Modifying, updating, or decorating wooden children’s furniture is a common wish among parents. And here, it is important to think not only about beauty and style but also about the child’s safety. Which materials are suitable for use in children’s rooms, and what can help beautifully transform a crib or old but beloved chairs? Let’s look for the answers.

What is most important?

It is very important to consider the composition of the materials you choose. Safe and recommended materials for use in children’s rooms are water-based.

• No unpleasant odors
• Safe, do not emit harmful chemicals
• Dry quickly.

The arguments are quite significant, so it is not even worth considering anything else for children’s rooms.

Now let’s look at the range of possible products. For working with wood, it is better to use varnishes and enamels, because with their help you can easily implement several interesting painting options.

Varnished Wood

A good idea both for new furniture and for those that have already been used. What can be done?

• Add shine to the wood. To do this, cover the crib with a clear varnish. It will strengthen the surface slightly and make the furniture elegant.
• Colored wood. If you want to give the crib any shade but do not want to hide the beauty of the wood under a dense coating, you can use TRIORA acrylic glaze. It gives a beautiful color and does not conceal the wood texture.
• Combine colored and clear coatings. Partitions on cribs and accentuated furniture frames look interesting when decorated this way.

How to use?

• When working with wood, to strengthen the material and ensure better adhesion, it is advisable to use a special primer. For example, TRIORA wood-protective primer will protect the wood from external factors and improve both material application and adhesion between layers.
• New, sanded wood without defects is enough just to cover with varnish or glaze.
• If the furniture has already served an older child and there are chips or scratches, it’s better to fix large defects with TRIORA wood filler. In this case, glaze with color is more appropriate for the final coating as it will better conceal all “patches”.

Cheerful Colors

You can give a crib color with TRIORA acrylic enamel for windows and doors. Why this material? Water-based enamel contains substances that prevent surfaces from sticking together. This is very convenient when furniture is transformable—the surface does not get damaged by parts sticking together. In addition, enamel helps restore furniture previously painted with other materials and hides worn parts of the wood.

As for color, wood enamel can be tinted in pastel shades. This is the best option for a child’s room. Bright colors may disturb children, while light paints will add color to the room and emphasize a child-friendly atmosphere.

How to work with enamel?

• For new wood, it is enough that it be clean and dry.
• Previously painted items should be cleaned of old coatings, degreased, and dried. If there are large scratches, smooth everything out with wood filler. The smoother the surface, the better the final result will be.
• Apply enamel in two layers. The second must be applied only after the first layer has dried.

You can update children’s furniture beautifully and without risk to your child’s health. Choose only safe materials and enjoy the result.
