The long hot days of summer are tantalisingly close. Be ready to make the most of every moment of sunshine by creating a tropical paradise right outside your patio door. It's easy to get the look, thanks to International inspiring range of specialist paints.
With a little help from Yacht Varnish, Japlac and even Appliance Paint, you can dress up the decking or gear up the garden so that it's looking sizzling, even if the weather doesn't quite oblige!
Bring the tropical look into the heart of the garden by dressing up your plant pots and decorating even the dullest of garden furniture.
A hot and tropical look has been created using standard ceramic planters and painting them with Japlac High Gloss Enamel Cream. Choose a suitably exotic stencil and you'll turn a boring garden pot into a wonderful work of art. Japlac range is available in 12 colours, including Arctic White, Cream, British Racing Green, Chocolate Brown, Navy Blue, Jet Black, Canary Yellow, Signal Red, Gold, Silver, Metallic Blue and Stainless Steel.
The cheapest plastic stool can be given a magical makeover by simply spraying it with Appliance Paint. Tatty plastic can be transformed in an instant and you have cool chic to complement your luxury looking pot. International easy-to-use Appliance Paint is also available in white, as a brush-on paint.
Wicker furniture for exterior use can be very expensive. Here's a quick tip for a season's worth of fantastic furniture, without having to pay it off all year. Use Yacht Varnish on any wicker product and it will keep them looking good all through the summer. You can also have a quick rustle around a jumble sale for an old pine table which will, again, last the summer long if you treat it with International Yacht Varnish.
