My patio was looking so drab so I gave it mega makeover on the cheap using a lick of paint and it works like magic | The Sun
05/12/2023A WOMAN has revealed that her patio was looking drab so she decided to give it the ultimate makeover on the cheap.
The mother and DIY fan explained that she was fed up of looking at her dull patio, so used a lick of paint to give it a cheap transformation.
Alyx, who is also known on social media as ‘Your DIY Hype Girl’, explained that the paint worked like “magic” and while she’s a huge DIY whizz and has done a variety of overhauls, her garden patio job is one of her “favourite projects” so far.
Posting on TikTok under the username @simplyalchemy, the woman documented the process of her patio glow up.
She said: “Back patio makeover on a budget.”
At the start of the clip, we saw the mother use a jet washer to remove the paint and dirt from her patio.

Once cleaned, the woman then used a Valspar, porch, floor and patio, wood and concrete paint, to give her patio the ultimate, smooth, satin finish.
It didn’t take long, as the savvy mum used a large roller brush to coat her patio in paint.
Once covered, the mother then used a stencil and some black paint, along with the help of her young daughter, to add a beautiful design to her patio steps.
She also placed two large plant pots at the end of the modern, white patio, to further add some colour and personality to the once, very tired patio.
