Paint Provides an Innovative Method of Transforming Even the Most Unexpected of Outbuildings into Instant Exterior Architecture!

Explore the property around your home as it currently exists. There is a good chance that in addition to outdoor accessories and landscaping, there also lives a storage structure or covered area. Virtually any means of exterior shelter presents the unique opportunity to design an outdoor living area. Functional structures such as utility sheds, barns, potting structures or gazebos offer charm and decorative appeal when enhanced with a customized paint palette. Greenhouses, garden arbors, pavilions and gazebos provide the potential for aesthetically fashionable as well as practical painted surfaces that can be transformed into painted architectural structures. Unify exterior shelters with a harmonizing paint color scheme that visually ties the structure to the native landscape or the exterior colors of the home. A second option is to create a stimulating focal point by painting the outbuilding a dramatic hue that boldly contrasts with the home’s exterior color scheme.

Imagination Partnered with Paint Converts Existing Exterior Structures into Outdoor “Living Escapes”!

Remembering to outfit your outdoor living escape with all of the interior comforts of home, allows for the creation an affordable paradise. Personalize both interior and exterior of the outdoor escape with decorative beautiful and functional wall art. Shutters, for instance, can be painted to coordinate with an interior color palette and used as window coverings in order to provide privacy. Hung on the exterior of the outbuilding, shutters represent an intriguing decorative architectural element that creates an eye catching first impression. The same colors and technique that have been applied to the exterior walls of the structure can also be utilized on the surface of the shutters, mimicking color and texture to create a monochromatic appearance. Especially suitable for compact outdoor living escapes, unfinished wooden shelving and peg racks can be stenciled or painted with freehand motifs, then used to display tools in a utility or potting shed or paint supplies in an artist’s barn.
