You'll be surprised by how much a lick of paint can transform an old
fence and provide a striking backdrop for greenery and jewel-coloured
plants. And the colour you should opt for? Black.

'The depth this colour gives is magical for garden designers; paint a
fence black and it disappears, a shed becomes less of an eyesore and
that old bench suddenly becomes a chic focal point,' says Chelsea
Flower Show garden designer Andrew Duff.

Don't forget, you can give your plant pots a new lease of life by
painting them too.

4. Reuse old furniture

Upcycle, upcycle, upcycle! You can give old and tired furniture in your
home a new lease of life in the garden. Old sinks and dressing tables
can be turned into quirky planters, while pallets can be used as
planters, bug hotels or compost bins.
