With the Summer months hotting up, we’ve all been spending lot more time in the garden and have started to transform or update our outdoor areas budget-friendly. We have put together these simple but effective ways to update your outdoor living space.

10 Garden Ideas to Transform your Outdoor Space

Clean your Patio or Decking

Start by pulling up any plants or weeds that have grown in between the patio slabs and sweeping away the debris with a stiff brush. Using the same brush, you can then use soapy water to scrub the patio or decking or use a pressure washer to remove stubborn dirt and stains. We also have an extensive range of cleaning care items that will help with most of the paving cleaning here.

Spruce up a Tired Patio or Decking area by Painting

If not treated or painted, decking and paving can soon become stained with algae or weather. Painting the area will soon instantly freshen it up. We have a wide range of treatments, stains and paints that would be ideal for decking and paving.

Tidy up Flower Beds, Remove Weeds and Add Some Colour

This is perhaps the easiest way to spruce up your garden. Pull weeds from the roots, and give your flower beds a border with something simple like our range of sleepers. We have a wide range of garden care items from hoses, weed killer, plant food and fertilisers online now for your large or small garden.

Add Colour to your Garden by Painting your Fence or Shed

Add interest and colour to your garden by painting your garden fence or shed. Think outside the box and try something punchy, by using one of the colours available from Cuprinol that will add that pop you’re looking for.

Be Creative with your Plant Pots

Update any plant pots by adding a new lick of paint, decorating or repairing ones that have not made it through the winter.

Add Lighting around your Outdoor Space

Adding lighting to any garden will completely transform the space. Not only does it look wonderful at night, but it can also provide a great decorative feel during the day.

Add Decorative Accessories

Mirrors are not just for the home, they help bounce the light around if you have a particularly shady or dark spot in your garden and make it appear bigger. You can also buy items like multi-coloured lanterns and ornamental wooden or rustic stars to hang from the trees or fences.

Paint your Garden Furniture

Got some tired-looking garden furniture? There are so many fabulous paint products that come in an array of colours to use on furniture from Cuprinol. It doesn’t even have to be expensive garden furniture, the popularity of using old wooden pallets to create seating and garden tables is on the rise, and you could paint these to freshen them up.

Cosy up your Seating Area

Why not add soft furnishings to your seating area like throws and cushions and perhaps an outdoor rug!? This really has become a big trend in recent years.

Divide the Garden into Zones

And finally, if you don’t know where to start we have some great ideas, divide your garden into zones and tackle each area one at a time. Start with a seating area so you can make the most of your garden and make sure it is somewhere you want to sit. Create a divide from the seating area to the lawn with lots of potted plants, bamboo screens or ornamental grasses.
