Ideal colours for painting your garden fence

Sometimes Garden space is not always easy to come by, so we have to make do with the space that we are given. This means that sometimes you may have to make small adjustments to give the illusion of a bigger space. If you want to enjoy your garden from your lifestyle garden furniture but don’t want it to feel cramped, the colour you paint your fence can make a difference.

Average sized gardens – dark colours

Black graphite type colours might not sound like the ideal choice for a garden fence, but they are actually quite neutral and will make the space feel large by navigating your eye to the colourful plants and flowers in your garden.

Small gardens – pastel colours

Lighter, pastel colours are better for small gardens as they will bring more light into the area, whereas dark colours in small spaces can make things appear smaller. The colours you choose should also complement the colour scheme of your garden as a whole.

Themed gardens – bright colours

If you have a particular garden theme that has a range of colours, then your garden will benefit from a brightly coloured garden fence. The mixture of bright colours will bring both light space to your garden.

Other ways to create the illusion of space

If you’re not sure about your fence colours or want something else to help build the illusion of a larger garden, consider outdoor mirrors. Much like inside the house, mirrors can be used to make it appear as if there is more garden to explore.
