Best Black Paint and Best White Paint for Furniture
So you’ve decided to jump on the black and white furniture trend, but now you might be wondering what paint to use. We’ve tried our fair share of black and white paints, so we have some recommendations!
Among the best white paint for furniture options, General Finishes Enduro Poly in White is one of our top picks. It’s easy to use, doesn’t require thinning, and won’t yellow over time. You will need to use a primer for best coverage and adhesion, but it also already has a tinted topcoat so you can skip that step!
This white paint is durable and long lasting, making it a great choice for furniture that gets lots of use. Plus cleanup is a breeze with soap and water, thanks to its waterbased formula. You can see the General Finishes Enduro White Poly in action in our painting a dresser white makeover here.
While for the best black paint for furniture, you’ll want to look into Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black for its smooth, matte finish. This paint is also low VOC and non toxic, making it a safe choice for any furniture project.
The Fusion Mineral Paint can easily be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer, though it’s not self leveling so if you brush or roll it on you may need to do additional coats for a smooth finish. It’s highly durable as it is without a primer or topcoat, but we recommend applying both for added durability. Here’s our repainting furniture makeover using Coal Black if you want to see how it looks on actual furniture.
What types of decor go well with black and white furniture?
When it comes to decorating with black and white painted furniture, the possibilities are endless. Depending on your style, you could go for a more modern look with neutral accents or add some classical charm with intricately detailed pieces.
For a playful twist, why not try bright colors like fuchsia or sunny yellow? Or if you prefer something subtler, muted and pastel shades can still make a big impact in your space.
No matter what look you’re going for, white and black furniture is sure to elevate the atmosphere of any room – so don’t be afraid to experiment and find something truly unique that reflects your personal style!

How to clean black and white furniture
Maintaining the luster and charm of your black and white painted furniture is easier than you think! Regular cleaning is key, and a simple dusting with a dry duster like a Swiffer or feather duster can keep dust and dirt away.
For anything that isn’t dust, a damp rag with clean water or a solution of dish soap and warm water should do the trick. Remember, avoid harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint. Instead of scrubbing vigorously, gently rub the surface to prevent paint scratching.
With a little love and attention, your black & white furniture will continue to shine and add a touch of personality to your home for years to come!
