Interior Metallic
Paint Ideas
Using metallic paint is an excellent way to add brilliance and style to your interior decor. Thanks to the wide variety of products and finishes available, you can give a metallic shine to just about anything you wish. With a little prep work and imagination, the possibilities are just about endless.
Walls
Just as you can paint your walls in matte or satin finishes, you can now also purchase paint in metallic finishes, such as those in Ralph Lauren's Regency Metallic line. You apply this paint just like any other interior paint, and you can use it to paint an entire room, accent walls, or in patterns to complement your existing wall color.
Consider adding metallic stripes by marking evenly spaced boundaries with painter's tape. Consider adding a border around the ceiling and/or baseboards of the room. Alternatively, use stencils to add a patterned border or to create the look of wallpaper by repeating the pattern across the surface of the wall.
Furniture
Depending on the material used to construct your furniture, you have a few different options for painting it with metallic paint. Give a fresh, shiny coat of paint to plastic furniture with a product like Krylon Fusion for Plastic. This paint is specifically designed to bond with plastic and dry fully without dripping. You can also find metallic spray paint that is appropriate for use on wicker, wood and even glass.
You may wish to paint the entire piece of furniture, or use the paint to add a pattern or elegant finish to the existing color.
Accessories
By using similar reasoning employed when painting furniture, you can paint your home accessories. Paint your plastic bathroom and desk accessories with Krylon Fusion for Plastics in your favorite metallic finish to get the look of more expensive metal items without having to pay a lot of money.
You can also give new life to dated light fixtures, vases, picture frames and mirrors. Whether your taste runs to soft, brushed metals or bright chrome, you can make virtually every element in your home conform to your chosen decor simply by spraying on a coat or two of paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
