6 Ways to Update Your Outdoor Living Space with Paint

It seems like everyone is heading outdoors these days. Now warmer weather and sunshine are drawing us out. If your backyard or patio is more drab than fab, grab some paint and make some updates. Here are the 5 ways to update your outdoor living space with paint.

Color

The easiest change you can make is to add color to the landscape of your backyard. You don’t need to go overboard with a complete exterior paint job. There are ways to add color without the commitment of that.

Flowers

Adding some potted plants is a great way to add landscape and color to your outdoor area. Extra points are given for those who paint their planters in shades matching the hues. Since flowers come in so many options, choosing some that match your color palette and accessories is easy.

Accessorize

Pick some small areas to paint with an accent color. Look at lighting fixtures, house numbers, or window boxes. When it comes to your backyard, you have the ability to add lanterns, planters, fountains, or other landscaping options. Each of these items comes with the chance to add color and paint to it.

Front Door

Dramatic impact comes from changing the color of your front door. If your home leans more toward the cautious and neutral, go wild on your front door. Zillow suggests black or peppercorn to increase your curb appeal and value. The Realtor says go vibrant. Colors like red, green, yellow, and other vivid colors give homes a whimsical appeal. These options will work well if your home is neutral with little color in the accessories.

Outdoor Furniture

Outdated and rusty furniture can be made focal points again. Sand the furniture down, remove any rust and get some paint. Make sure you choose colors that go with the scheme of your backyard. Bright white, black, red, or teal are among the most popular choices for projects like this.

Porch Ceilings

To truly surprise visitors, paint the ceiling of your porch with a hint of color. Make it dreamy with a light blue or pastel yellow. It’s like sitting under a sunny sky regardless of the weather.

Outdoor Floors

Don’t think that paint is reserved for walls. Paint your deck or porch floor, with an appropriate deck or concrete paint. Neutrals are a widely chosen selection but don’t feel limited If you are working with wood, consider a stain that will both protect the wood, and give it some color.
