Many homes have it: a plain shed tucked away in the corner of the yard, used to store lawn equipment, gardening tools, and seasonal items. Why not turn this simple structure into a part of the landscape? Here are five ideas to add colour and life to your shed:

Paint 

To help you choose a paint colour, take a cue from the surrounding colours, perhaps the outdoor furniture cushions or the stones by the pool. It’s time to spruce up your backyard, so go ahead and add a little touch of dazzling colour!

Deck It Out

Add some architectural interest and build a small deck or patio around your shed. Doing this will also allow space for additional decorative items such as flower pots, as well as a new area to sit and nice furniture.

Trellises

Covering the exterior in a trellis and planting climbing plants can give a simple shed an exotic and lush look.

Doors & Windows

Simply adding new windows or doors or changing the existing windows or doors on a shed can go a long way, making the exterior look like a charming miniature house.

Decoration

Install a few pretty flower beds under the windows and add light to your outdoor decor with lanterns. Set up a small terrace with patio furniture and colorful cushions to complement the look of your shed.
