The
garden and terrace are the spaces in our home where we can
relax and enjoy time with family and friends outdoors. They're also a place where you can dedicate your free time to caring for your flowers and plants, placing them in
pots to make your space beautiful and inviting. But have you considered decorating the pots themselves to give them a
special touch ?
DIY: Paint and decorate the flower pots in your house
Flowerpots, whether made of clay, terracotta, or plastic, are a
great accessory for your patio, garden, or terrace. Choose the color and design of your flowerpots to match the style of the furniture in the space you want to personalize.
We present several ways to change the style of your flower pots:
-
Give them an aged, half-painted, or poorly painted look. This style is trending. There are several ways to do it, but we're going to show you the one we found easiest. Apply bitumen of Judea directly onto the terracotta or clay pot. Let it dry and remove some of the bitumen with a cloth. If you decide to remove a lot of bitumen, the result will be subtle and not very noticeable, so if you want a more natural and better effect, let the pot become well saturated with bitumen.
-
Combine pastel shades with silver, gold, or bronze paint . It's a very simple yet striking technique. You'll find many examples of flowerpots you can copy online. Paint the pot a color you like, such as pastel blue. Let it dry and repeat the process. Then, place masking tape around the edge of the pot at the desired height and paint the base and lower part of the pot a metallic color. You're sure to love the result.
-
Write words or messages you like in a pretty font on flowerpots with a white, black, or gray background. It's one of the most popular decorating techniques we've seen on paintings, mugs, and even bedding. It's also quite easy, so you can personalize flowerpots this way with your children. Here's how it's done!
Paint the base of your flowerpot with
acrylic paint for a glossy effect. Then, using
permanent markers in colors that complement your chosen background, write an inspiring phrase or quote, or the lyrics to your favorite song. You can do this freehand for a more casual look, or use a stencil.
-
Decorate them with fabrics with eye-catching prints . Paint the background in your favorite color. Then, take a paintbrush and draw several rows of diamonds around the pot in a different shade. Paint more diamonds inside the ones you've already drawn with shades from the same color family and let it dry. You'll love the result.
You've already seen these four techniques, but there are many more. Dare to give a
special touch to that space you love to take care of.
