How to upcycle garden furniture in 3 steps
There’s really no need to spend a fortune on new garden furniture.
Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor and gardening enthusiast has shared her tips to transforming grotty second-hand furniture into pieces that look brand new.
"Recycling centres, dump shops, charity shops and Facebook Marketplace are brilliant places to pick up second hand items for cheap.
And all you need to do is have a spare afternoon to spruce them up - and it’s something you can get your kids involved in!
Clean
Everything looks better after a good scrub.
If in doubt, opt for a simple washing-up liquid and warm water solution, and get to work removing all the grime and dirt.
If the piece of furniture can withstand some pressure, why not pressure wash it?
Leave it to dry, then you can see what you’re dealing with.
Fix-up
If the item of furniture is a little wonky, or you’re unsure how sturdy it is, take a moment to check all the fixtures and either replace them or tighten them up.
Colour
The quickest way to transform a piece of furniture is with a lick of paint.
When choosing a new colour, base it on shades that will fit with your existing garden design and plants - but most importantly, pick a colour that will bring a smile to your face."
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Fabulous makeover."
"Well you learn something new everyday,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Looks great! I love to see things being recycled, that other people have thrown away........One man's rubbish is another man's treasure as they say , you are also helping the planet out, win win."
