If you're thinking about selling your home, it's worth casting an eye over your fence. While it sounds like a myth, experts say that fence colors really do decrease property value: vibrant shades can – unsurprisingly – feel a little garish to potential buyers, while muted colors like gray can run the risk of looking flat or dull.
Naturally, keen gardeners would rather direct their attention toward planting than painting fences, but it's worth avoiding certain fence colors. After all, fences don't just serve a practical purpose; they also act as a visual framing device that can have a huge impact on both the aesthetics and the feel of your garden.
