4 Ways to Make Your Fence Look More Welcoming

Is your fence in need of an emergency facelift? Has the harsh weather made it a little worse for wear? The great American poet Robert Frost was right when he said, "good fences make good neighbors." Your fence is the first thing your guests and the rest of the outside world sees when they visit your house.

A fence that is in good condition and is pleasing to look at will leave a good impression on your guests, whereas a shabby and drab looking fence is likely to put off neighbors and guests alike. But you don’t have to change the fence entirely or just give up altogether.

Here are a few simple ways through which you can spruce up the appearance of your fence and turn it into a more welcoming site for others.

1.     Follow Proper Maintenance

This should go without saying; the number one way to keep your fence at the top of its condition is by doing routine upkeep. Avoid turning your yard into a veritable eyesore by letting the paint on your fence crack and peel from everywhere.

Be diligent about getting it painted or stained and clean it routinely. A fading fence will just look sad and will not do anything for your home’s aesthetic appeal, so do proper maintenance to keep it clean and pristine. Your neighbors will thank you.

2.     Think Outside the Box

Sometimes, seeing house after house with the same white picket fence can get a little boring. Spice things up by repainting your fence to a bright different color. Not only that, you can also do some decoration by hanging ornaments, lighting strips, or flower pots on your fence. You can weave fabric in and out of the fence, hang festive decorations on it according to the seasons and get as innovative as you can.

Get creative with your ideas and think outside the box. The sky’s the limit!

3.     Decorative Fencing

Think painting a fence is just plain old boring and that it needs something more refreshing? Then take out your decorative gloves and start making your fence more ornamental. Dress up a plain picket fence with interesting garden art, or add some geometric designs to your fence.

Put up colorful birdhouses on your fence or even paint a mural on it if you’re feeling more artistically inclined! Think up of innovative ideas to decorate your fence and your guests will surely appreciate the effort.

4.     Go Green

The tried and trusted method of making any boring, old fence look welcoming is to add more greenery to it. Adding plants and flowers to a fence will give it a more welcoming and inviting look and greatly boost the overall appeal of your house.

Add flowerbeds, climbing vines, evergreen, and any shrubbery you want to beautify your fence.
