Choosing the Right Brush for Furniture Painting

Choose Your Shape

Flat Brushes: Designed for expansive, level surfaces such as tables and cabinets. Deliver consistent, uniform coverage ideal for foundation and finishing coats. A reliable choice for those new to furniture painting.

Round Brushes: Perfect for intricate detailing, textured applications, and curved elements like spindles and chair legs. Excellent for stippling techniques, dry brushing, and ornamental patterns.

Oval Brushes: Combines the benefits of flat and round styles, making them superb for blending and tackling both level and contoured areas. Comfortable grip reduces fatigue during extended painting sessions.

Pointed Sash Brushes: Indispensable for accessing tight corners, detailed joinery, and ornate carvings on furniture and fitted pieces.

Angled Brushes: Engineered for precise edging along borders, mouldings, and corners. Essential for neat trim application and navigating confined areas.

Choose Your Bristle Type

Natural Bristles: Perfect for waxes, stains, and achieving textured, vintage finishes that showcase character and depth.

Blended Bristles: Combines natural and synthetic fibres for adaptable performance, delivering both smooth coverage and subtle texture.

Synthetic Bristles: Engineered for water-based paints like Fusion™ Mineral Paint, creating flawless, streak-free results with professional polish.

Choose Your Size

Large Projects: Opt for wider brushes measuring 2.5" or 3" to cover expansive surfaces quickly and effectively—ideal for tables, cabinets, and similar pieces.

Detailed Work: Choose smaller brushes or angled options when tackling intricate designs and confined spaces that demand precision.
