April 22nd, 2016How To Choose The Right Colour For Your Fence

Is your curb appeal making you yawn in boredom, but you don't have the budget to do a full overhaul? Why not let a fresh coat of paint on your fence can bring some much needed life into your yard this spring?

 

 

 

Use your imagination to come up with the colour that will best suit your property and personality. You can try a modern monochrome look or add some brightness with a bold, unexpected splash of colour. Whatever you choose it could be just what your yard needs to make it exciting again, and give your neighbours major envy.

Tie It All Together

The first step in choosing the right colour for your fence is to take a look at the outside of your home. Try to tie everything in by painting your fence to match or compliment the colour of your home’s exterior. This will give it a clean, cohesive look that is satisfying to the eye.

What about your patio furniture? You may choose to match the colour of the cushions to your fence, and bring it all together by coordinating. You could also stain the wood of your fence to match the undertones of the wood on your furniture.

Go Bold

If your yard is in need of some liveliness, why not add a vivid pop of colour! Live on the edge and paint your fence a bright shade of orange or blue to really make it stand out against the neutral tones of the neighbourhood.

 

 

Don’t want to commit to a full fence of colour, but still want that splash of excitement? You can paint some accent pieces a bright colour and distribute them throughout to create small eye catching pieces that draw your eyes in. Perhaps that means staining your fence, but adding a bright colour to the trim or posts.

Keep It Natural

Sticking to a deep green or brown will pull in all the elements of lush backyard foliage, creating a cohesive and earthy setting.

 

 

If you like to garden or have planted some beautiful trees or bushes, let your beautiful plants speak for themselves. Keep the colour of your fence neutral to allow the landscaping to be the focal point of your yard!

 

Whether it be pops of colour or earthy neutrals, a fresh coat of paint can give your yard a whole new look!
