What colour to paint the fence???

Page 1 of 1
We have recently rendered our house and are painting it Dulux Mud Pack.

The question is what colour do we paint the timber fence surrounding the property? The front of the fence is in line with the front of the house so I thought it would look better the same colour as the house?? so it flows better

We are also having the timber fence sprayed around the backyard - so I dont want the paint colour to make it look smaller or too boxed in - although we have a huge backyard.

Would this be better the same colour as the house of slightly different? We are planning to plant in front of the fences.

thanks!!!
A dark colour makes your fence less obvious and is ideal when you're going to plant in front of it.
I'm not sure I'd bother if you're planting in front anyway. Is it a standard paling fence or lap and cap? Do the neighbours have gardens yet? I know people who've been quite miffed by paint coming through the gaps onto their plants.

Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀
