• Expressing your Creativity through your Fence

    A fence around your home serves as a boundary. Not only does it keep people from trespassing and ruining your garden, it also serves to extend your home to the area surrounding it. It marks your front yard and back yard as a part of your home, thus extending that feeling of comfort and happiness that you get in a house that belongs to you and your family.

    Expressing your Creativity

    Since the front and back yards are extensions of the home, people like to put some effort into enclosing and beautifying them. By putting your own personal stamp into the land that belongs to you, as well as the fence surrounding it, you’re expressing your creativity for everyone to see and enjoy. You can either go with a classic white picket fence or fences in a multitude of colors, depending on what appeals to you.

    The Classic White Picket Fence

    There’s a reason why the white picket fence is always included in images of the perfect home. There’s something fresh and clean about a white fence. It might be set up to keep intruders out but it never looks forbidding. Plus, a white fence pretty much goes with any color scheme you might have set up for your home.

    Fences in Complementary Colors

    It’s not necessary to paint your entire fence one color. You can also play around with using two or more colors.

    • You could paint a fence blue and yellow. This gives a playful look to the yard, especially if you have a children’s area in it.
    • A blue and white fence can give your yard a sophisticated look. It’s a good choice if you have a neat yard with well-trimmed plants and boxes of flowers.
    • You can also paint your fence in the same colors as your house. For example, if your house is white with a brown roof, you can use the same colors in your fence.

    Go for a Balanced Look

    The above suggestions can get you started when it comes to painting your fence and enclosing your front and back yard. But there are literally hundreds of different combinations you could use. Just make sure that your yard doesn’t end up looking too “busy” with too many colors or too dull because you haven’t used enough colors. Try to go for a balanced look.
