Need a new garden fence?
Composite fencing is safe, secure, and hardwearing. It provides the perfect backdrop to your outdoor area and, unlike traditional wooden fencing, it doesn’t require costly and time-consuming staining, painting, or treating.
Available in 11 premium colours and a choice of styles and heights, Charles & Ivy composite fencing will allow you to create the garden of your dreams.
But how do you pick the perfect fence colour for your space?
Read on for helpful tips and advice from our experts.
Choose a style
Our composite fence panels come in a range of different styles, including full slats, slats with slatted screens, or decorative screens, and your choice of colour will influence the overall look of your garden.
If you’re after a subtle yet cohesive look that feels natural, brown is a classic colourway guaranteed to blend with the surroundings in your outside space - choose from timeless shades including light oak, teak, mid-brown, and dark oak.
Keen to give your space a modern twist?
Black and greys can be used to dramatic effect in the garden, offsetting colourful flowers and plants. These darker tones will make a style statement and highlight the beauty of your outside area.
Think about the size of your garden
Dark fence panels can give your outdoor area a dramatic look and a cosy yet luxurious feel.
However, darker-coloured fencing can be overpowering in small gardens, making it look and feel smaller than it is – especially when you invite friends and family around for BBQs in the summer.
If your garden is smaller than most, softer browns and lighter greys will be best. These tones work well with other colour schemes and can create the illusion of a much more open space.
Opting for composite fencing with decorative panels is also a great idea if you have limited space available – encouraging more light to flow into your garden and brightening things up.
Consider your surroundings
Taking into account everything from the shed and outdoor furniture to planters and borders will help you out when picking a fence colour.
For a harmonious environment, match the colour of your composite fencing (or choosing a similar shade or complementary colour). But if you’d prefer to create a striking contrast in your outdoor area, bold colours like black and dark browns look stunning against lighter and warmer shades of green, brown, yellow, pink, and white.
