Lots of Paint

If you have a small garden space (or even a big one) painting a vibrant color like lavender blue or crimson red to everything that can be painted helps give a very invigorating feel and adds a nice punch to your Garden.  Suggested items that can be painted include the pots, garden furniture, fences or even the door. If your garden space is that which is located on the balcony of your apartment, the tip still stands with the vibrant colored pots and doors.  It is advisable to go for oil based or latex based paints or any exterior grade paints. If you want to paint metal, rust resistant paint is your best bet.

Fabrics

No mistake, fabric actually works for outdoors. Weather is it, rains and mildew?

In-expensive fabric such as recycle sheets, old bed sheets etc, works for outdoor usage. Having a slipcover over your old furniture in the garden brings the place back to life. The more creative you are with the fabric designs you choose; the more appealing the end result is. If the wet weather soaks up the material, the sun will simply dry it up.

Although these fabrics will not really last very long, you will always have new-old fabrics that will come for use at the end for a fresh new look all over again.

Heard of Concrete paint?

Concrete paints are a pretty new product in the market and is useful in bringing to life a boring grey, cracked concrete block.  Add some nice concrete bricks and build your own little ledge. Next step, splash the paint on it to bring the place to life. If you have a concrete slab you could consider making a nice chessboard by painting it. So be a little creative and add concrete blocks around your space while painting them green.

Painting concrete is just about as easy as painting a wall. First wash down the surface with diluted muratic acid, and use a stiff brush to remove all traces of dirt and grime.

Paint and allow drying thoroughly for a day or two, then sealing with an oil-based sealer.

Dig a front flower bed.

Dig a nice flower bed, especially at a curve near the drive way or at the edge of the walkway. It gives a nice look towards the besides, you’ll not only beautify your home but improve its value as well.

Lots of Pots

Pots are nice, they keep things clean, you can place them either in the garden or even in the house and maintenance isn’t all too difficult either. Keeping them in the garden can add to a systemic beauty of the garden or if you lack a garden space then keeping them in the balcony well placed can make your balcony your little home Garden.
