When it comes to upcycling furniture with Morris & Co Chalky Matt paint, the first step is to choose the right piece. Look for solid wood pieces that are in good condition, as these will be the easiest to work with and will have the most potential for transformation. Once you have chosen your piece, it's time to prepare it for painting.

The first step in preparing the furniture is to clean it thoroughly. Remove any dirt, dust, or grime that may have accumulated on the surface. This can be done using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once the surface is clean, you should fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand it down until it is smooth.

Next, you will need to prime the surface with a high-quality primer. This is important because it will help to seal the surface and provide a good base for the paint to adhere to. Morris & Co Chalky Matt paint is a water-based paint, so you should use a water-based primer for best results.
