Back 2 School: 4 Easy Decorating Tips for Your Furnished Home

by Anthony Moujalli in Insights & Tips

September’s here, and so is your new furnished apartment! You’re probably thrilled about saving cash on appliances, but maybe not so excited about the limitations on personalizing the space?

We get it. Don’t worry—just because it’s furnished doesn’t mean you can’t make it yours. We’ve got some quick, budget-friendly ideas to help you add your own vibe to your new place, no stress needed! With over 350 COSMOS LAC spray paint shades, 3 different finishes, and a variety of special effect spray paints, you can create standout DIY decor that transforms any room.

4 Tips to Make It Your Own

Tip 1: Upgrade with DIY Portable Furniture

Got an old side table, stool, or trolley? Or maybe you picked up some budget furniture that needs a glow-up? Grab your favorite spray paint and turn it into something fresh in just minutes! Whether you want to keep it sleek and simple or go bold with color, COSMOS LAC sprays make it happen. Want some back-to-school inspo? Check out our pro tips right here.

Tip 2: Play with Fabrics

You might not be able to paint the walls, but guess what? Fabrics are your secret weapon. Curtains, bed sheets, throws, and cushions can totally change the vibe of a room. Get creative with bold combos and textures to cover up any furniture you’re not a fan of. And if you own a piece, try reupholstering it with fabric that ties it all together!

Tip 3: Curate Cozy Corners

Adding personality is all about the details! Create cozy little corners by decorating shelves, small furniture pieces, or wicker baskets with items that make you smile—souvenirs, candles, or tiny decor pieces. Give these items a facelift by spray painting them in your favorite shade or finish, whether it’s satin, glossy, or chalk effect. The right touch can completely refresh a space.

Tip 4: Stylish Room Dividers for the Win

Open-plan spaces can sometimes feel cold or chaotic. A stylish room divider not only creates cozier, more defined areas, but it can also hide that one corner you’re not feeling. Spray it in your go-to color or give it a unique texture (think marble, sand, or granite) with our EASY MAX EFFECT sprays. Plus, it’s portable, so you can move it wherever you need when guests come over (but you didn’t hear that from us ).

Remember, every new beginning brings a mix of anxiety and excitement—but also a chance to explore and make a space your own! With COSMOS LAC and these tips, you’ll be off to a great start. Looking for more inspiration? Dive into the COSMOS LAC Blog and get ready to create!

How To Choose Eco-Friendly Spray Paint Options?

Got a spray paint can and a bold colour ready for your next project? Most Aussies don’t realise that spray releases toxic fumes right where their family lives. This guide breaks down what makes eco-friendly spray paint truly green, so you can safeguard your home and the planet without compromising on a great finish. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmos Lac Australia (@cosmoslacau) The Invisible Threat Lurking in Your Next Home Project The Hidden Environmental Cost of Traditional Spray Paints Traditional spray paints are responsible for a chunk of Australia's 36,000 tonnes of annual VOC emissions from the paint sector, making up 6% of what we produce nationally. When sunlight hits these emissions, they turn into ground-level ozone and smog that make breathing harder and drag down air quality across entire communities. What Your Health and the Planet Are Breathing In Scientific research in the African Journal of Biomedical Research reveals alarming health consequences from VOCs and HAPs in paint products. Benzene is a proven carcinogen linked to leukaemia. Toluene hits your liver and reproductive organs hard, plus it gives you splitting headaches. Formaldehyde sets off asthma attacks and raises your chances of getting cancer. The research documents four critical categories: Respiratory impacts cause throat irritation progressing to COPD and permanent lung damage. Neurological effects produce memory problems and coordination issues, potentially developing into Parkinson's disease. Reproductive harm includes fertility problems and developmental disorders in children. Carcinogenic effects significantly increase leukaemia and organ cancer risks. Case studies show workers exposed for over ten years developed substantial respiratory and neurological diseases with higher cancer rates. Kids, expecting mothers, and anyone already dealing with health issues are the most at risk. The Australian Context: Why Your Choice Matters More Than You Think Unlike the US and Europe, Australia has no mandatory VOC limits for consumer spray paints. Our harsh UV and coastal conditions demand frequent repainting, releasing more VOCs each time. What the Paint Industry Doesn't Want You to Know About "Green" Labels Decoding VOC Content: The Numbers That Actually Matter Your average spray paint holds between 400 and 600 grams of VOCs in every litre. Each can you use pumps out about 3.3 kg worth of CO2 emissions. Paint feels dry, but harmful VOCs linger for 12–48 hours, polluting your home’s air. This is the reason why choosing an eco-friendly spray paint option is the best choice.  Australia's lack of mandatory limits means you're responsible for choosing protective products. Unlike California's strict regulations, Australian manufacturers face no legal requirements beyond voluntary schemes. Water-Based vs. Solvent-Based: Understanding the Real Difference Solvent-based paints release benzene, toluene, and xylene directly into your breathing space. Water-based, eco-friendly spray paint options now offer UV blocking exceeding 99%, corrosion protection reaching 98.8%, with 50% less embodied energy than solvent-based alternatives. Carbon Neutrality: More Than Marketing Hype True carbon neutrality isn't just talk. It means tracking every emission from start to finish, then balancing it out through legitimate certified projects. Australia's Climate Active certification backs up those promises with tough standards, so you're getting substance instead of spin. Sustainable Packaging: Why the Can Matters as Much as the Paint Aluminium and steel cans offer infinite recyclability. Over 80% of Most Australians toss things in their recycling bins, but we're only recovering about 52% of them. By 2025, the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation demands that all packaging be fully recyclable.  5 Non-Negotiable Features Every Eco-Friendly Spray Paint Must Have Feature #1: Low or Zero VOC Formulation (Breathe Easy While You Create) Go for water-based options with VOC levels sitting under 50 g/L. You'll keep your family safe from carcinogenic and neurotoxic nasties. Feature #2: Certified Carbon Neutral Production (Paint with Purpose) Real certification from the Carbon Footprint Standard or Climate Active proves that emissions have been measured, cut down, and balanced out through validated projects. Feature #3: Recycled and Recyclable Packaging (Complete the Circle)  Check for post-consumer recycled content and clear recycling symbols. Recycled metal uses just 5 to 25% of the energy that new materials require. Feature #4: High Coverage and Durability (Eco-Friendly Doesn't Mean Compromise)  Quality eco-friendly spray paint covers 5m² per litre, dries in 5 to 10 minutes, and blocks over 99% of UV for Australia's harsh sun. Feature #5: Legitimate Eco-Certifications (Trust, Verified) Look for GECA certification, ISO 14001:2015, or Global GreenTag certification recognised by Green Star and WELL Building Standard. The Greenwashing Tricks Costing Australians Thousands (And Harming the Environment) Vague Claims Without Third-Party Certification The ACCC defines greenwashing as any claim that makes products seem environmentally better than reality are. Vague claims like "green" or "sustainable" tell you nothing useful. Actual commitments need clear action plans you can verify with real proof, not fancy advertising talk. "Natural" Doesn't Always Mean Safe or Sustainable Under Australian law, the word "natural" doesn't actually mean anything legally binding. Visual elements like green packaging influence perceptions without providing facts. The Mobius loop may apply to only part of the packaging, not the entire product. Hidden VOCs in "Low-VOC" Products Products labelled "low-VOC" may still release harmful compounds not disclosed on labels. Technical compliance doesn't guarantee safety if specific harmful chemicals remain at risky concentrations.

DIY Spray Paint for Garage Doors and Exterior Fixtures

That faded garage door is doing more than looking tired. It's quietly lowering your home's value while your letterbox, door frames, and outdoor fixtures whisper stories to the neighbours you'd rather they didn't hear. Here's what professional painters rarely admit: you don't need thousands of dollars or expert skills to transform your exterior. The right DIY spray paint techniques and products built for Australia's brutal climate deliver professional results in just one weekend. This guide reveals the science-backed methods that deliver durability, beauty, and protection for years to come. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmos Lac Australia (@cosmoslacau) Why Professional Painters Don't Want You to Know These Spray Paint Secrets Professional Results Without the Professional Price Tag There's a reason pros reach for spray cans instead of brushes. Spray application atomises paint into thousands of tiny particles that land evenly across every surface contour. Brushes can't compete with that level of uniformity. The result? No brush marks. No roller stipple. Just smooth, factory-grade coverage. Thinking about hiring a professional to paint your garage door? Expect quotes well over a thousand dollars. That same project, tackled with quality aerosol spray paint, costs less in materials. You're not sacrificing quality for saving, but simply cutting out the labour markup. Even Coverage on Complex Surfaces and Hard-to-Reach Areas Traditional tools struggle with recessed panels, hinges, and textured surfaces. They skip details that spray paint captures effortlessly. Brushes leave bristle marks in corners. Rollers can't reach into grooves. But spray application wraps around edges, flows into recesses, and creates uniform coverage on uneven surfaces without the physical contact that causes drips and sags. The Australian Sun's Silent Attack on Your Exterior Paint (And How to Fight Back) UV Resistance: Your First Line of Defence Against Harsh Sunlight Australia's UV radiation levels exceed global benchmarks in ways that devastate unprepared coatings. Perth, Brisbane, and Darwin cop more than 7,000 MJ/m² of UV radiation annually. That's significantly harsher than Miami's 6,500 MJ/m², the global benchmark for extreme sun exposure testing. UV-B radiation attacks organic coatings at the molecular level, shattering the polymer chains that bind paint together. Studies in Nature Communications reveal that advanced TiO2 nanoparticle formulations retain 99.5% solar reflectance after UV exposure, matching one full year of Florida sun. That's roughly equivalent to what Australian coastal cities endure. Basic acrylic paints break down when UV rays hit them hard enough. Fluorinated formulas rely on tough carbon-fluorine molecular bonds that resist this kind of sun damage. Spray paints loaded with UV-blocking additives and modern polymer chemistry stay intact through multiple Australian summers. Corrosion Protection for Coastal and Humid Environments Coastal homes deal with salty air and constant moisture attacking metal surfaces. Good spray paint creates a sealed barrier blocking oxygen and water from reaching bare metal. Look for cans with marine-grade corrosion inhibitors if you're within sight of the ocean. Temperature Cycling Durability: From Summer Heat to Winter Cold Australian garage doors experience extreme temperature swings. Australian garage doors reach 60-70°C during summer days before dropping to 10-15°C overnight. Better spray paints have flexible resins that handle this expansion and contraction without splitting. They maintain a tight seal through thousands of heat-cool cycles. The 5-Minute Surface Prep Mistake That Ruins Everything Essential Cleaning and Degreasing Steps Most DIY paint jobs fail because of poor surface prep. Paint sticks through two mechanisms: mechanical grip and chemical bonding. Get the prep wrong, and everything fails.  Research demonstrates that proper surface preparation achieves hardness improvements of 502-1040 HV through optimised mechanical interlocking. Properly cleaned surfaces allow paint molecules to form covalent bonds directly with the substrate at an atomic level. Those tiny molecular bonds deliver serious grip. The problem? They won't form if there's dirt, oil, or contamination in the way. Skip the cleaning, lose the bond. Degreasing strips away oils that block paint from bonding at the molecular level. Light sanding creates the texture profile needed for mechanical interlocking. Here's the hard truth: poor prep causes even premium paints to peel prematurely.  When to Prime (and When You Can Skip It) Recoating existing paint in decent shape? Skip the primer. Just clean and lightly sand. But always prime bare metal, badly weathered surfaces, or when covering dark colours with lighter shades. These situations demand an extra base layer for proper coverage and adhesion. The DIY Spray Paint Technique Professionals Use (But Never Share) The 25-30cm Rule for Perfect Coverage Pros know that spray distance determines finish quality and how long the paint lasts. Studies show that holding the can 25-30cm away reduces coating porosity below 1%, which is the sweet spot for corrosion resistance and durability. Closer distances create excessive coating thickness that leads to runs and sags. Too much distance lets solvents evaporate mid-air, so the paint lands dry and rough. Keep your can 25-30cm from the surface for consistent thickness and the best rust protection. Distance consistency matters more than speed. Thin, Multiple Coats Beat One Thick Layer Every Time Professional technique involves building coverage through multiple thin passes. Light coats dry fast, letting each new layer bond properly. Three thin passes always outlast and outperform one thick coat in every measure that matters. Timing Between Coats: Patience Pays Off Most quality aerosol formulations allow recoating after 3-5 minutes—just enough time for surface solvents to flash off. This rapid recoat capability means you can complete a full three-coat application in 15-20 minutes.The Spray Paint That's Better for Your Home (and the Planet) Cosmos Lac has achieved carbon neutrality without compromising performance.

Revamp Your Kitchen Cabinets with Spray Paint

Your kitchen cabinets are driving you mad, aren't they? Those dated doors mock you every morning whilst your coffee brews, and you're secretly calculating how much a full renovation would cost—only to feel your stomach drop at the figures.  Here's what the renovation industry doesn't want you to know: most kitchen cabinets don't actually need replacing. They just need a proper transformation using the right techniques and materials. With professional-grade cabinet spray paint and proven methods, you can achieve stunning results that rival expensive makeovers at a fraction of the cost. This guide reveals exactly how Australian homeowners are transforming their kitchens in weekends, not months. Stop Throwing Away Thousands on Kitchen Replacements When Your Cabinets Aren't Actually Broken The True Cost of Cabinet Replacement in Today's Market Kitchen cabinet replacement costs have skyrocketed in recent years. Full kitchen renovations can cost tens of thousands of dollars, with cabinet replacement typically representing the largest portion of your budget. You're often paying significantly more for new cabinet boxes and doors that may not be substantially better than your existing ones. Much of these expenses go toward labour, markup, and profit margins rather than actual materials, with additional costs for installation, disposal, and extended kitchen downtime. When Good Cabinets Go Bad: Signs Your Kitchen Needs a Refresh Not every kitchen problem requires a sledgehammer solution. Most cabinet problems are purely cosmetic. Look for faded finishes, scratches, outdated colours, or sticky surfaces from cooking grease. These problems can be fixed easily with the right approach. You only need replacement when there's serious structural damage like loose joints, water warping, or doors that won't shut properly. Knowing the difference between cosmetic and structural issues saves you thousands. Why Smart Homeowners Are Abandoning Traditional Renovation Methods for This Game-Changing Alternative The Science Behind Professional-Grade Cabinet Transformations Modern cabinet spray paint isn't the same product your grandfather used in his garage. Today's formulations represent decades of chemical engineering specifically designed for kitchen environments. Successful cabinet transformations depend on understanding paint chemistry and adhesion science that most DIY guides completely ignore. Surface energy relationships prove critical for long-lasting results. Research shows that 180-grit sandpaper creates optimal surface roughness for both mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding. We’re not talking guesswork here, but actual science. Advanced coating systems now achieve contact angles of 119° for superior water resistance through rosin-CO2-polyurethane formulations. Proper surface preparation determines whether your makeover lasts two years or twenty. The molecular bonds formed during correct application create a coating system that handles daily kitchen use, heat, moisture, and cleaning chemicals. This technical foundation proves spray painting isn't just cosmetic but scientifically sound. Why Spray Paint Outperforms Brush-On Alternatives Brush application simply cannot achieve the molecular-level coverage that spray systems provide. Why? Brushes create microscopic valleys that trap dirt and grease. Spray application delivers uniform coverage with consistent thickness, eliminating those telltale brush marks that scream amateur work. The atomisation process breaks paint into tiny particles that settle into every pore and crevice of your cabinet surface. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmos Lac Australia (@cosmoslacau) The Cabinet Spray Paint System That Makes Expensive Contractors Obsolete (And Why They Don't Want You to Know) Climate-Resistant Formulas That Stand the Test of Time Australia's harsh climate needs specialised paints that cope with temperature swings, humidity, and intense UV. WorkSafe Queensland mandates specific spray painting requirements, including minimum air movement and precise temperature controls for professional applications. Optimal application occurs at 20-25°C with relative humidity between 42-65%. These aren't arbitrary numbers but represent the conditions where paint chemistry functions perfectly. Proper environmental control directly influences coating durability and determines whether your makeover survives Australia's harsh climate conditions. The Australian Building Codes Board requires a kitchen mechanical exhaust of 50 litres per second or natural ventilation equivalent to 5% of the floor area. Carbon Neutral Options: Sustainability Meets Style Going green doesn't mean sacrificing quality. Today's eco-friendly paints match traditional durability while cutting environmental impact. Carbon-neutral manufacturing and recyclable packaging tick Australia's sustainability boxes. Low-VOC formulas clean up your indoor air without compromising performance. Finish Types Decoded: High Gloss vs. Satin vs. Ultra Matte High gloss provides maximum durability and easy cleaning—perfect for busy families. The reflective surface highlights quality application but also reveals imperfections, making preparation crucial. Satin finishes offer excellent durability with subtle elegance, hiding minor surface irregularities whilst maintaining good cleanability. Ultra matte delivers sophisticated modern looks but needs more careful cleaning and maintenance. The Exact Step-by-Step Method That Eliminates Every Common DIY Disaster Essential Prep Work That Guarantees Professional Results Professional preparation separates success from disaster. The scientific theories behind paint adhesion include mechanical interlocking, chemical bonding, and surface energy optimisation. Proper surface preparation creates the 10 dynes/cm surface energy differential needed for optimal paint wetting. This precise preparation translates to professional-grade results lasting 10-15 years versus amateur applications that fail within 2-3 years. Success comes from understanding adhesion science, not just following generic instructions. Clean thoroughly with degreasing agents that remove cooking residue without substrate damage. Sand lightly with 180-grit paper for optimal texture. And, lastly, remove all dust with tack cloths since contamination compromises adhesion. Application Techniques for Flawless Coverage Spray application creates superior molecular contact compared to brush methods through precise control of droplet size and distribution. Quality applications achieve 65-80% transfer efficiency when proper techniques are employed. Getting that droplet size right stops overspray waste and ensures full coverage. To avoid all that, know your drying and curing times to avoid orange peel texture, runs, and adhesion problems. Keep consistent spray distance and overlap patterns. Use only thin, even coats. And don’t even attempt to cover everything in one go. Allow proper flash time between coats for optimal molecular bonding. Pro Tips for Avoiding Costly DIY Mistakes Temperature and humidity control prevent most application disasters. Work during stable weather conditions, avoiding windy or humid days that compromise finish quality. Remove hardware completely rather than attempting to spray around it. This professional approach eliminates overspray issues and allows complete coverage of all surfaces. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmos Lac Australia (@cosmoslacau) Your Complete Arsenal for Weekend Kitchen Transformation Success Tools and Materials Checklist Quality results require proper equipment. You'll need professional spray gear, 180-grit sandpaper, degreasers, tack cloths, good masking tape, and quality kitchen paint. Don't cheap out on paint. After all, premium stuff covers better and lasts longer. Find Your Perfect Colour Match Consider your kitchen's lighting conditions when selecting colours. Natural light shows true colours, while artificial lights can change how they look completely. Test your colour choices under different lighting before you commit. Feeling unsure? Use modern neutral palettes to get that timeless appeal. You can use bold colours in creating statement looks.
