On-trend fence colours to add colour to your garden

It’s just about the perfect time of year to do that horrible painting job in your garden – your fence panels. We all know how much of an effort painting them can be, but we also know how much of a difference they can make with a fresh lick of paint. But before you head to your DIY store for your usual brown colour that you have used year in year out, why not add a little more colour?

Painted fences have always been a thing, but 2020 is the year for pastel hues and coloured fence panels for sure. Just like painting your interior walls, coloured fence panels can create interest, and personality to your outdoor space. But what colour should you go for? Have no fear, we have lots of inspiration for your garden fence panels this year.

WHITE

White is a fantastic colour indoors and out, and especially one to consider if you have a small garden with lots of boarder plants and flowers. White is a great colour to create the illusion of more space, and add brightness to your garden. It’s also great at accentuating your natural colour from plants and flowers. White is a great colour for any type of garden fence, and will easily co-ordinate with current garden furniture.

BLACK

It’s certainly a bold colour to incorporate, but once again fantastic at contrasting against border plants and flowers. Black is the perfect garden fence colour for modern contemporary homes that want to carry this through to their outdoor spaces too. Styled with natural furniture, geometric prints and simple greenery, black is the bold fence colour your garden might just need.

PASTELS

Pastel colours have had a huge come back inside our homes, so it’s well worth bringing them into your garden too. Soft pinks, blues, greens and yellows can inject huge character and colour into your outdoor space. For small courtyard style spaces, an injection of soft colours perfectly match potted plants, outdoor tiling and minimalistic furniture.

Gardens deserve as much styling and consideration as much as your home. If you’re worried about going all out on any of these colours, why not create a ‘ feature wall’, paining one wall of fence in a feature colour and the others a more subtle, gentle colour. If you have a walled garden, remember they can be painted too, with similar impact as painted fencing.
