What Colour Fence Paint Makes the Garden Look Bigger?
If you’ve been thinking about painting your fence and would like it to help make your garden area bigger, there are a number of ways you can make your garden look more spacious. This involves light and cool colours and shades, eggshell and satin finishes will also help to create the appearance of more space, another colour to consider is a light taupe shade, this can also help to brighten up the space. Even painting your fence white can still create a neutral feel, this will provide a light space. Generally light colours and pastel shades are going to be the eBay option, these colours are reflective and will provide a more spacious look.
Some people choose to paint their fences lighter shades of pink, this can make your garden or outdoor space look bigger especially in the light coming from the sunshine. Neutral tones including beige, sand and ivory are also great options, as well as white or a light grey. As well as looking spacious these tones can look expensive and elegant. Classic colours like light blue can also provide the feeling of depth, calming colours are also useful as they will blue the boundaries of your garden, making it feel bigger.

What Colour Fence for a Small Garden?
If you have a smaller garden and you’re looking to paint your fence, we advise using warmer and darker colours, these can help to make your outdoor area or garden feel smaller and much more intimate. Some colours we advise to avoid when it comes to painting your fence, this includes browns, greys, purple navy and black fence paint and stain, however when including a dark coloured fence into your garden space, it can be a great contrast to plants.
When it comes to fence panels, pale wood finishes are quite a popular and a modern choice, they are also great for smaller areas, some people find that including a feature mirror is a great decorative piece and also good for creating more space. Wood finish panels are also good for low maintenance, they won’t require half as much painting and maintenance. You could also continue the fence theme onto garden decking, a great way to make a small garden look bigger.
Recommended Product
For a soft, satin finish, we would recommend the use of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior. This water based fence paint is tintable to a range of shades. If you are looking for a modern anthracite grey or similar anything is possible. We would suggest taking a look at RAL 7035 as a popular lighter tone.
Zinsser Allcoat Exterior is a high quality, versatile product designed for application to all external surfaces, and offering up to 8 years of protection from weathering and water damage. On top of this, Zinsser Allcoat Exterior contains a biocide to protect the dried coating against fungal degradation, and being self priming there is no need to purchase a separate primer.
