Oh. my. Can you even believe this deck?
Artist Alisa Burke drew this pattern, freehand, and then painted it all in a beautiful riot of color. I’m in awe of the talent it took to create it, and what a fun end result!
If you want to try to recreate this or a similar look on your deck, she wrote a post outlining her process and has some tips for you here.
Otherwise, here are 6 slightly more simple ideas to add some color to your outdoor space using paint:
Paint your path.
Grab a stencil and some paint and in just a short time, you’ll have concrete patio stones that make a statement!

A fun way to find your plants and add a punch of color to your garden at the same time. Find out how to make them at A Cultivated Nest.
Make art.
Make unique yard art by thinking outside the box. The The Hanky Dress Lady made hers out of painted bike tires!
Spruce up your pots.
Flower pots are good, painted pots are better, and these ombre painted pots? Even better. (Tutorial at Bower Power.)
Not-so-mundane mailbox.

When I drove by these painted in a bold color, they put a smile on my face and I’m assuming they probably do the same for whoever’s checking the mail every day!
