Gold is everywhere at the moment. I can’t even browse the home decor isles at Target for fear that everything might jump into my cart and I go broke. Plus, my husband doesn’t share my obsession for all things gold – I have to sneak things in one at a time so he doesn’t notice. But really, why is it that a can of gold spray paint can transform something ugly into something fun and unique? Enter IKEA and the best gold spray paint hacks out there.

All your need for this beauty is a can of gold spray paint and some marble contact paper. Pick yourself up a VITTSJÖ shelving unit at IKEA for $79.99 and assemble the frame. Spray the whole thing with two to three light coats of gold spray and leave to dry. While it’s drying cover the fiberboard shelved in the marble contact paper and add to frame once dry. Style with books, glassware and any other items you would like to display!

6. Lamp
Gold lamps make such an elegant addition to any room, but is it just me, or are lamps super expensive? I mean, I know they play a big part in decor, but I just can’t bring myself to spend $60 for a table lamp. BUT I will happily pay $20 for a cheap table lamp and a can of spray paint. This is going on the must-have list for my next IKEA trip!
