1. Alternating colour schemes

First and foremost, the transformative magic of paint is one of the most accessible customisation tricks on the market.
Have some fun with your colour schemes, like this alternating pool fence design! Hot tip: painter’s tape will be your best friend for this type of project.

2. Feature tiled fence panels

Another effective, accessible way to create decorative fence panels is with a tiled finish! Take a page out of Three Birds Renovations’ book and create a unique finish with a creative tile pattern.

3. Timber feature panels

Mix earthy materials into your fence design with timber infills. Integrate slats along the top, play around with timber battens or invest in a whole feature bay!

5. Fence panels meet pergola

Why not have both? These stunning decorative fence panels deliver the best of both worlds, with screens that travel up and over the entertaining deck.

The result? A unique aesthetic, plus a practical purpose, thanks to the shade from the pergola!

6. Vertical fence panels

Lines help to create structure and elongation within architecture. Our fence panels were installed vertically rather than stacked horizontally in this example, resulting in a striking vertical pattern.

7. Expressed joint fencing feature

Further to this concept, horizontal lines can effortlessly make a fence seem longer; and, as a consequence, make the space appear larger!

Expressed joint features in many designs — including Alisa & Lysandra’s iconic Albert Park reno — to create a striking architectural edge. Who knew such a simple feature could have such a dramatic effect!

8. Decorative screen infills

Laser-cut decorative fence panels can easily be found online — or even at your local Bunnings. For example, the customer has integrated decorative screens in the same colour as the wall for this project’s subtle yet striking aesthetic.

Whether you’re looking for a contemporary design or a classic style, decorative infills will instantly add elegance to your home.

9. Contrasting screen infills

On the other hand, some homes are born to stand out rather than blend in. So, you can make a bold statement by integrating a contrasting screen colour into your fence design.

The mixed materials and textures in this VogueWall work beautifully with the smooth panels, intricate screens, and timber panelling!

10. Panel-affixed feature screens

Last but definitely not least, decorative fence panels can also be added post-installation. Give your existing modular wall or fence a revamp by fixing elements to the panel!

For instance, the following project used a mix of tiling, lighting and decorative screens; all achieved post-installation.
