Patination is the technology of artificial aging, which has become widespread in the design of interiors. Patina allows you to easily transform old furniture in accordance with the current design trends, or vice versa, create a kind of “touch of time” on your new headset, giving it a mysterious vintage appearance. The application of the patina is not particularly difficult and does not oblige you to radically change the situation. Patination of furniture products is in great demand. This is easy enough to explain, because furniture is the main component in the interior, largely determines the stylistics of the room and its color scheme. At the same time, it should be noted that the patina looks equally well on both old-fashioned sets made of natural wood and modern furniture made of composite materials. Depending on the source material, a suitable patination technology is selected. Currently, patina for wood is represented on the market in a wide color palette and price range.
Both MDF patina and patina for wooden products are made on the basis of special dyes – acrylic or powder. Special components in the patina make it possible to achieve not only an excellent aesthetic result, but also to preserve the desired kind of furniture for many years.
There is also a patina for metal, with which you can decorate various accessories, furnishings and even furniture elements: forged legs or backrests, flower stands, clothes hangers, figurines, etc.
In other words, patination opens almost limitless possibilities for creative experiments in the field of interior design, each of which will become a win-win:
