Bring footy flair to your furniture
Interior trends are everchanging, but with the right paint, updating your furniture can be easy. The trick is knowing which colours and finishes will breathe new life into your existing items.
With an open mind and a little elbow grease, you can elevate the look and feel of your home without having to overhaul an entire space. Simply follow these four DIY tips to transform old or outdated furniture into contemporary pieces.
Revamp your vintage pieces and op-shop finds
Stylish furniture doesn’t have to come straight off the showroom floor. Instead, explore local op-shops and antique stores for pre-loved pieces that can be easily upcycled into something special.
Something as simple as a couple of worn vases can be brought into the 21st century with a fresh coat of Duramax® Chalky Finish Classic Duck Egg and Duramax® Chalky Finish Parisian White, creating an eye-catching new display that looks fresh out of a catalogue.

Take your old decorations to a new level
Nothing adds a little glam to a space like a metallic touch. Any old bowl, candle or lamp base can be quickly transformed into statement styling with something like Duramax® Bright Finish Spray Paint.
This high-performance spray paint can add bright and durable touches of Chrome, Copper Rose and Gold to any number of surfaces, instantly upcycling them into chic new accessories.

Reawaken tired outdoor furniture
Weathering the elements all day can take its toll on outdoor furniture. Fortunately, beloved pieces can be revitalised with the right paint.
Dulux Aquanamel® and Dulux Weathershield® are tough, durable options that will not only give your outdoor furniture a fresh new look but also help it withstand harsh conditions in the future, thanks to their long-lasting protection. Opting for a colour like Mint Twist will also keep the new look fresh and timeless.
Create stunning vintage-look pieces

Its easy-to-apply formula achieves decades of intriguing ageing in moments, leaving you with a new sense of grandeur and character in older spaces.
When it comes to cost-effective renovation solutions, upcycling and revamping old furniture and decorative items with Dulux paints can create a fresh look that’s gentle on your back pocket. From transforming op-shop finds to upgrading old accessories, the DIY possibilities are endless with Dulux.
