Decorating Ideas to Paint Tables & Chairs

Green(ery) Theme

• Create an outdoor green theme on your table and chairs by painting vines, trees and leaves on the chairs after first painting them a solid color. Paint the table as a treetop, a woodland scene, some hills or add fun elements such as woodland fairies, elves and other fantasy forest creatures. Greenery can be painted in a whimsical style or with more of a country cottage flair.

The Royal Table

• Give your furniture an air of royalty by painting the chairs as thrones and the table as a royal table setting fit for the king and queen. Chairs can be painted in royal blues, purples, reds and golds, and fake cushions (or the royal people themselves) can be painted onto the chairs. The table setting art can be all the food and dinnerware one would find at a royal feast: huge portions of food and drink, large goblets and plates.

Mismatched Mania

• Mismatched furniture painted in different colors creates a fun, playful look for any room. For instance, one chair can be painted blue, another red, another green, and the table can be a different color all together. Use bright, cheery colors to create a fun, humorous atmosphere.

Outer Space

• An outer space theme would be fun for anyone with a quirky sense of humor, or those who enjoy astronomy or outer space in general. Table and chairs can be painted indigo blue with stars, nebula and galaxies randomly painted on each. The table top can feature the sun, Earth or the moon as viewed from space. Chair seats could be painted as different planets, or feature cartoon aliens or UFOs.
