12 Outdoor Furniture Makeovers That Are Easier Than You Think

They used a paint sprayer to paint outdoor cushions, wicker furniture, metal furniture and more!!! Outdoor Furniture Makeovers that are easier than you think!

Its that time of the year, friends.

Time for sipping drinks, preferably ones with little umbrellas, on porches, decks and patios.

Furthermore, we should all be enjoying those beverages in pretty outdoor chairs, chaises and other comfortable perches. No?

If you are like me though, as you were dusting the three inches or so of pollen off your outdoor furniture, you may have discovered the furniture needed a little facelift of its own.

These outdoor furniture makeovers have my head brewing with ideas. The best part – they were all done with a HomeRight Paint Sprayer. That means they were easy as pie to re-hab.

Now, if only a real facelift were that easy…and that inexpensive. 😉

Wicker Furniture Makeovers

Wicker Chair Makeover

I am digging the classic white spin that Debbie from Refresh Restyle put on this wicker chair. The pattern on the cushion and pop of color on the pillows seals the deal.

Wicker Chair Makeover

And quite the opposite, but just as awesome is this bright blue wicker chair makeover from HomeJelly.

Painted Outdoor CushionsPainting Outdoor Cushions

Christy at 11 Magnolia Lane completely transformed her patio set (and saved herself a ton of money in the process!) by painting, yep painting her outdoor cushions – with a paint sprayer! I love how the green and white pillows pop off the white.

Metal Outdoor Furniture Makeover

Outdoor Metal Table Makeover

Farm Fresh Vintage Finds took her old rusty table to brand new in no time at all and saved herself cans and cans of spray paint. Yes, friends, you can paint metal with something besides spray paint – you just need a sprayer!

Adirondack Chair Makeovers

Adirondack Chair Makeover

My mouth is still open at this adirondack chair rehab from Virginia Sweet Pea. Do you see the before?! #nailedit

Adirondack Chair Makeover

If you want to add a pop of color to your adirondack chairs, go with a bold red and yellow like Front Porch Mercantile did. These totally belong right beside a beach.

Bamboo & Rattan Chair MakeoversRattan Chair MakeoverWhen I saw all six of these chairs on Craigslist for $25, I couldn’t pass them up. I gave them a super colorful paint job, but anchored them with black and white upholstery.

Outdoor Bench Makeovers 
Park Bench MakeoverA Prudent Life did a killer job on stripping and then re-staining this outdoor park bench.

Outdoor Bench Makeover

This red bench makeover from Four Generations One Roof does go perfectly with the fall, but it could totally rock a 4th of July party as well.

Outdoor Bench Makeover

The Painted Chandelier opted for a light blue color on her outdoor bench. I love how it pops against the bright pink flowers above it.

And its not furniture, but let’s all admit that the paraphernalia that comes with circus’ could use some sprucing up more than we care to admit…
Playhouse Makeover

I’m just going to go ahead and say it. I want this playhouse for myself. Seriously. This playhouse makeover from Ciburbanity could quite possibly look better than my house. Staining a Swingset

Ummm. Fo Realz? That swing set looks brand spankin’ new! HeartWorkOrg killed it! Yes, the HomeRight Finish Max and Finish Max Pro can both be used with stain.

    I would be unstoppable with a HomeRight Finish Max Paint Sprayer!
    First project: some tired, faded glider cushions.

    Can’t wait! Thanks for the chance, Jenna (and HomeRight)

  7. This sprayer looks easy to use and would certainly make my painting go faster!

  8. Stephanie Phelps

    I would use it on our deck and our fence as well as my table and chairs!

  9. Echo

    I would share with my Mom and help her paint her chairs and put the cushions on them.

  10. Diane

    I would love to paint my deck furniture a nice blue green. It would be great to spray paint it something other than the standard spray paint in a can colors.

  11. amy ushkowitz

    That sprayer would help me do wonders on our dried faded tiki hut!:)

  12. Vivian

    My patio furniture could use a coat of paint, especially my rocking chair on the front porch. I also have several other projects that I have been putting off painting. With a sprayer, I wouldn’t have an excuse to procrastinate!

  13. Susan M.

    I want one of these soooooooooooooooooo dang bad! So bad in fact, I think I have entered each.and.every.time you have a giveaway for one! Fingers crossed this is my lucky entry – I would immediately paint a vintage secretary that I have. Thanks so much for the opportunity!

  14. Ashleigh Hall

    Our porch furniture is in dire need of a facelift… along with about 10 pieces of our indoor furniture! 😉

  15. shirley

    I like the Ladder Side Table Planter by Refresh Restyle

  16. shirley

    I would use the HomeRight Finish Max Paint Sprayer on a hugh planter we have and on some Patio chairs.

  17. Donna Danna

    I have a rusty table and chairs that need help. Just waiting for the sun to shine.

  18. Thanks, girl!!! Playhouse is till alive and kicking!!! Needs a little TLC each spring after the winter but not the paint… just the areas the kids have destroyed. 🙂

    1. Love that playhouse! And honey, we ALL need a little TLC after anything having to do with kids! 😉

  19. Dana

    I’d use it on lots of furniture I’m going to update. It would make my life a whole lot easier!

  20. Debra@shoppeno5

    Getting the Home Right paint sprayer is definitely on my wish list. I have the same chairs as the ones sprayed white. I need to brighten my chairs up and the sprayer is the only way to go.

    1. Hi Jenna – I just tweeted for the last time for this giveaway. After I clicked the link again to go to HomeRight’s website I saw many accessories and parts listed. I’m wondering how many are usually necessary? If you read my entry comment you’ll see that I have a lot of painting to do! Thanks for all of you advice, and replies to my many questions, you’re a sweetheart.

      1. All you need to get you going is what will be included in the box! There is a cleaning accessory that does make cleaning a breeze, but to get going painting, all you need is included with the sprayer!

  23. Sherri

    I have a metal patio set and used spray paint 🙁 This would have been much easier!

  67. bridgett wilbur

    I would like to paint a bench that I bought at a garage sale.

  68. My family has many projects we could use this for! I have a bookcase in my room that I would love to paint turquoise blue. We’ve also been wanting to paint our dining room chairs black, and I’d even like to paint our patio glider.

    I am active at the local Elks Lodge and I would use it to paint much needed patio furniture, picnic benches and other items at the lodge. It would be a huge help financially as we use most of our funds to help the charities we support.

Thanks!

  140. Laurie Nykaza

    I have a metal table with chairs that really needs to be painted for my patio.

  141. mary ballerin

    Hi Jenna – I just tweeted for the last time for this giveaway. After I clicked the link again to go to HomeRight’s website I saw many accessories and parts listed. I’m wondering how many are usually necessary? If you read my entry comment you’ll see that I have a lot of painting to do! Thanks for all of you advice, and replies to my many questions, you’re a sweetheart.

    1. With the paint sprayer, it comes with everything you need, with the exception of an extension cord. There are other accessories – like an easy cleaning kit that just came out that is helpful, but you don’t have to have it to use the sprayer! Hope that helps!

  142. Gabby Anderson

    I would use it for my old rusty table in my back yard.

  143. These makeovers look amazing. What kind of paint should I use with the homeright max paint sprayer ?

    1. You can use just about any kind of paint, as long as it is thinned appropriately. I have used regular latex paint and Velvet Finishes in it.

  144. I have an old wooden rocker that means the world to me, but it could definitely use a coat of paint. I would like to use the HomeRight Finish Max Paint Sprayer to give it a face lift. Thank you.

  145. Awesome! thank you for sharing your furniture work! highly appreciate!

  146. I really like the idea of just painting older furniture to make it look new! Your side by side example of the older chair next to the one you painted red really emphasizes the example. I have plenty of older chairs that need some sanding anyway, so I might as well take the time to give them a fun and fresh coat of paint and then buy some new ones that match the colors. Thanks for the great idea on patio furniture.

  147. The makeovers are just wonderful! I actually liked the thought process behind the makeovers simply by painting. Also, it is a cost-effective method.

  148. Thanks for sharing the information. That’s a awesome article you posted. I found the post very useful as well as interesting. I will come back to read some more.

  149. Rebecca@Power House Fans

    I am so impressed with the make over that you did. Thanks for sharing!

  150. Great!!! I am so impressed. thank you for sharing your furniture work.

  151. Wow, impressive! I love the outdoor furniture.

  152. You have inspired me to get out and start updating my patio! Pinned!

  153. So many great ideas to transform outdoor furniture. I will be featuring this tonight at my Swing into Spring party that opens at 8pm EST. Please stop by and pick up an I’ve Been Featured button. Thanks.

    1. Oh awesome! Thanks, Judy!
