Paint Splatter Pineapple Home Decor
I was shopping with my family at Marshalls a couple weeks ago to find an outfit for an event. While browsing the home decor section I came across this silver pineapple. I really love pineapples in home decor but I actually have zero pineapples decorating my home. Just looking at it I was struck with a fun idea to get it to work with my home decor and colour scheme.
Creating this paint splatter pineapple home decor piece was a pretty simple process, making this a project anyone can tackle.
Start by picking out a home decor item you want to decorate. Please note you cannot do this to dishes you intend to eat off of.
Next choose 4-5 paint colors to work with – it’s easy to find colours to match your rooms colour scheme with BEHR premium plus ultra or BEHR Marquee paint. I chose to use Seared Gray, Essential Teal, Cameo White and Kiss & Tell. The first three colours are part of the colour scheme but Kiss & Tell was just such a pretty looking colour I had to go with it.
Set yourself up outside for this project with a large drop-cloth and at least two different paintbrushes. I found the paint splatter effect isn’t nearly as good when the paint is watered down. The effect was great using both the Premium Plus Ultra and the Marquee.
Start by splattering the darkest paint first. I started by doing two colours at a time then drying in between before moving on to the other two. I did the grey and teal first. The technique is pretty simple, just load your paintbrush with a small amount of paint near the end of the brush and flick it towards your object with your wrist.
Experiment with different angles and force to change up the look of your project. You are not going for a uniform look.
I allowed it to dry (about 15 minutes) before continuing on with my other two chosen colours. Again I did the darker colour first which was the pink and then finished off with the white.
Again the paint doesn’t take too long to dry but once it is dry to the touch it is safe to put your project on display!
That is a very fun DIY project.
I just love pineapples in home decor. I have a few pieces in my house 🙂
What a novel idea! I absolutely love that! Thanks for sharing this fabulous idea.
wow that looks amazing!
I’ve got to send this to my sister. She’s OBSESSED with pineapples. With here, it’s pineapple everything.
That is super cool looking! I love the look of splattered paint so much!
Cute, love the effect it gave!
That seriously looks like such a fun project. I would let my children help me with it. What a great idea to do!
Such an easy and pretty project. I love when I look at something I think… I can do that!
Okay, now this looks like so much fun to create and like it is something you would buy at an expensive store. How fun… Love it. Thanks for sharing.
That turned out super cute! I love pineapples in home décor too.
This looks fantastic. This is a great way to make something fresh. I will have to give this a try.
I love this pineapple. I want to make one for my living room. You did an amazing job.
Oh that looks so cool. I can already tell my daughter wants to do something like this. We’ll have to look around for some decorations when we go shopping.
How different! and a great way to add a pop of colors in your house! I love it 🙂
This is a simple and cute idea. I wonder what I could splatter.
That pineapple turned out really chic looking. You did a great job!
Well that is stinking creative! It would be fun to let my kids do pieces for their rooms!
That paint-on metal combination is very striking! It’s a very standout piece for a room!
This turned out so nice!! I never would have thought to do this to apiece like this! It adds a lto of character, I love the color choices!
fun project! I actually did this years ago when I made drapes, couldn’t find the colours I was looking for so got a plain fabric and used acrylic paints to splatter with. Made the drape first then hung them outside on the clothesline and threw paint at them.
That looks really neat, and I can think of several people who would like getting something like this for a gift.
You are so creative. My daughter and I would enjoy doing this.
you can expierment with spary can finishes like a clearcoat to protect it as well
Great way to add color to any decor!
My daughter is a fan of the TV show Psych, which had a pineapple hidden in each episode. She would love this!
I really like this. Very cool. I have a huge brass vase (My brothers call it a spittoon) that I could try this with.
That looks so modern and abstract! I love it! I bet it was a so much fun doing this too!
Cute idea to make it much more colorful and fun.
Wow, this turned out beautifully, looks really good a wonderful decoration piece. 🙂
So pretty and original!! Absolutely beautiful piece!
I absolutely love all the colors. It would go with any décor!
