Interior trends are everchanging, but with the right paint, updating your furniture can be easy. The trick is knowing which colours and finishes will breathe new life into your existing items.
Follow 5 easy steps to get you started.
With an open mind and a little elbow grease, you can elevate the look and feel of your home without having to overhaul an entire space. Simply follow these four DIY tips to transform old or outdated furniture into contemporary pieces.
Stylish furniture doesn’t have to come straight off the showroom floor. Instead, explore local op-shops and antique stores for pre-loved pieces that can be easily upcycled into something special.
Something as simple as a couple of worn vases can be brought into the 21st century with a fresh coat of Duramax® Chalky Finish Classic Duck Egg and Duramax® Chalky Finish Parisian White, creating an eye-catching new display that looks fresh out of a catalogue.
Nothing adds a little glam to a space like a metallic touch. Any old bowl, candle or lamp base can be quickly transformed into statement styling with something like Duramax® Bright Finish Spray Paint.
This high-performance spray paint can add bright and durable touches of Chrome, Copper Rose and Gold to any number of surfaces, instantly upcycling them into chic new accessories.
