All the wall

If you want to inject some low-maintenance fun into your garden, paint your walls in a stand-out shade like orange. The citrus hue has been proven to make you feel more energised, so if an extended party space is a top priority for your garden, add colour with paint, rather than plants, then fire up the barbecue.
