IOD Paint Inlays for Furniture Upcycling and Creative Crafts

Bring beautiful painted detail to furniture makeovers, home décor and handmade projects with Iron Orchid Designs Paint Inlays. Explore our selection of botanical, vintage-inspired and artistic designs at Yorkshire Sitting Pretty, your official UK IOD stockist.

From a floral feature on a chest of drawers to vintage pattern on a decorative box, IOD Paint Inlays offer a lovely way to give well-loved pieces a fresh story without painting every detail by hand.

What Are IOD Paint Inlays?

IOD Paint Inlays use real artist-quality paint carried on a paper backing. During application, the painted design embeds into your project’s surface, leaving the paint behind when the backing is removed. They are not decoupage papers, rub-on transfers or a decorative film sitting on top of your furniture.

The result is an individual painted finish that works beautifully with creative furniture upcycling and vintage-inspired decorating. Follow the instructions for your chosen inlay and compatible paint to prepare and apply your design.

Ideas for Your Next Paint Inlay Project

  • Add floral or botanical detail to painted drawers, cupboards and cabinet doors.
  • Create a decorative focal point on a dressing table or upcycled furniture piece.
  • Bring pattern and character to keepsake boxes, plaques and small home accessories.
  • Make personal handmade gifts using individual sections of your chosen design.

Softer Impressions and a Finish of Your Own

With careful handling, used inlay sheets can produce additional, softer impressions as the available paint diminishes. These gentler impressions are lovely for layered, faded or aged effects. Results and the number of uses vary with the design, surface and application.

Protecting Your Painted Design

The inlay paint remains active until it is properly sealed. Follow the IOD application and sealing instructions to protect your finished design, and check the individual product description for sheet sizes, contents and any design-specific guidance.
