Don't Buy New - Renew With Rust-Oleum

After finally taking the plunge and changing your living room from mute magnolia to this season's shade, you've realised none of your old accessories match. Rather than scouring the shops for replacements to suit your new look, take existing ornaments and spray paint them to match the new colour scheme in minutes, and at a fraction of the price.

The Rust-Oleum range of decorative spray paints has everything you need to transform items such as vases, picture frames and candlesticks with over 100 finishes to choose from. Inject instant colour into your accessories with the 'Painter's Touch' range of multi-purpose sprays - £5.49 for 400ml. We've taken vases and given them an instant makeover using Strawflower (Satin Finish), Spa Blue (Gloss Finish) and Sage Green (Gloss Finish). Arranging the vases together adds colour and interest to any interior scheme. With Rust-Oleum Metallic - £6.49 for 400ml – we've created an elegant and opulent look. Metallics create a feeling of optimism and luxury and work equally well with bright and muted colour schemes. The paints are made with real metal particles and come in six finishes. We've used Bright Gold, Chrome and Bright Copper on this set of vases. You'll find a single tin of Rust-Oleum spray paint goes a long way so you'll be able to complete more projects from the same can. To complement the metallic vases, we've sprayed some candlesticks (Chrome), a picture frame (Chrome) and a lamp pedestal (Gold). Spray painting is a quick, convenient and economical means of revamping the finish of everyday household items. In most cases you can simply wipe down the existing item and spray away – you'll see great results in just a matter of minutes. If you're painting a glossy or damaged surface you may wish to also use Rust-Oleum Surface Primer £5.49 for 400ml.
