A simple and effective makeover
Is DIY really not your forte? Bet on a monochrome makeover, accessible to everyone! You don’t even have to draw the brushes: just bet on spray paint. Worried about going wrong with the choice of color? It all depends on the type of decor that makes you fall for it.
The trendiest effect at the moment is tone-on-tone furniture. To succeed, the shade must be exactly the same. Most paint publishers offer their different colors in a wide variety of formulas – for wood, for metal – and finishes. If the “tone on tone” effect hits home indoors, it works just as well on the balcony or on the terrace: think about it to give new life to your antique garden furniture!
If you want to give more relief to the decoration, opt for an identical color, but for a slightly lighter or darker shade.
A few old wooden chairs repainted in wood, and here is a dazzling contrast with the Klein blue of the terrace. Like what: no need to be a DIY specialist to revamp old furniture and make the most of it!
Are you worried about bad taste? If you are not very comfortable with the associations of colors, trust the decor of the room in which you are going to install your makeover furniture. If you have opted for colored walls, choose the complementary color for the furniture. A trick that also works indoors, as evidenced by this very trendy mini garden furniture!
