Create your own outdoor oasis

(NC) – Now that the warmer weather is here, it’s time to transform your outdoor space into a five star oasis. Try these quick and easy do-it-yourself projects that will have a big impact without breaking the bank.

Just Like New, Just Like That One of the easiest things to do to instantly improve your entertaining space is to spruce up your patio furniture with a fresh new look. Try a paint like Rust-Oleum’s Painter’s Touch which works on wicker, metal or wood and comes in a variety of colours. Be daring and create a South Beach style with bright colours like berry pink and Caribbean blue or go for Hamptons chic with winter gray.

Pretty up pathways Another trick that people often forget is changing the colour or texture of their stairs and pathways. Liven up existing outdoor stone or concrete walkways with a simple coating of concrete stain or by applying some texture with a Stoneffects finish. All it takes is a small change like this to make a big difference on the look of your backyard.

Containers, pots and urns Pots come in all sorts of sizes and can be an easy way to spruce up an outdoor space. Revitalize your plant containers with fun colours that can be changed year after year. Use a no-fuss spray paint like Universal in two or three complimentary colours to add instant style to your garden.

Turn your barbecue into hot stuff And finally, if you’ve got a tired looking BBQ, cover up rust spots or chipped paint with a high heat spray paint in a classic black or add some style with a copper finish.
