Fence color for white house?
The photo below is of the view from our kitchen window into the backyard. A few years ago a well meaning family member painted the back fence the color of the Golden Gate Bridge. :-(
The main house (a simple rectangular 50 yr old ranch) is white with a small amount of black trim (on the front door, shutters, and wrought iron gate).
I can't stand looking at the red fence. What color should it be? Black? For some reason I feel like black might be too harsh??? If you have an opinion and even a brand of paint and specific paint color to recommend, I would be thrilled to hear it.
At some point in the future the front of the house will be updated and painted likely all white.
Thanks for your time!

House/window color -- white/white or white/black?
Comments (7)Black. Its more period and no matter what you do in the future will always look good. Dark sashes improve the appearance of the windows as negative space on the facade. Black interior sashes also practically disappear when you look out the window (try it - look out a white framed window and a black framed window - see which one you notice and which one is practically not there.) Finally, white tends to look cheap - vinyl-looking, as you said. And why let a vinyl window company decide what color your windows are for you? I got a feeling youll get white from the way your post was written ......See MoreWhite low fence vs black fence or shrubs?

Comments (17)It’s the norm here to put up property gates and fencing. I live in British Columbia. Canada. The fence is another issue…. The style of fence is the big topic of discussion at home. The house would not be hidden from view if we put a solid 4-5ft fence as the road is higher than the house.We also have a 6ft deep ditch in front of the property where the grass is you can’t see it for the pic....See MoreWhat color front yard fence/gate to go with white house?
