Painting a piece of furniture in a bold color like green can instantly transform the overall look and feel of any room.

Green painted dressers can also be incorporated into any room of the house. Pop a mint green dresser into a nursery or kid’s room for a fun, playful touch, or go for a deep forest green one in your living room or dining area to bring in some sophistication and elegance.
So let’s take a look at some of our favorite green painted dresser ideas below for some inspiration. From simple and subtle to bold and unique, these green dressers are sure to take the style of any space up a notch.
How to prepare my dresser for painting it green?
Before you dive into the fun part of painting, it’s important to properly prepare your dresser for a flawless finish. Here are some steps to follow:
- Clean and sand: First off, clean any dust or grime off your dresser. Then, give it a gentle sanding to get rid of old finishes or any rough spots. Here’s how to clean furniture before painting if you don’t have any idea how to do this process. And to learn the importance of sanding furniture, here’s our post on sanding before painting furniture!
- Prime: Got a glossy finish or some stains? It’s best to prime it before you slap on the green paint. This helps the color stick better and last longer. Here’s our list of the best primers for painting furniture to help you decide which primer is best for your next project.
- Pick your paint: When choosing your green paint, think about the dresser’s surface and what look you’re going for. Latex or acrylic paints are solid choices for wood, and chalk paint can give it that cool, vintage vibe. Check out our types of paint for furniture post to help you choose the right paint for your green painted dressers.
- Start painting: Go in with a light coat of paint and let it dry completely before adding a second layer. This approach helps avoid drips and gives you a neater finish.
- Make it yours: After the paint dries, have fun adding your own flair with techniques like distressing or stenciling to make your dresser uniquely yours. Here’s stenciling furniture to learn more about the tips and tricks for getting beautiful results in stenciling furniture.
