WE'VE all freshened up our walls, but it turns out there are part of the house that many people aren't aware you can paint.

The DIY whizz named Kate, who posts under the acronym @carlowpainthub, took to TikTok and shared five things you may not have known you can paint - and the best products for the job.

First up, Kate discusses tiles.

"Use a two-pack polyurethane," she advises. "It's extremely durable, extremely hard-wearing, you can scuff it, you can cycle on it you can wash it, do whatever you like."

She goes on to note that Temadur 20 is the one she recommends.

Second on the list is concrete patio.

"Your concrete yard - whether it's a yard or patio or paving slabs, you can paint it," the DIY guru says. "You can also do a little funky stencil and make it look like a Moroccan tiles."

Kate then goes on to point out that few people are aware you can also paint the tiles within your shower or bathroom.

"Luja is the product we recommend for this," she reveals. "It's from Finland and it's super durable, water resistant, mould resistant, you can wash it and scrub it 10,000 times."

The DIY whizz notes that roof tiles are another area of the house that can be painted.

"You can paint them a slate grey, a terracotta, it's beautiful," she says.

Kate continues: "Last thing you might've known you can paint it but probably didn't know you can paint it yourself - your kitchen cabinets.

"It's a hefty job, there's a lot of preparation, mainly the cleaning, but it's do-able.

You can absolutely transform your kitchen yourself."

The post has since racked up an impressive 109,000 views and been inundated with comments from grateful homeowners across the country.

"People don't realise they can paint their PVC windows/doors either," one person pointed out.

A second enthused: "Thank you so much - my bathroom tiles really do need a paint over! So happy with the recommendation."

A third penned: "Great post- thanks!"

Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "Just stumbled across this on fyp, mad, I was only on about paint for patio yesterday, the phone is listening - thanks for list of products."

A further praised: "Love all this just painted my kitchen cabinets and freezer."

And one more added: "Thanks for that!"
