Creative Ideas For Using Concrete Paint In Outdoor Spaces

Concrete surfaces in outdoor areas often go unnoticed or are seen as purely functional. However, with the right approach and products, these spaces can be transformed into artful features of your property. 

With over 65 years of experience in innovative coatings, Viponds Paints shares creative ideas for usingconcrete paint to transform outdoor spaces. 

What is concrete paint? 

Concrete paint is a specialised coating designed to adhere to and protect concrete surfaces. It's formulated to withstand outdoor conditions, resist wear and tear and provide a decorative finish to various concrete structures. 

Unlike regular paint,concrete paint penetrates the porous surface of concrete, creating a strong bond that can last for years with proper application and maintenance.

Creative applications

  • Revamp patios and courtyards
  • Painting patios or courtyards is a simple way to refresh any outdoor space. A fresh coat ofconcrete paint can instantly make the area feel brand-new without the need for costly renovations. Opt for bold colours to make a statement, or stick to neutral tones for a more sophisticated look. WithEcopave outdoor concrete paint, you have unlimited colour options to truly personalise the space.


  • Create a decorative pathway
  • Pathways are more than just a way to get from one place to another — they can be a highlight of your outdoor area. Whether through stencils or freeform patterns,concrete paint allows these designs to pop while also protecting the surface from wear. For added protection, apply Concrete and Masonry Sealer to preserve the vibrant look and extend the lifespan of the paint job.


  • Brighten up garden features
  • Garden planters, benches or retaining walls can sometimes feel dull and lifeless. A quick paint refresh withconcrete paint can turn these items into striking accents. Use bright, complementary colours to highlight specific areas, or choose softer shades to create a more natural look. A versatile option like Quick Dry Enamel is perfect for small features that need a fast-drying, smooth finish that will last a long time.


  • Design a unique outdoor mural
  • If you have a large bare wall in your outdoor area, why not turn it into a canvas? Painting a mural on a concrete surface can transform a bland space into something artistic and personal. Whether you’re hiring a mural artist or trying your hand at creating your own masterpiece, using high-qualityoutdoor concrete paints ensures your mural will stand the test of time. 


  • Add character to outdoor steps
  • Outdoor steps are often overlooked, but they can be a focal point with the right touch of paint. A fresh coat ofconcrete paint can give your steps a polished, cohesive look. You can also paint patterns or designs along the edges to make the steps more dynamic. Consider mixingAnti-Skid Additives into the paint for extra grip, making your steps not only beautiful but functional too.
