Enhance your garden with vibrant colours

It’s the perfect time to welcome colour to your garden.

This can be done by bringing a fresh finish to your home’s exterior, adding a splash of colour to your garden walls, or getting creative with your flowerpots and furniture.

With Colourtrend’s extensive range of quality exterior products and a colour range of over 1,500 shades, you can create an outdoor space you will love this summer.

Irish made for Irish weather, Colourtrend’s exterior products are formulated to meet the unpredictable demands of each season, from heatwaves to snowstorms, wind, rain and hail.

Speaking about Colourtrend’s Weather Collection, General Paints Group Managing Director, Rachel O’Connor said: “As an Irish family brand with over 68 years of experience we have applied our insights and expertise to create Colourtrend’s exterior paint collection. Focusing on quality, our weather collection is Irish made for Irish weather.

“We know how harsh the winter months can be and the impact that weather can have on a house, especially for those living closer to the coast or in more open and exposed rural areas. We wanted to ensure that our paint could not only withstand these harsh conditions but also protect homes and businesses from them.”

While we may not be travelling abroad this summer, you can bring the vibrant colours of Morocco to your garden instead, or the cool refreshing vibes of the Mediterranean. From painting your exterior walls, garden shed, furniture or flower beds, now is the time to enhance your outdoor living space, so that it becomes your go-to outdoor sanctuary this summer season.

She added: “Outdoor spaces can be designed and transformed like interior spaces. Often people see painting their exterior spaces as an overwhelming task, we want to encourage people to approach these projects with the same design focus they would their interior. It is very much a decorative project as well as a functional one. With temperatures rising and summer almost upon us, now is the perfect time of year to embrace your outdoor project and start preparing for the summer months.”

Adding colour can make an instant difference to the aesthetics of your home and outdoor space. While we spend much time and effort on our interior projects, our exterior is simply an extension of this same aesthetic.
