The invention discloses a water-based paint for furniture. The water-based paint comprises an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, deionized water, a film-forming agent, an antifoaming agent, a leveling agent, a wetting agent, a dispersant, carbon black, calcium carbonate, nanometer aluminum oxide, a thickener, a cross-linking agent, a buffer agent, cerium 2-ethylhexanoate, 2-[1-(ethylsulfonyl)azetidin-3-ylidene]acetonitrile, propylene glycol ceteth-3 acetate, diphenyl azidophosphate and diphenyl carbonate. The aqueous polyurethane dispersion and the water are adopted as the main body of the wholepaint, so the whole paint system is aqueous; the synergistic effects of above materials greatly improve the hardness and the wear resistance of the system, so the hardness and the wear resistance canreach the hardness and the wear resistance of normal oily paints, and the paint in the invention also has good heat resistance; and the paint still has good hardness and wear resistance at a high temperatures.
