(NAPSI)-Expanding your living space to include the outdoors has been a big trend over the past few years. More and more homeowners are taking the decorating ideas they’ve used inside their home and are bringing them outdoors. Retailers are helping to fuel the trend by offering items such as outdoor carpets, high-end furniture and accessories. It’s easy to create a sophisticated outdoor living space without breaking the bank with a little advice from the decorating experts at Rust-Oleum. So get ready to throw out conventional rules and bring the indoors out! Here’s how: Give your patio table and chairs a new, high-end look. Designer patio sets can cost thousands of dollars. But with finishes such as Rust-Oleum’s MultiColor Textured spray paint, it’s easy to give your old patio set a contemporary look that’s virtually indistinguishable from a new patio set. Choose a rich multihued finish like Deep Forest, Radiant Brass or Rustic Umber. Or try a bright, bold color such as Stops Rust Fresh Blue or Painter’s Touch Watermelon. Don’t forget your accent pieces! Accent pieces make a house a home, and it’s important to accent your outdoor spaces, too. Transform an ordinary lantern into a shimmering light fixture with Stops Rust Metallic spray paint in Champagne, Charcoal, Sage, Pale Gold or Rich Carmel. To add a splash of color to your outdoor space, consider finishing your mailbox or a small table with American Accents Aqua. If neutral colors are more your style, consider a cool, crisp gray, like American Accents Stone Gray, or choose Granite for a sophisticated, upscale look. Transform ordinary planters with bold splashes of color. It’s easy to bring new life to old planters—or give inexpensive planters a touch of style—with paint. To match its expensive counterparts, spray a worn metal planter or flowerbox with Rust-Oleum Gold or Copper Hammered finishes. Using Rust-Oleum Specialty Plastic Primer, add a bold splash of color to an inexpensive plastic planter with a hot, new hue such as Painter’s Touch Caribbean Blue or Blue Sky.
