There’s no doubt that new furniture and accessories can enhance the décor of any room in your home. Unfortunately, they can easily cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Instead of purchasing new, why not upcycle the things you already have? You can transform a garage sale chandelier into the centerpiece of your dining room – or turn a piece of furniture that’s been stored in the attic into something truly spectacular. All you need is some paint and a little imagination to redecorate your home on a “real world budget.”
Here are a few decorating ideas from the color experts at Rust-Oleum®:
-
- Refinish and recycle old furniture. Home trends come and go, but giving chairs, tables, bookshelves, and other furniture a new finish is an easy way to make keep them stylish for years to come. Why not double your decorating dollars by using Rust-Oleum® Ultra Cover 2X spray paint? It has double the coverage of other general purpose spray paints, so you can complete twice the number of projects. Tap into the latest home decorating trends by incorporating bright, rich colors such as Eden or Lagoon. Or, try neutral tones like Blossom White, Black, Dark Walnut or Nutmeg for a traditional look that’s sure to always be in style. Ultra Cover 2X is available in over 70 different colors to suit any décor and allows you to achieve a high-end look on a low-end budget.
- Light up your life with color. Painting lamps and chandeliers, and refinishing those out-dated contractor grade brass fixtures, is a great way to add a touch of the unexpected to any room without spending a small fortune. Try one of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust® new Textured Metallic spray paints, like Moonlit Copper or Metallic Silver on your existing lamps or lighting fixtures to transform a bland, out-of-date room into a stylish, contemporary space.
