Previewing alternative paint colours on wooden furniture
This piece of furniture is huge and to me it has no life. It's useful with lots of storage and space for the TV etc but I'd like to modernize it. My floor is ceramic tile, so I can't change that but I'm seriously considering painting the wood and need help deciding what colour to use.

Hack a Paint Visualizer for Whole-room Color Inspiration
I have a large wooden entertainment piece similar to yours. Mine is solid oak and when purchased it had only a clear coat over it. I am going to stain mine in black. I don't want the "thick" look of paint since it is already such a big bulky piece. Mine does not have any hardware but I am going to add some brushed nickel hardware.
What color are the walls? I would wash it first with Murphy's oil soap. Rinse well, let dry completely. Take off the knobs and remove the two doors and four drawers. Paint this a beige,and or off white. Depending on what you want in a finish, a semi- gloss, or gloss. Paint the doors laying flat, and the drawers standing up. A light color would give it contrast to the flooring. Good Luck!
P.S. seal it with Wilbert's lemon oil, follow directions on bottle!
I am so curious to know what you did? This post is old...are you still there? Did you do ....what?
Chickened out so far.
Ok, I have same question, I want to change colour of my display cabinet (white or grey, high gloss) and give it a modern look (new handles etc). Lots of answers here but none answered the question in 2016/2017.
Now in 2020, is there an app to visualise how display cabinet will look if I were to make the changes??
Thanks
