# How to Repair Scratches in Black Painted Wood Furniture
Furniture with a black-painted finish stands out in a room, whether the decor is modern, country or traditional. Unfortunately, any scratches or mars also stand out against the raw wood underneath. You can easily repair minor scratches at home, while large gashes or extensive damage may require completely stripping, sanding and repainting the furniture.
