How do I match fence design with my home and landscape styles?

Answer 1

No disrespect, but next time give more info: year your house was built, your landscape style that you mentioned but we have no idea what style it is.

My house was built in 1906 and I chose a picket fence of my own unique design around the front yard; have 6' privacy fence of cedar around backyard ~ and nine different style gates that I have fun with, decorating and painting.

Split-rail fences look especially good with ranch style houses and 1950-1960s houses. Then again, I like them just about anywhere. Picket fences date back to Victorian era, but widely used on just about any style house. There's a saying: If you want the fence to show, paint it white; If you want the garden to show, don't paint the fence. I know it's typical and expected by many to paint a picket fence, but I didn't/won't. Japanese Gardens? use Bamboo! Possibilities are endless; find something you like and go with it!

Go to the library and look at books. No substitute for a picture. Drive around and find a fence you like.

Answer 2

My fencing company had cool software that enabled me to take a photo of my home and landscaping placing their fencing styles in the areas I wanted to enclose. If that is not available in your area try just taking a photo of the house and placing the pictures of the different styles you are considering around the house photo.

Answer 3

paint the fence the colour of ur house if u can. or else decorate both with something common. like 4 example if u r drawing flowers on the fences with blue then paint the flowers on the house also blue. if it has to match ur landscape than use the colour of the landscapes to paint the flowers on ur fence n house.
