Add a fresh dash of colour into your space with these quick and easy spray paint projects.
- Tree Branches
For that touch of nature without the raw rustic feel, simply spray a dried tree branch in a shade that matches your home interior. - Cork trivets
Protect your countertops with cork trivets stenciled with your favourite moustache motif. Do also for drink coasters to create a matching set at home. - Floor mat Don’t be too quick to throw out an old doormat. Charming paw prints in neon pink will no doubt draw oohs and aahs from your guests.
- Memo boardAdopting a nautical theme for your desk or console table? Make your pin board the focal point with blue and white waves. It’s functional while keeping with the theme!
- Wall clockPaste round stickers in a uniform pattern all around the clock frame and spray it over in vivid orange to create a quirky dotted clock.
- MugsPersonalise your coffee mug with a shot of colour on the handle. No more mixing it up with the other mugs in the communal pantry.
- BasketsRattan or straw baskets can be refreshed using this method to get the dip-dye effect. Wrap and tape off the top half of the basket, leaving the bottom half exposed.
- Glass bottlesUpcycle an old soda bottle by transforming it into a retro-inspired vase. For a modern take, have it completely covered in the same colour.
- Wooden pegsDress your trusty clothespins up in vibrant hues. To use them for the laundry, apply an extra layer of varnish to seal in the colour.
