Curb appeal plays a major role in your home’s appearance. After all, more people will see the exterior of your home than the interior.
Several elements contribute to curb appeal, but your fence will likely be the most prominent. Your fence borders the exterior of your home. It also plays a vital role in keeping your property private and safe.
If the exterior aesthetics of your home are important to you, you’ll want a fence that is up-to-date with the latest trends. This article will review what’s new in outdoor fence styles so you can be confident your home exterior looks terrific.
Solid Wood Fencing
Solid wood fencing offers the ultimate privacy. These high fences leave no room between the slats for peeping eyes to get in. They offer security and create a haven for people who like to entertain.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is a popular trend because it requires less maintenance. When it comes to styles, we are seeing a rise in solid vinyl fences that are ideal for privacy. Slatted vinyl fences are also commonly used and are terrific for adding a country aesthetic to your home.
Arbor Style Fencing
Abor-style fencing will create a grand entrance to your home’s exterior. It will make your outdoor spaces ideal for weddings and other events. Allow vines and flowers to grow over it to add to the aesthetic.
Lower Fence Heights
Earlier, we discussed solid wood fencing that blocks onlookers. But lower fence heights are also in. The idea is to install a fence that comes just above the waist and serves as a convenient handrail. It will make your home look inviting while working as a barrier for small children and pets.
Clean Lines
Home décor trends call for clean lines that provide a minimalist look. While some ornamentation is okay, you shouldn’t go overboard.
Popular clean line looks include the split rail fence, the most basic fence design. It has a top and bottom rail and nothing too fancy.
A step up from the split rail fence is the post and rail fence, which has straight, sleek lines but is more detailed than the split rail fence.
Picket Fences
Picket fences have a sleek modern look but they are something to aspire to. Typically made from aluminum or wrought iron, they are somewhat imposing. They offer versatility in their styling options.
For example, you may choose a picket fence with varying-sized spikes. Or you may choose a picket fence that has spikes that do not extend past the top of the fence. They may be a safer option if you have smaller children.
Split Rail Fencing
Split rail fencing is ideal for country and ranch homes. It is made from wood and has a classic and timeless look. Its low height and the space between the rails ensure it won’t block the landscape.
A split rail style uses wood rails split lengthwise, held in place by posts. You can choose two-rail or three-rail fences. Two rail fences are a less imposing option that offers a minimalist aesthetic. A three-rail fence has a bolder look but is still understated.
Playful Wood Contrast Fencing
Wood contrast fencing comprises slats of wood that feature various stains and colors. Mix and match different woods to get the look you want, or use paint or varnish. It offers understated elegance and a contemporary vibe.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing may seem like a utilitarian option, but it comes in a variety of sizes and color options that add excitement. It is a durable, long-lasting, low-maintenance option. It provides a clear boundary for your property along with optimal visibility.
Colors
We typically think of brown, white, or metal as fence colors. But today’s fences come in a variety of hues. Hot trends include earth tones, subtle blues, and classic grays. But you can go outside the box by painting your fence pink, purple, yellow, or whatever color you choose.
