Ready, set, spray!
1. Go potty…
Kate La Vie shows us that IKEA cacti pots can look the part with just a touch of Copper spray paint (and a black sharpie pen)
2. Add sparkle!
Whether they are £20 or 20p wedding accessories, such as these letters, can be transitioned from grim to glam with a 10-minute glitter spray paint makeover.
3. Upgrade desk accessories
Grey, uniform and uninspiring. There are plenty of reasons to add colour to your desk accessories! Adding a bright, canary yellow spray paint gives them an expensive feel.
4. Revive radiators
The simplest yet most effective spray paint job there is. Rust-Oleum Radiator Enamel spray paint does wonders for the entire room.
5. Upgrade plant pots
Simple yet effective. Adding colour and brightening your outdoor space can be achieved just by upgrading your basic plant pots. Try Rust-Oleum Universal Spray Paint for a durable finish.
6. Make it metal
This red, plastic cake stand from IKEA was updated with Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint by blogger The Interiors Magpie who has transformed it into something a little more elegant. Behold!
7. Go glossy
This standard metal lampshade is glowing after it’s makeover with Rust-Oleum Mode Spray Paint. The glossy finish adds a luxe, light reflecting sheen.
8. Change the finish
Changing the texture of an object can provide an expensive-looking revamp. We transformed this plastic, heart-shaped book into a stone accessory with Rust-Oleum Stone textured spray.
9. Add detailing
Transforming the basic or bland can be as easy as implementing little design details to a piece. These metallic stripes we added to a simple side table create a stand out feature which adds a touch of luxury.
