We’ve all lusted after those golden home accessories at least once, but they can just be so pricey!
Fear not! Armed with a bottle of gold (or any metallic color, really) spray paint, we can transform anything into a chic accent piece for any room.
And I mean anything.
Espresso Beans

A bag of whole coffee beans can sell for as little as $10. Spray paint those beans gold and use them to fill a vase! You can do this with any kind of beans, too. Pinto, black… buy them un-cooked and spray away to spruce up any clear container used for decoration.
Photo Frames
So fancy!
Upgrade your photos instantly by taking a bottle of gold spray paint to the frames. Silver and copper spray paint look amazing here as well, and you can mix and match among your wall’s photo arrangement.
Faux Flowers
A good look for any flower.
Stop by your local dollar store and get to work! This is a super inexpensive way to achieve some sparkle. These work best in the fall for gold, but can work beautifully in the winter with silver spray paint.
Branches/Pine Cones

Great for arranging in vases among seasonal flowers or on a table as decoration for a family dinner. Don’t be shy with these! You can spray the whole thing, just the tips, just the bottom, or create an ombré effect.
Glassware (or silverware, or dishware…)

Add some variety to your table setting by painting stems of wine classes, spraying chargers (the large plate keep underneath your dinner plate) and even the stems of your silverware.
Furniture
Add a pop of neon color for a modern look.
Paint the lags of a table gold or the inside of a lamp shade to brighten up any room! Go for a vase too, and don’t feel like you have to spray the whole thing. Create a striped or chevron look by using painter's tape before spraying, then peeling it off once it’s dry.
NOTE: These are some great ways to either bring new life to old things around your house or to upgrade some cheap finds from the thrift or dollar store.
But remember: make sure you do your spray painting in a well-ventilated area, or outside, and make sure that children are properly protected from breathing in any chemicals.
