What does laminate furniture look like.

Veneer furniture uses a thin layer of real wood unlike laminate which is just made to look like wood. Let s get started time to gather your materials. Pretty soon you will want to paint all kinds of things to look like wood. Let s start with the products.

Essentially you are painting a coat of stain over the top to make it look like darker wood and not completely cover the grain like paint does. Since laminate isn t real wood and won t absorb anything it s just what you need. A piece of laminate furniture that has already been painted is ready to go when it comes to giving it a distressed appearance as you won t need to prime it or give it a base coat. I use modern masters products for this technique they are high quality and the products are concentrated so i end up using less.

To paint anything look like real wood. I like being able to have a bit of washed look in areas. I have lots of colours in mind.
