Outdoor Shed Makeover

In this Today’s Homeowner video, host Jodi Marks demonstrates an easy outdoor shed makeover. By transforming the shed’s blank, exterior wall into a unique and economical outdoor living space, she gives an otherwise plain shed a whole new look.

The Shed Makeover Project Steps

For this project, the homeowner took a rather utilitarian shed and turned it into a focal point, rather than simply an overlooked structure.

  1. First, they painted the shed with a color-coordinated shade to compliment the home it’s situated behind.
  2. Then, they created faux shuttered windows on the side of the shed. These cover the existing blank wall, and use a contrasting paint color to create visual interest.
  3. They then added an arbor with a built-in bar. (Seal any pressure-treated lumber you use to ensure it’s properly protected from the elements.)
  4. Jodi also notes that you can add additional features to personalize the project. Planter pots, outdoor wall décor, lighting, stepping stones, or even a fire pit, would be a great complement in your own backyard. 

Jodi notes that with this makeover, the outdoor shed has become a new focal point and is the backyard’s new “go-to” destination area.

So, go take a look out back to determine what you have to work with, then map out a plan to make the most of it!
