Do you love a bit of drama? These black painted furniture ideas will have you inspired to update your old furniture!
Do you have old outdated furniture that needs serious help? People are usually reluctant to display their grandmother’s outdated furniture, but their forms are lovely and remain timeless.
Black is famously versatile, eternally fashionable, and makes any room feel more modern. If you are looking for contrast, drama, or depth in a room, black painted furniture may be the solution.
Use Black Furniture to Contrast with White Walls
Not thrilled with plain white walls? Consider using black furniture instead. A simple black nightstand, bed frame, or other black decor breaks up the monotony by creating bold outlines that lead the eye around the room.
Take a peek at these black painted furniture forms. Be prepared, once you start painting old furniture, friends and family will start donating their old furniture to you to revamp!

This shelf was in serious bad condition. I revamped this cabinet using homemade chalk paint. Find the recipe and video instruction on how to make your own chalk paint, right here.
The glass door on the shelf was broken and the wood color was an unpleasant orange tone, yikes.I stained the top of the shelf in a walnut color and painted the inside in rich black and the outside in ultra snow white.
I distressed this piece in areas where you would typically see signs of wear.

Adding a splash of color to your furniture drawers is a creative way to add color without being too bold. If you aren’t comfortable using strong hues in a big way, start small with key accessories, like pillows and rugs that can be switched out for either a season change or simply for a mood change.
If you have an old outdated piece of furniture you’ve been dying to revamp, I would love to see and share it.
As I always say, “the possibilities are endless”. Have fun painting!
