how to create rose gold metallic shelving

Metallic-Rose-Gold-Shelving

If you’re looking for a quick and effective IKEA hack, look no further! With some simple flat-pack building skills and a can of Rust-Oleum, the plain metal and tempered glass IKEA Vittsjö shelving unit can go from mass-produced cheap to bespoke and unique.

Shimmering metallic tones give this shelving unit a high-end edge, but if silver isn’t your thing and you’re ready to go beyond gold, why not update your selves with Rust-Oleum’s trend-setting millennial pink hue, Rose Gold Metallic.

No one will ever guess where you got this pretty little number after this quick and easy DIY. For a step-by-step guide, follow our easy tips or hit play on the video below…

  2. Wipe the frame with a clean, damp sponge or cloth and allow this to dry before proceeding to the next step.

  3. Move the metal frame to a well-ventilated space and place on top of a large dustsheet or some old newspapers. You may want to cover the surrounding area with additional dust sheets / newspaper to protect from spray mist.

  4. Holding the can approximately 30cm away from the metal frame. Apply up two coats of Rust-Oleum Surface Primer, leaving at least four hours in between each coat.

  5. Take your can of Rust-Oleum Rose Gold Metallic and shake thoroughly. Hold the can approximately 30cm from the surface of the frame and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping with each stroke. For best results whilst spraying keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart.

  7. Place the glass tops into the finished frame and admire your brand-new expensive shelving.
