Designing your outdoor space is just as important as styling the inside of your home. Whether you’re dreaming of a Coastal haven, a sleek Contemporary retreat, a welcoming Hamptons façade or the earthy character of a Mediterranean or Mid-Century Modern home, one design element often gets overlooked – your boundary fence or feature wall style.
Your fence isn’t just a divider. It frames your landscaping, sets the tone for your façade and can elevate your entire outdoor aesthetic.
There are four ModularWalls wall styles for residential homes – SlimWall, TrendWall, VogueWall and EstateWall. Each wall offers additional functionality, without compromising your home aesthetics.
Choosing the right wall style doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Whilst you want something that looks aesthetically pleasing and lasts, it needs to be functional.
So let’s start with your goals. What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to create more privacy? Do you need a retaining solution? Do you want to reduce noise? Or simply want a premium look without the drawbacks of timber or metal fencing.
We’ve created this guide, to help you choose your wall style.
- SlimWall® – Sleek, Modern and Perfect for Narrow Spaces
Best for: Contemporary, Coastal, Mid-Century Modern
If you love minimalist lines and a clean, modern aesthetic, SlimWall is the perfect match. Its slim profile makes it ideal for narrow areas or compact yards where every centimeter counts.
Choose SlimWall if you want:
- A premium look over standard timber or metal fencing
- A modern, sleek aesthetic that elevates your outdoor design
- Better durability than lightweight fencing options
- A fence that can deliver more functionality, including retaining, noise reduction, designer finishes, or customisations.
SlimWall pairs wonderfully with Contemporary homes painted in neutral tones, Mid-Century spaces featuring structured greenery, and modern Coastal homes finished in crisp whites.
- TrendWall® – Designed for Coastal & Poolside Living
Best for: Hamptons, Coastal, Mediterranean
If your aesthetic leans into fresh, bright and breezy – consider choosing white trims, blue tones and classic Hamptons detailing. Designed to suit coastal and poolside locations, TrendWall fits flawlessly in Hamptons, Coastal or Mediterranean style homes. Its durability and customisation potential allow it to elevate any backyard sanctuary.
Choose TrendWall if you want:
- A premium, durable alternative to timber or metal fencing
- A taller privacy fence or noise barrier, up to 2.4m
- Seamless integration of retaining, lighting, infills or custom features
Its clean lines and robust performance make it especially suited to Hamptons façades, customised with batten details, Mediterranean courtyards with textured render, or Coastal backyards where salt air and wind are everyday challenges.
- VogueWall® – The Most Popular Masonry-Alternative Wall
Best for: Contemporary, Mediterranean, Mid-Century Modern
VogueWall is the go-to for homeowners who want a masonry look without the weight, cost or installation difficulties of brick or block walls. With designer appeal and versatile customisation, it works beautifully across a range of modern aesthetics, and was chosen by The Block to complement all five houses, each with their own distinctive style. Read more about that here.
Choose VogueWall if you:
- Want a rendered masonry aesthetic with options for lighting, slats, infills or decorative features
- Face installation challenges such as site access, budget, time or council restrictions
This style pairs especially well with earthy Mediterranean textures, the clean geometry of Mid-Century homes, and the architectural simplicity of Contemporary designs.
- EstateWall® – Strong, Bold & Full of Street Appeal
Best for: Hamptons, Mediterranean, Premium Contemporary
For homes where grandeur and presence matter, EstateWall makes a bold statement. With its large posts and robust structure, it’s perfect for front boundaries, garden walls, security walls and premium perimeters.
Choose EstateWall if you:
- Prefer a bold masonry aesthetic
- Want to boost curb appeal and sophistication
- Need a sturdy lower-height wall for front gardens, retaining or perimeter boundaries
- Want a premium finish without the cost and complexity of traditional masonry
EstateWall aligns beautifully with Hamptons homes featuring manicured hedges, Mediterranean façades with warm render tones, or high-end Contemporary homes wanting a strong architectural edge.
Your boundary or feature wall should complement your home, not compete with it. Whether you’re after coastal calm, modern elegance or bold architectural definition, ModularWalls offers a tailored solution to bring your outdoor vision to life. Get a quote today!
