Love it!
Show some pride and give your house or apartment a spruce-up that will immediately set it apart from the rest. Anoint the outside wall and door with a fresh coat of paint, or give the area a good scrub with some household detergent to remove dust, mud and scuff marks. Invest in some house numbers to announce your precise location in the street you live in. Pop a small LED light above the number for easy viewing on those dark evenings when you want to ensure your guests have no trouble finding your awesome home. Round the mini face-lift off with a welcome mat that doubles as a dust trapper.
Plant it!
Artificial landscape grass is a durable, outdoor carpeting which has the appearance of real lawn that is as green as grass was in the days before water restrictions. Although perfect for porches, and balcony gardens, artificial grass is a creative option for indoor groundcover and those with a love for the great outdoors will enjoy feeling the synthetic blades of grass tickling their feet. Especially lush for your laidback living-styled lounge, or for a child’s room that will without a doubt be the envy of all their playmates. Best of all...no mowing needed.
Paint it!

Sun damaged plastic garden furniture, battered braai grillers and yellowing refrigerators will be a thing of the past once you’ve spent the morning getting creative with this product that doesn’t need a primer to be applied.
Illuminate it!
Tone things down or lighten the mood by having a serious look at your use of globes and light fittings. Clever use of lighting will bring out the best in your indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Build it stocks a wide range of globes, downlights, overhead lights and free-standing lamps. A bright welcoming light at the entrance of your home ensures a lot more than just illuminating the walkway to your door, it serves as a safety feature too. While on your shopping expo to Build it, don’t forget the LED solar rechargeable lanterns and jars which look uber cool hanging in your garden entertainment area at night. Pop a rock rose, some sea urchin shells or seasonal decorations into your jar to customise it.
Open it!
