5 Perfect Fall Paint Colors for Furniture

Sharing is caring!

What colors do you think of when I say “Fall”?

I bet you’re imagining orange, red, yellow, maybe even some brown or olive green, am I right?

There are certain colors that come to mind for each season of the year.

So when the temperatures drop and the leaves start changing colors, I start pulling different colors off my shelves for my painted pieces.

Yes, you want to pick a color for your painted furniture project that is going to suit your needs year round.

But if you want to conjure up that warm and cozy fall feeling in your spaces, it makes sense to think about the colors you’re using and how they relate to the season.

Or if you’re painting furniture to sell, I think it’s even more important to paint pieces in seasonal colors.

I find pieces painted in darker colors sell better in the fall and winter months than they do in spring and summer, while white or pastel color pieces are just the opposite.

And the goal is to sell our painted pieces, right?

So whether you’re a lover of fall who is just looking to bring that feeling into your spaces year round, or you’re wanting to stock your shop space with fall-inspired pieces and décor—this list is for you!

I’ve got 5 colors from the Fusion Mineral Paint and Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line that I think say “Fall” and would be beautiful for your next project.

 

 

 

 

 1. Cranberry—Fusion Mineral Paint

 

 

If you’re scared of bright red but love the idea of a saturated, warm color, Cranberry is for you.

It’s a luscious, deep red with just a hint of purple. Top it with Black Wax or Antiquing Glaze to warm it up even more.

2. Bayberry–Fusion Mineral Paint

 

 

Save the bright green for spring and use this olive-toned one for the Fall. Bayberry has some brown-tone to it, which helps it compliment stained wood really well. I would love to see a tall chest of drawers painted in Bayberry!

3. Plaster–Fusion Mineral Paint

 

 

Are you someone that has to go with white? If that’s the case, can I talk you into trying Plaster? It’s a warm, light cream color with not too much yellow. It can get you that light, white look you’re wanting while not coming off cold.

4. Artissimo–Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint

For fall and winter, the darker the blue the better! And when it comes to dark blue, Artissimo is my favorite, hands-down. It’s a navy that still manages to have a touch of brightness to it, and of course you get the awesome depth of color that only milk paint can give.

5. Schloss–Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint

 

 

From the European color line, Schloss is a warm gray with strong brown undertones. It functions as a darker neutral and is a great color for larger size pieces.

So there you have it!
