1 A LICK OF PAINT
If your garden furniture is in need of a refresh, take inspiration from the colours of your garden plants to give it an elegant and harmonious update. You could even give a plain garden bench an ombré effect by painting each slat a different shade. Try plum purples to soft green tones for a look that will work all year round.
