Picking a fence color for your property is an important decision. Your fencing will be very visible from all parts of your home and yard, and it will be very obvious if it doesn’t fit your home’s color scheme. In order to increase your home’s curb appeal, aesthetic, and value, learn the following tips for picking the right color for your fence.

Do

Select a color that relates to your home.

One of the best ways to pick a color for your fencing project is to look at the colors that are already part of your home’s exterior. Look at the siding, roof, and trim. Since your trim is an accent color, it can be great to accentuate this shade.

You should also keep your home’s style in mind when selecting a fence. If your home is more rustic or out in the country, a dark brown wooden fence will add to this decor. If you’re in a cottage or colonial, a traditional white picket fence can look stunning. Think about how your home will look surrounded by your material and color of choice.

Consider resale value.

Some people want to go big with their fence colors, choosing unique shades like orange or green. If you’re going to do this, make sure that it complements your house if you’re planning to sell anytime soon. Most buyers might want to see design consistency and may favor a practical shade. Consult a fencing professional to figure out if your color choice is too ambitious.

Don’t

Choose a fence color without checking your HOA’s policies.

Your neighborhood or homeowners’ association probably has rules about the styles and colors of fences allowed in the area. Look over the rules or talk to a representative if you have questions. If you install a fence that breaks the regulations, you’ll be required to take it down and start all over with new fencing materials.

Pick a color just because it’s on-trend.

Sometimes homeowners get distracted by flashy new fencing trends. Wrought iron, painted brick, and orange-stained wood are emerging styles. However, it can decrease your home’s value if they don’t match your house. Go for what’s attractive for your yard rather than what you saw that looked attractive with someone else’s exterior.
