If you are looking for a way to dramatically boost your home’s appearance or its value to prospective buyers, you can make a big difference by installing a new home fence. A new fence increases your home’s overall “curb appeal” or visual attractiveness of your house, as seen from the street. Neighbors and passersby will take notice of your dazzling home design, complete with a sturdy new fence. But how can one new home fence make such a difference? Due to the versatility in residential fence styles and designs, homeowners can enjoy various methods for boosting their curb appeal.
New Home Fence Styles Boost Curb Appeal
Three major residential fence styles will significantly improve the look of your home. Depending on the existing design of your house, you may prefer a specific fence style.
Aluminum fencing is excellent for anyone who wants a wrought-iron look. These fences can make your home look like a grand, historic mansion with their stately appearance.
Vinyl PVC fencing is great for those who want a solid wall fence or a bright white picket fence. Adding a trellis over a vinyl fence gate may also add a striking contrast to your fence design.
Finally, wood fencing is a classic option for adding curb appeal. There are many types of wood fences, with the most popular being picket fences or privacy fences. These new home fences are incredibly versatile.
Painting Your New Home Fence
Many of these residential fences come in numerous color options. You can order these colors initially, or you can paint them yourself. The most popular colors tend to be black, blue, gray, white, and natural. Black and white are great for helping your landscaping stand out, while gray paints match just about every color. If you want a natural look, a good wood stain may be best, especially for rustic-style homes.
Add Fence Accessories
This applies most often to wood fences, but adding attractive hardware to your new home fence can take your curb appeal up a notch. You may consider installing hardware of a contrasting color for an extra pop. For instance, if you install black hardware on a natural wood fence, you can create quite a stylish fence. An elegantly-crafted latch or set of hinges can make a big difference when chosen with care.
Once you have considered and carefully chosen these three style elements of your new home fence, you can boost your curb appeal and reap the benefits of a beautiful new home.
