All these years i have stayed away from painting for these reasons and many more such as lack of knowledge space constraints difficulties of painting with a toddler at home and even the impatience of having to let dry between coats.
Can you paint bamboo blinds.
We just painted these mini blinds.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
Yes our bamboo mini blinds.
Via style at home.
So quick and easy.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
This is our breakfast room.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
I used two trestles and some leftover wood.
I want to show you how.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
Use what you have on hand.
Bamboo isn t as porous as wood but penetrating oils still soak in and if you have a newish piece of bamboo furniture it may have a coat of tung or linseed oil.
That s not an obstacle to painting the piece but you want to clean it thoroughly first because penetrating oils tend to pick up dirt.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
It looks great at night but you can see that the sunlight breaks up the black stripes during the day because it is a bamboo shade after all.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
We just replaced the hardwood floors.
