30 Eye-Popping Fence Decorating Ideas That Will Dress Up Your Lawn

We have an old fence in our backyard that I have been meaning to decorate in some form or fashion.

I mean, it’s a nice enough fence but it’s just so boring, which is what prompted me to begin looking for creative ways to decorate it.

What I found were 30 amazing decorating ideas for that fence and yours, as well.

From homemade flowers out of paint can lids to vertical gardens, there is a way to decorate any fence that you may have and make it the focal point of your backyard – and not in a bad way.

1. DIY Outdoor Chalkboard

What better way to dress up a boring fence than to create a chalkboard on it? Your kids will love it and you’ll love them getting outside to play on sunny days.

This is a wonderfully inexpensive way to add a bit of decoration to your fence and keep your kids busy – not to mention happy – at the same time.

2. Vertical Succulent Garden

Turn any boring old fence into a work of art when you plant a vertical succulent garden. Succulents are so easy to care for and planting them is a cinch.

A few old pallets or boards left over from other DIY projects give you all you need to make the planters. Just hang them on your fence and then plant whatever succulents you want to create a beautiful green landscaping effect.

3. Upcycled Coffee Table Fence Décor

Give your fence a little boost in decoration and add a place for plants as well when you convert an old coffee table into a fence shelf.

You only need half of the table, so if you have a coffee table that’s intact, you could make two of these. Just cut your table in half and then secure each half to your fence – use it to display garden decorations or potted plants.

4. Outdoor Garden Curtain Lights

Clear Christmas lights will instantly dress up that fence. This is a wonderful way to add some décor to your backyard and give yourself some wonderful lighting for those nights out on the patio.

Just cover your entire fence with lights – and you can use those curtain lights for bushes to make the job a bit easier.

5. DIY Painted Metal Art

You can find metal art at most flea markets and thrift stores and it comes in all shapes and sizes. Turn that metal art into the perfect fence décor with just a little spray paint.

I love dragonflies and I really adore these DIY versions that are made from old table legs. If you don’t have a few legs on hand to use, you can find them really cheap at most thrift stores.

I love the use of old chairs hanging on the fence as planters and the words are created with things that were broken or otherwise unusable.

Those old fence holes are horrible, aren’t they? You certainly don’t want a bunch of holes in your fence. If you have them, you can fill them in with marbles and give your fence a really magical look.

If your fence doesn’t have holes but you still love this look, just drill a few small holes into the wood and then secure your marbles in place.

11. Repurposed Croc Planters

Those old Crocs that you never wear anymore or that the kids have outgrown will make beautiful planters for your fence. Instead of throwing them out, use them to dress up your fence and give yourself loads of room for planting.

The holes in the sides offer great drainage for water and you could have a pair for everyone in the family.

If you don’t have any old Crocs on hand, you can get cheap versions at thrift stores or the Dollar Store.

Take those paint lids that are left over from your past DIY projects and put them to good use as colorful flowers for your fence. Just paint them – if they’re not already painted from your other projects – and use them as the center of your flowers.

Or use several to create a larger flower. Then just paint a stem and leaves and you have a great fence display that doubles as an upcycle project.

35 ideas for decorating the fence with your own hands with a photo

No matter how beautiful and well-groomed the site is, the soul periodically asks for changes. But this does not mean that it is necessary to completely reconstruct the territory adjacent to the house. A couple of elements are enough to make the site sparkle with new colors. One of the options for the transformation can be decorating the fence. In this article, we will share specific ideas.

If you are fed up with the fence, and there is no urgent need to change it yet, then this article is for you. We will show the most creative and at the same time democratic ideas for decorating the fence - you just have to bring the one you like to life.

Blackboard

Probably every child dreams of being free to draw on the walls. Parents in every way suppress such creativity, sometimes not even very humane methods. There is a way out - a school board installed on the fence. Children will be delighted, and you do not have to force them to play in the fresh air. With this inexpensive purchase, you kill three birds with one stone: the wallpaper is intact, the fence is decorated and the children are happy.

Birdhouses

Multi-colored bright birdhouses will not only become a wonderful decoration of the fence, but will also help pass family leisure. And for children, this will turn into a whole ritual - first collect them, then color them and make interesting compositions on the fence.

Glass bottles

The key to an excellent harvest is not only the gardener's skill, but also a good country mood! A charge of joy and positive is guaranteed to give the original decor of the fence. One of the ideas - flowerpots from glass bottles! Such a design element will speak about the extravagance of the owners of the site and emphasize their individuality.

Vertical succulent garden

If the old fence is no longer aesthetically pleasing, no problem! The problem is solved very simply, it is enough to plant a vertical garden of succulents on the fence. And it's not as difficult as it seems at first glance. All you need is a couple of old boards or pallets from which the landing boxes are formed. They are attached to the fence, and plants are planted inside them. Looks amazing!

Garden lights

Excellent winter option! Especially if the event is held in the yard. With such a piece of decor it is both cozy and light!

Butterfly fence

A boring fence can be diluted with colorful butterflies. They can be made independently from any durable material using stencils. Do not use multilayer plywood, in the open air it tends to exfoliate and swell.

Decorating with old furniture

Don't rush to throw away your old unwanted furniture. It can decorate the area. The advantage of this decoration is that it will cost you practically nothing. With a minimum of financial costs, you get a creative and unique design of the site as a result.

Metallic flowers

To decorate a fence with metallic flowers, you will need not so much - the actual metal product and spray paint. And then it all depends on your imagination, you can use any colors and make different compositions. In any case, the fence will be transformed, and the site will sparkle with new colors.

Pots for collecting bags

Old bags gathering dust in the closet can be put to good use! For example, turn them into flower pots and hang them by the handles on the fence.

The second life of garbage

Some of the items that you were about to throw away can make good decor items. For example, the decoration of the caps on the fence. Bright covers form a panel, which is a pleasure to look at!

Old shoes as an element of decor

Have children grown out of shoes? Don't rush to get rid of it. Especially save bright multi-colored rubber boots - they will be useful to you in the decor of the fence! Rubber boots can be used as flower pots and hung on a fence.

Decorative element made of slippers

As a rule, almost every country house is full of slippers, rubber slippers and other similar footwear. They can be a great addition to your landscape design. You can use this decor in different ways. As an option, decorate the fence with slippers. It will look beautiful and summery.

Mirror decor

Any designer will confirm that mirrors visually enlarge the space due to the optical effect. This technique can be used in landscape design, and sometimes even necessary if the area is small. A great option is to attach mirrors to the fence.

Hanging pots

And this is a more standard way to decorate the fence with flowers - put them in beautiful pots that you do not have to buy. You can take old flower pots with chips and hang them in a damaged place against the fence.

Frame composition

When minimalism is in action, style and beauty are guaranteed. Even from the most dilapidated fence, you can make a "candy" thanks to the elements of minimalism. So, for example, you can take old picture frames, paint them in any bright color and make an interesting composition out of them.

Flowers made of plastic lids

In fact, absolutely any lid will do. You can paint them and do anything with them, come up with various combinations: flowers, butterflies, geometric shapes.

Redesigned decor

Surely everyone in the country house somewhere in the attic has old crockery that has not been used for a long time. And among it there are often very beautiful plates and saucers. You can use them for good, for example, decorate a fence with them.

Flower baskets

Another way to decorate the fence with flowers is to hang a flower basket. You can use them as many as you like and place them in absolutely any order.

Recycled fence

Instead of throwing plastic bottles in the bin, you can make a fence out of them, for example, enclosing a flower garden or flower bed. This version of the fence is not only original, but also democratic.

Car tires

Flowerbeds near the house made of car tires are a fairly common phenomenon. And if you attach the same tires to the fence, then it will turn out to be much more interesting. In some cases, such decor will emphasize the hobby of the owners of the site or their professional skills.

Multi-coloured cans

Another option for a flower seat is used cans. Repaint them in bright juicy colors, hang them on the fence and enjoy the transformation of your site.

Window frame

If you hang a window frame on a fence and put flowers, you get something like a showcase. You can also decorate this design with small decorative elements: homemade butterflies, old toys and baskets.

Flowers from wheel covers
