It's easy to give your outdoor arrangements some extra flair – all you need is a little inspiration

Painted pots

1. White painted pots

You will need:

Mismatched unglazed pots (avoid glossy finishes – old terracotta or concrete pots are ideal)

Exterior paint (we used Dulux Weathershield Vivid White)

Paintbrush

Method:

1. Prepare pots by brushing them down using a nylon brush, removing any dirt. Ensure they are dry before painting.

2. Paint pots with exterior paint which can withstand outdoor conditions. You can also choose to paint the insides of the pots with an appropriate sealer to make the finish last longer.

3. Group together pots of various heights to create an interesting arrangement.

Method:

1. Apply two lengths of painter's tape around pots to create a wide band.
