Home decor is one thing I secretly love A LOT! However, I have quickly come to realise that it can be a bit pricy trying to get your house to look a certain way especially here in Nigeria.
One thing we lack the most is home decor – you know, those cute little bits you can use to quickly spice up the look of your living space; but trust, there’s always a DIY way to go about it.
So in today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you 3 simple ways to add gold accents to your living space using mainly spray paint and a few other bits and bobs you can easily access
#1 – Gold Flower Vase
What you’ll need
- An empty wine bottle
- Masking Tape
- Gold Spray Paint – Available on Jumia
- Old Newspaper
To achieve this, all you need to do is use your masking tape to cover the areas you don’t want to be painted in gold. Easy variations include straight lines around the bottle like the one I did, or diagonal lines across the bottle.
Once you’ve done that, Spray paint your bottle and leave to dry for 24 hours. Once it’s completely dry, take off your masking tape and your new Flower vase is ready to be used!
Top Tip! – Do not focus on one area as you spray so as to avoid the paint being too thick on a particular spot. Instead, spray paint your branches in layers until you get full coverage. Also, to achieve a clean finish, make sure your bottle is COMPLETELY clean and without an water, oil or glue stain.
#2 – Gold Himmeli Hanging Flower holder
What you’ll need
- Some thin straws
- Fish Line Rope
- Gold spray paint – Available on Jumia
- Old Newspaper
To start off this ornament, you need 4 long straw cuts and 8 short straw cuts. How to make this is best described through a video to be honest – So just scroll down and see below! ^_^
#3 – Gold Fruit Bowl
What you’ll need
Probably the easiest and most straightforward of the bunch. All you have to do it literally just spray paint the entire bowl and viola! Golden fruit bowl
Which of the 3 above is your favourite? 1, 2 or 3?

Love the straw idea. Great for the kids! Gonna test it without the paint first. Love the idea of hanging light things. We always seem to hang heavy items. Great thinking. Stacey
