Default making a garden look bigger

"Vox Humana" in
news


I agree with Pam. If you paint a fence white, you eye is immediately
drawn to it. It leaves no doubt where the space ends. To make you
space look larger, you can sometimes borrow a view from a neighboring
area. If the fence is obvious, the illusion is spoiled. I would
choose an earth tone for the fence and interrupt the view with some
tall plant material so the fence completely disappears in areas. You
might also use the fence for vines to obscure it.




avoid painting fences.if you want to darken the fence, maybe use some kind
of *non-peeling* staining liquid. watered down india ink ?
