Infuse Your Yard with Color

Spring in Miami is a season of color. Bringing new hues into your yard doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Color can come from any number of sources. With a bit of help from the experts at CertaPro Painters of Central Miami, you can find places to infuse your yard with color.

As you go through this list of opportunities to incorporate color, maintain a budget friend project by digging through the attic or basement for old and tired pieces. Update them with a thorough cleaning and painting – with your new color! If you do not have any items, visit some garage sales or local thrift stores to find pieces with good bones, but cosmetic deficiencies. This will help you to keep a small budget with big results.

When adding color, keep in mind the color palette you have currently on your home. If your current color scheme includes bright pops of color, you’ll want to stick to more neutral options for the additions. For homes with very neutral colors on them, this is a low-risk way to experiment with bright, vivid, or loud hues.

Outdoor Furniture

Seating furniture is a great place to add both living space outside and color to your yard. This could be in the form of a bistro table on the front porch or a lounging area on the back patio. Rather than stick with a typical black or white option, go for bold. Consider a blue or teal table and chairs, or add red or yellow to a swing.

Colorful Pots

Adding pots for plants to the front or back yard is a great way to incorporate color. There are two ways to do this. Add pots in different sizes and shapes. Use the one color you choose to create cohesion. The other approach is to make each pot it’s own. Choose colors in various shades to paint each individual piece. This works well if all of your colors are similar. For example, using all primary colors, or all variations of one primary color.

When planning this project, remember what you will be putting in the pots after painting. If you are going with flowering options, pair the color of the flowers to the pot color you choose. For plain greenery, you are safe to use anything.

Scatter the finished potted plants around the front or back yard to create a garden-like haven. The result will allow you to add plants and color all at once.

Flooring

Many Miami homeowners forget about patio and porch floors. This is a missed opportunity to include color into your space while being a bit more subtle. Painting a deck or patio floor is a DIY-task while creating a big impact. In addition, the paint or stain you choose will add color and protect the floor underneath. A fully finished outdoor area is inviting for evening drinks or morning coffee.

Accent Wall

Using an afternoon to paint a wall creates an accent outside, plus you get depth and style with the color. This works really well as a natural backdrop. If there is an outcove on your home or a garden against your fence, use that natural barrier to set you up with an area to paint. Putting a different color on a fence or along a wall can allow other plants or items to pop around it.

Outdoor Art

Gardens and yards are the perfect place to add a piece of colorful art that you like. This art is made to handle the extreme weather from the outdoors while remaining just as lovely as the day you brought it home.Try mosaic art, stepping stones or wind catchers.

Outbuildings

There are oodles of places to put color with paint in your exterior of your home if you pay attention. Does your yard have any structures beyond your home? What about adding a blue shed, red swing set, black trellis or other items. The list is endless if you pay attention to what you have.
