Style up your patio

As well as easy fixes like painting a wall or buying a colourful new parasol, think about giving your patio furniture a makeover. Give wood or metal items a new look with Ronseal Garden Paint (£9 for 750ml, diy.com), which comes in a choice of on-trend shades including pale pink Cherry Blossom, dark Charcoal Grey and inky Midnight Blue. Once you’ve done the makeover add throws and cushions in complementary colours as a quick way to layer up the look.
