Ivory Cream - French Life Painted Finish

This is our most popular paint finish. This is a neutral colour that works in both traditional and contemporary bedrooms. Changing trends towards rustic and exotic furniture in bedrooms means customers are choosing Ivory Cream painted furniture to get the popular shabby chic look. For a truly relaxing atmosphere, check out the Parisienne bed pictured along with Le Chambre furniture.

Painting wooden furniture is centuries old. Local carpenters used local timbers to make furniture whether it was oak, pine, or whatever. Wealthier customers paid more to have furniture painted and decorated. It was seen as a more refined finish to plain wood. Original examples of this type of bedroom furniture are quite rare and often used in magazine features.

Customers like the idea of Gustavian and Swedish style furniture and chose Sleigh beds painted in the Ivory Cream or Pearl White together with painted bedroomfuniture. Children’s bedrooms also get the treatment; customers like the idea of painted 3'0" four poster beds & painted 3'0" Sleigh beds.The paint finish itself is aged and rubbed back in places to reveal the wood and then waxed, this makes the finish look old and authentic.
