What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to 20 Ways to Get the Cottage Garden Look

5. Don't be afraid to plant in every available plot of soil. Mailboxes and picket fences are begging for some floral company.

added by Erin Lang Norris to Enduring Design: The Picket Fence

If you already have a fence, picket or not, give it an update by painting it a color that will bring out the surrounding flowers.

added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Coastal Garden Style

Choose Your StyleA coastal cottage garden is a natural choice in Nantucket, along the Gulf Coast, in Santa Cruz or on Puget Sound. Look for hardier perennials in traditional cottage garden colors, such as pinks, purples and blues, and mass them together for a charming effect, especially against the weathered gray often found on a coastal cottage. Gravel paths work equally well with cottage and coastal styles, and the lack of a traditional lawn is completely appropriate for the setting.

added by Shawn Gauthier to Enhance Your Yard With the Right Fence Color

The outside your home is often the best place to look for color cues. An instant connection between the landscape and the exterior is formed here with the same bright and energized periwinkle from the trim reflected onto the fence.

front garden

added by Julia Pockett to Spring Summer 2013 (7 months ago)

A bit like Spring cleaning, a tidy up of the outside is a necessity. The chances are that fences have taken a hammering and this is an ideal time to think about adding a spot of colour in a bright new shade. If paint is a bold choice for you then consider some coloured wood stain for a more subtle look. Unless you are in the habit of changing your fence colour again in Autumn - consider how it will look in Winter as well as Summer and that it co-ordinates with your house. I love how this picket-fence matches the weatherboards and adds depth to the border with coordinated planting.
