Spending less and achieving more is a high priority for homeowners this summer, but they still want their homes to look good, both inside and out. This year's interior trends are turning towards more craft-led designs with patterns staging a major come-back.
Also, good old fashioned thriftiness is combining with greener ethics. So recycling has become trendy with the re-styling of old furniture, the rediscovery of old floorboards and even the reuse of garden pots and containers. While it's the ethical way, it's also great value for money, but only with help from International specialist paint.

OUTSIDE
Crafty Recycling with International Ten Year Exterior Gloss. The latest gardening trend is to use strong background colours. Everything from an old bench to the garden gate can be used as painted backdrop to the main plant theme. Retailers can recommend International paint, knowing it doesn't just look good and go on smoothly, it will also last much longer than this summer's latest look!

AND INSIDE
International paints are the ideal way to brush up out of date items. Retailers can recommend International Furniture and Cupboard Paint with Teflon® surface protector. It's ideal at transforming Junk to Jewels, and will be certain to keep the customers coming back for more.
