GARDEN PAINT IDEAS

Colour pop

If you’re short on space, use your walls to create impact. Paint your entire wall in a striking shade to add personality and fun without the faff of tending to flowers or putting up shelves.

Ashes of Roses in Intelligent masonry paint, £75 for 5ltrs; table in Phthalo Green and chair in Dorchester Pink, both in Intelligent exterior eggshell, £77.50 for 2.5ltrs, Little Greene

Curve appeal

Create a feature wall with a difference by painting your blank wall with a striking arch design. Simply draw out your arches, use curved masking tape along the edges and fill in your design using bold shades. We love the turquoise circle in the centre of this, too.

Chalky Blue, Fuchsia Pink, Clouded Yellow and Giddy Green, all Royal exterior paint, £19.20 per ltr, Protek
