How to decorate a fence
Summer is the best time to decorate life and do something original with your own hands. Those who live in their own house or have a summer cottage should think about decorating the fence. Of course, it is needed primarily to protect the territory, but bad weather does its job, and the once beautiful fence, sparkling with fresh paint, becomes gray and unsightly. Here are some tips to help you make it colorful and original.
We decorate the fence with our own hands
You can, of course, just paint the fence, but there are more interesting options. There are a lot of decor options: stained glass, forged figurines, original pots look great. A very popular material that also costs nothing is plastic bottles. Dyed them in different colors makes them an interesting decoration.
Plants are also often used. For example, a flower garden can give a fence a completely new look. The hedge looks no less beautiful. If you plant a flower bed nearby and put country furniture, you can equip a beautiful corner for summer holidays.
Experienced gardeners will surely like decorating with weaving roses. You will have to work hard to breed them, but no one else will have such a gorgeous fence. If you don't have a lot of experience, you can use ivy: it is unpretentious to care for, tolerates cold well and always looks original and stylish. Another good option is hops, which also have medicinal properties. You just need to take into account that hops usually grow and, in the absence of control, will quickly decorate all neighboring areas.
We must not forget about the color palette. The fence should match the design of the building and match the color of the roof. For example, a brown railing is ideal for a pink façade.
How to decorate a fence in the country: ideas
Perhaps the most effective option is to decorate with climbing plants. Here are some ideas for decorating different types of fences;
- Chain-link fence. Annuals and perennials will be a luxurious decoration for such a fence. A great option is a girlish grape, which is resistant to pests and retains its color well. True, it must be borne in mind that such a fence should be at least 2 meters high, only then it will look organic.
- Concrete fence. This fence is quite reliable, but gloomy, so it needs decoration first. The decor on both sides can be made different. On the inside, for example, decorate the territory with unusual flowers, and on the outside, plant conifers. Fern will look no less beautiful. There is another interesting way to update a concrete fence: you need to partially overlay it with bricks, and plant moss in the rest of the territory. When it sprouts, the area will look very cozy.
- Fence made of corrugated board. As a decoration, the edge of the material in the sheets, cut figuratively, is suitable for it. Elements of artistic forging will help you create ornaments of almost any complexity. You can also decorate such a fence with flowers or arrange posts on which various decorative figures will be fixed.
- Wooden fence. Such a fence provides a huge scope for imagination. It can be decorated with shells, wood cuts or multi-colored pebbles, even whole stained-glass windows are made from broken dishes. An excellent decor option is paintings of different themes that are applied to the fence. So that they do not fade, special facade paints are used. Such painting is also suitable for concrete fences, as well as corrugated fences.
So there are many decor options. Everything is limited by imagination and budget, after all, a certain amount will have to be allocated for the materials at hand. But the result will exceed all expectations: the new original fence will delight the owners and guests for a long time to come.
