Inject Colour in Your Garden by Paint

I like to think the garden being an extension of our home and why not give our timber as much care as our interior walls?  I'm a strong believer in colour as you may have read in previous posts and the garden is no exception
In the past decade I've tried wood staining to keep the beauty of the grains of fine woods but how about decking and sheds?

I'm a personal fan of Shades Cuprinol and the shade I've used personally which I love is Urban Slate as can be seen in the pics . They have two versions one for decking and one for sheds and fencing.

I personally like the neutral colours o give the plants, shrubs and flowers a great backdrop and the last thing any of us need is to constantly change the colours of our exterior timbers with seasonal changes.
My hubby and I did both in the space of a bank holiday and were surprised at the ease of application. Painting the decking was awkward and our poor cat was desperate to join us in our venture but poor darling had to remain indoors but painting outbuilding was a breeze and quite therapeutic and got the gluten to have good work out!

~Just remember to look at all your outdoor furnishings and fixtures and also your interior palette of colours before choosing your paint and if for example you have a cooler tone of decor inside stay clear from the warmer tones especially country cream in the ready mixed range. Try to look at you interior and exterior as one to have a cohesive theme, say you have a pallet of greys inside you can choose darker grey outside due to it being in natural light it will give depth and extend your interiors outdoors.
