Refresh your outdoor entertaining area
Whether you’ve got a pool house, a big deck with a dining area or a small walled courtyard, it’s time to get your outdoor area ready for the warmer weather. We’re here to get you started with a lick of paint, a pop of colour, and tips on how to give your furniture a refresh. Colours featured: Dulux Domino (trim and doors) and Dulux Colorbond® Shale Grey™ (exterior)
Update your area with paint
A new coat of paint can easily transform your outdoor entertaining area. Classy vivid whites create a crisp, modern vibe, while pretty pastels add a sense of luxury. If you’re feeling brave, try a bold contrasting colour scheme to create a fun focal point.
No matter what exterior paint colours you choose, make sure it complements not just your garden but the outdoor paint colour of your home for a cohesive look.
Add some texture
Breathe life into your outdoor area with a wall texture so good you’ll want to reach out and touch it. With a light, rock-like finish, Dulux Texture is fun to apply and easy to personalise. In three different types of coverage and a wide range of colours, it’s perfect for walls big and small.
Freshen up furniture and plants
If you’re not feeling brave enough to add a splash of colour to your outdoor walls, try starting with painting your furniture and plant pots.
If your furniture’s been out in the elements and is looking weathered, a bright new paint job can make them look as good as new. Go bold with a contrasting colour, or stick with a monochrome palette that compliments your colour scheme.
You can even make a project of painting your plant pots in block colours, with patterns or with a glossy or marble finish. Pick a paint that will be durable in all weathers such as Dulux Aquanamel® or Weathershield®, so your pieces will last for years to come (or until you decide to change them up again).
