Question – What Paint Colors Work With French Provincial Furniture ?

Question : Was wondering what are popular colors now in style, about to paint a French Provincial chest of drawers and nightstand? Was thinking turquoise but didn’t know if that color was still in? Your opinions appreciated
Becky – There’s so much regional variation in what’s popular, but if I was going to do a turquoise, I would lean more toward a muted teal, sort of along the lines of Benjamin Moore’s color of the year- Aegean Teal. Country Chic has a color I want to try- Jitterbug, which is a sophisticated muted teal. Colors like Fusion’s French Eggshell sell really well for me on french provincial furniture.
Owen – The clue is in the word, French!
Becky – I see French Provincial painted in all sorts of colors successfully, but I think that French Eggshell is a such a subtle and versatile color that it sells well on lots of styles.
Pam – Depends on the style but people seem to like stripes no matter what the color is. Pantones 2021 colors are a deeper yellow (mustard) and medium gray.
Rachel – I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I paint how I feel, I use color! I don’t follow trends.
Isabel – Navy is very big now
Krystal – I hear baby blue’s. I think it’s going to be different every where. Some people are still stuck on Farmhouse style too and last year was Bohemian from articles I read
Jessica – Sold fast Can’t go wrong with White
Monica – White is definitely the quickest seller for me. But French Blue and Gray are tied for second.
Stacey – A mineral blue many shades are now great
Lisa – If you want to sell it quickly -White. I know it’s dull but it always sells.
Lana – I think Navy, Black and white
Paula – Turquoise is over here
Lisa – I’m doing lots of dark blues, white and black
Cheryl – It depends where you live. Unfortunately, where I am it’s basically grey, white, black. Every once in a while we do different colors and wait for the right person to come along.
Marcie – I’ve tried doing colors but they take me a long time to sell. Things I paint white sell right after posting them.
Amy – Lavender, teal, light blue or gray
Alexis – I will be honest, not an “in” color anymore, peaked about 5 years ago. But if you like it and it goes with your decor, who cares? And that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t sell. Other “jewel” tones are popular right now like green and blue (dark).

Information about this lovely piece was taken from the ad:
This vintage French provincial dresser is just gorgeous. It was made when the craftsmanship was exceptional with wood glides, dovetail joints, curved drawers and so much pride. This is a solid wood dresser with five drawers that slide beautifully and are lined with vintage pink French designed fabric.
It is adorned with so many pearls, beads, flowers and roses that it makes a statement of take me home and show me off.
My favorite paint is Sherwin Williams, known for its high quality and durability. The color is a soft white.

French Provincial Bleached Tall Dresser By Shabby Roots Boutique

This dresser was listed in the SF Bay Craigslist.
From the listing:
Modern farmhouse bleached wood tall dresser French chest of drawers – $1,095 (vallejo / benicia)
Gorgeous natural raw bleached wood tall dresser. This antique French provincial chest of drawers is where rustic meets chic. This piece took me a solid week from start to finish and I’m so thrilled with the way it turned out. This piece was sanded down to bare wood (some of the old finish was left in cracks and crevices on purpose to make it more interesting) the wood was then bleached, and bleached again, and again- white washed, and sealed with some dark wax and white wax for a perfect buttery smooth to the touch matte finish.
This piece is solid wood and features 6 smooth dovetail drawers, stunning wood grain, beautiful curves, moulding and feet, and those striking French hardware pulls with a bronze patina set this piece off perfectly. This piece is truly a one of a kind and won’t last long.
