Want to be a member of the local trend-setter club? It all starts with the exterior of your home – the fence, to be more specific. Nowadays, fences are more than just a safety feature; they\u2019re a way to complete the look of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best things about having the outside of your house be a light shade is that it matches everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you view a fence as nothing more than an extension of the house, then you\u2019ll want something that will blend together seamlessly. Whether you want a white fence to match the white exterior, or a bold fence color to add pizazz, with a neutral home exterior, your fencing color options are truly limitless! <\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

For homes that embrace the darker side of life. To add a little pop to traditional browns, blacks, and greys, choose a fence color that contrasts with the exterior.

Of course, if a standout pop of color is something that sparks your design-interest, you can also opt for a wooden fence painted red, gold, blue, or yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The color of your fence should serve as a supporting role to your home if the exterior color alone grabs the spotlight for itself. If your home is one that welcomes visitors with a color scheme brighter than a bag of Skittles, a subtle fence color would look best. While these eye-catching exteriors are exciting, it can be challenging for homeowners to find a fence design that complements its one-of-a-kind style.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep it simple with a natural stained wood fence color, or a classic white vinyl option. Either choice is a neutral, understated solution to make sure you get the benefits of a privacy fence, while still showcasing the color of your house.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n
