Residential Painters On Trend: Metallic Finish for Master Closets

Ladies, there aren’t many places in your home where you can escape to solitude from the children, spouse or other nagging to-dos. Residential painters suggest creating a woman cave in your closet with a metallic finish paint in a rich color.

While metallic finishes used to be relegated to the car in the driveway, a posh, modern take on the colors has made it into the home. CertaPro experts can help you choose from a full palette of colors and faux finish options.

Burgundy, mustard and grey are reinvented through finishes into copper, gold and silver. The metallic finish can be adjusted to create more or less shine, depending on preference.

To Apply a Metallic Finish:

Firstly, begin with clean and dry walls. Use a mild detergent mixed with water to clean the walls from top to bottom. Allow sufficient time for the walls to dry.

While they are drying, tape the trim and remove any furniture or clothing from the room.

Subsequently, start by painting a very even coat of your base color to the walls. Plan plenty of time to dry between coats.

Afterwards, it’s time for the metallic finish. Now the fun begins. Get a clean paint tray and pour your glaze in. Use a sea sponge to dab up the glaze; remove extra glaze by patting it on spare newspapers.

Finally, tap the glaze onto the wall, leaving plenty of the base coat showing through. Experiment with pressure and placement to get the result you’re looking for.

Take your Metallic Finish to the next level:

Create a truly lady-friendly dressing room by adding sparkles into the process. By matching your sparkle to the metallic finish, you can add a subtle shine or go bolder with more color.

Add a touch of whimsy by incorporating some glass beads to your design. The pieces will catch light and create an underwater feeling.

Utilize patterns to make a more industrial feel in your room. Some crosshatch or angular decor will give a masculine nod, if you have to share your closet.
