🎨🌿 Want your garden to feel more spacious? A fresh coat of paint on your fence might be the trick! While many lean towards light hues, gardening expert Angela Slater suggests going dark. Why? Because deeper shades like black or graphite can make your garden feel bigger by putting the spotlight on your beautiful plants 🌸🌻.
Got loads of greenery? Try deep olive or navy for a more expansive vibe. But be cautious in small courtyard spaces – pastels like blues and soft greens can prevent it from feeling cramped. For themed gardens, don’t shy away from bright colours like yellows and oranges for a lively touch.
Looking to add more depth? An outdoor mirror placed strategically can create the illusion of hidden parts just waiting to be discovered. And if you really want to impress, surround the mirror with a climber-covered arbour for that ‘secret garden’ feel! 🌱🪞
Before you start, make sure you’ve got the right gear (paintbrush, sponge, or roller) and check that the weather’s on your side. Remember, your neighbours will appreciate a heads-up about your paint project.
Happy painting, and here’s to a garden that feels as spacious as ever! 🏡✨
