Can anyone recommend a paint for furniture?

[WhichOneIsPosher]

I have two beech effect pieces of furniture in my bedroom but have been slowly changing the rest to white as they were pretty done in and needed replaced. I don't want to get rid of the beech items as they're still in good nick so can anyone recommend a decent white paint for these?
I'd probably want to change the colour of the doors on my sons inbuilt wardrobes with paint too (again, a wood effect colour to white) so if anyone can recommend something for that too then thst would be great thanks

I have used white chalk paint (Rustoleum or even Aldi or Lidl's own brand, can't remember which) as an initial coat or two on wooden furniture. You don't need to sand any existing varnish off. Then it's a decent base for whatever you want to finish with.

If the wood isn't currently varnished I would advise if there are knots they would need stain block paint because they'll always show through in the end.

I second chalk paint but I used Annie Sloan. It's good quality so only needed one coat.

I agree or you could use frenchic. The key as has been said is to use a good primer such as bin to stop the knots coming through. I’ve just done pine wardrobe doors with ‘normal’ paint with primer first and they are fine.
