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.
This is our breakfast room.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
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.
I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
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.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
We just painted these mini blinds.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
So quick and easy.

There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
I want to show you how.
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.
Via style at home.
Yes our bamboo mini blinds.
Use what you have on hand.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
