Professional Decorating Tools for Furniture Painting and Traditional Finishes

Discover the Best Tools at Antique Pine Imports

We’re excited to announce that Antique Pine Imports now stocks a carefully curated range of Axus decorating tools. These tools are specifically chosen for furniture painting and traditional wood finishes. Axus is highly regarded among professional decorators for producing high-quality brushes, rollers, and preparation tools. They deliver excellent results while remaining practical and reliable to use.

Our selected in-store range focuses on the tools best suited to painting furniture, particularly when working with traditional materials such as antique pine.

Why We Chose Axus

Over the past 30 years, we have restored antique pine furniture and used a wide variety of decorating tools. The quality of the brush or roller directly impacts the final finish. Axus tools stood out because they offer:

• Excellent control and precision when painting furniture.

• A smooth, consistent finish with minimal brush marks.

• Reliable performance with modern furniture paints such as Frenchic.

• Durable construction suitable for repeated professional use.

  
  

These tools complement the Frenchic paint range we stock and use in our own workshop, allowing customers to achieve the best possible results at home.

A Curated Selection for Furniture Painting

Our in-store Axus range focuses on the tools most useful for furniture and interior pieces, including:

• Specialist furniture paint brushes.

• High-density foam rollers for smooth finishes.

• Microfibre rollers for slightly more textured finishes where appropriate.

• Sanding tools and preparation accessories.

• Masking and preparation essentials.

  
  

These are the same types of tools used in our own workshop when preparing and finishing antique pine wardrobes, cupboards and dressers.

Full Axus Decorating Range Available to Order

In addition to our curated in-store selection, the full Axus professional decorating range is available to order through Antique Pine Imports for convenient in-store collection. This includes:

• Complete professional brush ranges.

• Trade roller systems and sleeves.

• Surface preparation tools.

• Decorating accessories and equipment.

  
  

If you’re working on a larger project or require specific tools, we’re happy to arrange supply directly.

Designed to Work Perfectly Alongside Frenchic Paint

Axus tools pair exceptionally well with Frenchic Furniture Paint, which we use and recommend for selected antique pine pieces. Using the correct brush or roller makes a significant difference to:

• Final finish quality.

• Ease of application.

• Paint coverage.

• Overall durability of the finish.

  
  

Choosing the right tools helps ensure your finished piece looks professional and remains durable for years to come.

Tips for Choosing the Right Tools

When selecting tools for your furniture painting project, consider the following tips:

Understand Your Project Needs

Every project is different. Assess the type of furniture you are working on and the finish you desire. This will help you determine which tools will be most effective.

Quality Over Quantity

Investing in high-quality tools like those from Axus can save you time and frustration. They provide better results and can last longer than cheaper alternatives.

Experiment with Different Techniques

Don’t be afraid to try different brushes and rollers. Each tool can produce a unique finish. Experimenting will help you find the best combination for your specific project.
