If used by a sunny window, can the ivory color fade?
You want to place a storage cabinet by a living room window to display decorative objects or lighting, but are concerned that bright painted furniture might turn yellow from sunlight.
Due to the nature of painted furniture, the surface color can gradually change with prolonged exposure to sunlight, so it is safer to avoid windows exposed to direct sunlight[1].
It is a scene of placing a bright storage cabinet by a living room window where the warm afternoon sun shines deeply. While crisp and smooth furniture brightens up the space, facing strong light every day requires caution.
Colors can fade[2]. Among VILLA RECORDS's CURVED SIDE BOARD 3, the IVORY color is furniture finished by applying paint over E1-grade MDF boards[3]. With the painted finish method where hardened paint covers the surface, steady exposure to ultraviolet rays causes the paint film components to gradually react, making it prone to losing its original clear tone and turning yellow. Marks may also be left under objects placed on top. If vases or picture frames are left in one spot for a long time, an uneven color difference can form between the shaded area and the area that fully received the light.
You can start by keeping a slight distance from the window. Placing it about half a handspan away from the window, or softly filtering direct sunlight with a sheer curtain during the daytime when sunlight streams in intensely, can help preserve the bright color of the surface for a long time. hmmm, the brighter the furniture, the longer its true color can be preserved when placed in a path that the sunlight skirts rather than right in the middle of the light.
The detailed ingredients of the paint used in the finish or whether a UV-blocking coating was applied have not yet been confirmed.
