Colour advice please for a shed and fence , tiny ' garden'
Comments (10)I think the door of the shed attracts the eye much less than the walls of the shed. And the door is darker. I’m just pointing that out because I’ve painted a few fences, pergolas and sheds in my time and the first few times I tried light and out of desperation then went dark and have worked out dark recedes. Plus, rough wood is hard to paint and shows that it’s rough much more obviously than dark. But if you husband is a decorator I bet he can do a great job whatever you pick. :)...See Moreshould I paint the bedside cabinets darker?
Comments (10)I would agree definitely add flowers and a plant. I also think the room is lovely and would live with it for a while and just add accessories that you love when you find them. My first thought re colour was building on the fig/aubergine but I can’t find anything! I might also change the lampshades so they stand out a little more against the wall. I think an Ikat design for cushions would work well with the paper. I’d also add a few more bits to the bedside table, flowers, candle, photo frame, drinking glass and tray, alarm clock etc. Silk tassels are also a great way to add colour and texture to furniture, walls, vases etc but I’m struggling to find photos!...See MoreColour of Swing and Shed?
Comments (8)Judging by your 'colour scheme' I'd say white. :-) But more seriously, we painted (some years ago) much of our garden furniture a cornflower blue (Ronseal Woodland Colours). We still like its freshness and it blends remarkably well with all the natural garden colours. Not sure if they do a metal paint (for your swing stand)....See MoreHelp with fence and shed colours!!’
Comments (18)I think you already have a lot of grey. Definitely paint the shed though. As MATH says use Cuprinol Ducksback. Both me and my son have used it on our fencing and it really is fabulous easy to use stuff. Needs a minimum of 2 coats and is currently on offer at several shops. First coat takes longer to put on, then the second coat goes on really quickly. I think I’d be tempted to use black for the fence and a contrast on the shed. I have my side fences Silver Copse (grey) and the back fences Iris (dark blue)....See Morerachelmidlands
