Woman transforms boring backyard into stunning boho space using just a bit of paint and a stencil

DESPITE lockdown causing us to remain stuck inside, those lucky enough to have a garden have been utilising the space and enjoying the warmer weather. 

But the downtime has also allowed the time to spruce up some parts of the home which are otherwise boring or dull, resulting in many fine tuning their outdoor areas.

One DIY fan, whose back garden consisted of concrete slabs and a clothes line, was desperate to jazz up her "boring yard".

In an effort to keep the cost down, the woman decided to paint the concrete rather than replacing it altogether.

Armed with both black and white paint and a cheap stencil template, she was able to create a a stunning space which instantly made the space more inviting.

She completed the look by adding a couple of luxurious rattan chairs and some accompanying pieces to fill the space - and it looks incredible.

She shared snaps in the Gardening On A Budget Official , and wrote: "Our backyard was a bit boring and we couldn't decide what we were going to do with them. Until I found some ideas on Pinterest about stencil slabs.

"Purchased stencil online also black and white paints. Happy with the result!!!"

The design proved popular with many and after an influx of requests the woman revealed she'd used Dulux Weather shield for white base and Masonry paint purchased in B&M to use over the stencil.

Some were concerned about it's durability when using a jet wash on the area, but while she admitted to not having tried yet, she did say it endured some heavy rain.

"That looks so lovely," one person commented.

Another said: "Wow what a transformation. Looks fab."

While many more described it as "beautiful" and "stunning"
