furniture.
