Sprays for creative souls or effects that everyone can do at home
Do you want to create original decorations at home? COLORIT effect sprays open up endless possibilities.
You don't have to be a professional artist or own a workshop to create original decorations at home. All you need is an idea, a few commonly available items and the right effect spray to turn an ordinary pot into a modern sculptural piece. COLORIT offers a wide range of creative sprays that allow you to create surfaces that resemble chalk, marble or fine sand - without heavy equipment.
Overview of effect sprays for interior and DIY
Chalk Spray (chalk effect)
- Matte, velvety smooth finish with a slightly vintage look
- Great for wood, ceramics, metal and paper
- Easily sanded to create a patina
- Suitable for shabby chic and rustic styles
Marble Effect Spray (marble effect)
- Creates a subtle veining that resembles real marble
- Applied in a thin layer over the base colour
- Ideal for vases, pictures, frames, pot covers
- Combines well with acrylic sprays
Sand Effect Spray (sand finish)
- Coarser texture similar to fine stone or concrete
- Suitable for industrial or minimalist decorations
- Suitable for plastic, metal, wood and ceramics
- Appears very authentic on surfaces such as a concrete bowl or a statue
Where to use them? Ideas for your home
Effect sprays open up completely new possibilities in the field of home accessories. Here are a few ideas that you can do even without previous experience:
- A ceramic vase from a second-hand shop? Spray it with Chalk spray in a pastel shade and add a ribbon made of natural string.
- A wooden toy box? Sand spray gives them a natural look and protection.
- Paper boxes or gift wrap? Just use Marble Effect to turn plain packaging into a luxurious accessory.
- Metal chair or mirror frame? Chalk or Sand spray gives them a whole new look.
- A plywood wall decoration? Spray it with a combination of Chalk and Marble and add handwritten lettering.
How to work properly with effect sprays
For a professional look, there are a few basic rules to follow:
- Always clean and degrease the surface. Use a technical cleaner (e.g. Cosmos Lac Cleaner).
- For absorbent surfaces, use a primer. For wood or paper, a light acrylic primer is sufficient.
- Shake the spray for at least 2 minutes. Effect sprays contain special particles that need to be dispersed.
- Paint at a distance of approx. 25-30 cm. For the Marble effect, a really light overlap is sufficient.
- Allow to dry thoroughly. Usually 1-2 hours, full curing can take 24 hours.
To increase the durability of the decoration, especially if it comes into contact with water or sun, we recommend a final repaint with a clear varnish (e.g. Cosmos Lac Clear Varnish).
Colour matching and combinations
COLORIT follows the trends and offers sprays in shades that you will also find in interior design magazines. Combinations such as the chalk base Black Marble effect or the concrete surface natural wood details look great.
The creative sprays from the COLORIT range are the ideal choice for those who want to create at home but don't have access to a professional workshop. They are simple to use, but the result looks sophisticated and spectacular. Just don't be afraid to experiment - old things will get a new lease of life and you'll get the urge to create again.
