Need some help figuring out what will make this garden Wall pop.

About thirty foot made of old 2x6 lumber and 4x4 posts. Screening off our barn area from the backyard. I have built part of a multi level deck adjacent to the wall. Still need to build the planters along the bottom. Suggestions on what to add to the wall please.

  • Have you thought about painting or staining it white? It doesn't have to be a stark white either- you can find stains that look more like a white wash at your home center.

    It would draw attention to the fence and away from the background noise behind it and make your fabulous accessories really pop! I love the little lizard :)

      Was distressed but didn't look right so stained it with a color that compliments the deck. Looking more for add on that will help make it stand out

      Was thinking some type of draping greenery would help.

    Hi Robert, I make lots of outdoor art windows. If you have extra treated wood, you could make a few of these to hang along your fence and decorate with Southwestern items! Maybe paint them a barn red or white wash.

    Hope this helps!

    I would put succulents in containers hanging from your fence

    I think the problem is that you have no focal point. You need at least one large piece to build your décor around. I believe you have too many small pieces scattered around. Look for a large sign, old window, hanging planter, etc. then arrange the rest of your items around it.

    How about a series of colorful birdhouses....

    The first thought that came to me was a rainbow color palette and large items or a closer grouping of similar objects.
