5 Fence Paint Colors for Spring to Refresh Your Curb Appeal

Posted on March 14, 2020

We’re all heading outdoors now that spring has arrived. With the past winter, it’s possible that your exterior is in need of some love to bring it back to pristine condition. Take some time to update your house’s look with a fence project. Here are 5 fence paint colors for spring to refresh your curb appeal.

The fence around your house should not be a style afterthought. Pair the style of your home and fence together. For example, a traditionally built home will look out of place with a modern, metal fence. Similarly, a manicured property with a raw wooden fence will seem off. Here are some suggestions to get you started.

Wooden Fence

Most homes are complimented by a wooden fence and so homeowners will want to preserve that pairing. Staining the wood to protect it allows the natural rawness to stand out against a green yard and house colors. The fence will blend into the space and not create its own style.

Black

Black fences are a great modern look that acts like a neutral color in the overall palette. The color works with any color scheme and geographical location. In greener locations, a stark white house with a black fence allows plants and flowers to stand out in a perfectly pristine picture.

Blue

While it’s a bit out of the comfort zone for many, consider a fun pop of color on your fence, like blue. A neutral home color with little in the way of architectural aspects can feel bland. Try blue to stand out against the typical white, beige or gray homes for a neat contrast. The color works especially well if your yard is heavy on grass and greenery. Avoid going overboard with extra colors in planters, shutters and trim.

Gray

Gray is having a renaissance in house colors. It matches every yard and structural style. The color is versatile and will work on classic or modern style homes. Also, it works well on wooden picket or metal-gated fences. Gray can work as a paint or stain for the appropriate materials.

Natural Wood Stains

A wooden fence doesn’t have to be boring. Natural wood stains are a great way to enhance the natural color on your fence. Pick from shades that will vary from clear to nearly black brown. The fence can still be a style element without being completely painted.

White

Traditional doesn’t always mean boring. White fences are a classic for a reason. If your home is a full color palette, don’t snub white. It can match trim, and allow your house to show through as the star of the property.
