It’s May and the sun is beginning to make more and more appearances, so it’s definitely time to think about brightening up and bringing a new look to the garden. Think about current trends or colours that you’d like to incorporate into the garden and then you just need the paint and pots.
Decorating cheap plastic or ceramic pots is an easy way to update the garden time and time again.
Head to diy or craft stores for paint or spray suitable for outdoor use and explore Pinterest for pattern or colour ideas.
Including: MakeItLoveIt tutorial design (top left)High street stores including Wilkos and any of the pound stores are great for getting basic plain pots and planters. For a better finish ensure cleaning the pots and a light sanding if old and tarnished to create the perfect base to design on. Set yourself up with outdoor primer, exterior sprays or paints and use a exterior varnish or lacquer to ensure a long lasting finish. Use masking tape or stencils to create modern designs with geometric influence, typography or embrace the popular dip/drop styles. And if you make a mistake it can simply be painted over.
With a few simple materials and tools, available from hobby stores or online, this DIY results in a gorgeous wall hanging for any room. Vary the colours according to your interior and vary the size depending on your space.
We love the look of stylish minimal brand Muuto’s wall hooks (designed by Lars Tornøe) but at a single dot starting price of around £10, mounting a selection of sizes can mount up in cost.
Discovering a couple of diy copies is always good to share and these simple methods are effective and look great.
We loved finding a cool diy on Facebook (credit: Ceri Horton Thomas) using two cheap products from IKEA – the LOSJÖN bathroom hangers (£4.75 for a pack of 5) with their basic IKEA 365+ cork coasters (80p for 2) simply glued over the top. This creates a simple minimal look both for hanging and as a extra you can pin items onto the cork – very versatile and easy to wall mount as the LOSJÖN are already designed to attach.
The second great tutorial is from GrilloDesigns using flat topped wooden cabinet knobs. The tutorial guides you simply through, how to convert them to be able to be wall mounted. Keep them plain wood, or stain or paint them!
Across the highstreet baskets of all sorts of styles are proving a popular choice for storage in the home with many current trends embracing the use of them within styling a room.
Why not try a diy version? A great project and resulting in a practical stylish piece of homeware. The diy tutorial from HappinessIsHomemade for a no-see rope basket is a simple and fun how-to from only a few materials – cotton piping cord (or rope), glue gun and glue sticks, a dish or bowl to use as a mouldy and parchment paper. All items easy to get hold of.
With creating beautiful outdoor living areas as important as indoor living, now, there is a drive towards great ranges of outdoor living furniture, accessories and soft furnishings to use. But why not try a DIY to keep the budget down?
Rugs make a huge difference to styling and outdoor rugs that are waterproof and hard wearing are growing in popularity.
We love this easy DIY tutorial from AnnsGardenPath.Blogspot using the humble garden hose as it’s base component. Simple and very effective this tutorial is step by step in guiding you to create your own. Use different colours and length to personalise the look and size.
