It’s tough to find a solution for the boundary wall design of a home. There are many things to consider from the aesthetic aspect to the durability of the material. You need to make sure that whatever you build is easy to maintain and that it doesn’t look dated in years to come. In this blog, we look at some of the most common designs for residential boundaries.
1. Japanese Garden Wall
This garden wall draws inspiration from picture-perfect Japanese gardens, with a profusion of flowers growing all over the gate and creepers on trellis walls alongside. For safety, the trellis can be made out of barbed wire. There is enough (but not total) privacy, and the garden inside is a continuation of the fence itself.
2. Picket Fences
Picket fences do not give your home adequate privacy, as they do not entirely block visibility. This style of fencing can provide a very charming, country cottage touch to your home. For added privacy, you can always grow prickly shrubs along the entire boundary, or coax a cascade of lovely bougainvillea to grow along the fence so that no one can look in. The second boundary wall in the image below is made of natural stone in a burst of colours.
3. Stucco Concrete Wall
This stucco plastered wall perfectly matches the design vocabulary of the villa and is topped by the same Spanish pot tiles that are used on the sloping roof as well. The pretty peach is a lovely foil for the slate tiling.
4. Go Green
Thick shrubbery completely covers this boundary wall, blending in well with the greenery both within and without the garden. Showcasing nature’s idea, this option gives complete privacy and safety as well.
5. Metal Fence Boundry Wall Design
Mild steel vertical rods are evenly spaced and fixed atop a plastered German smear brick wall to form this boundary. The grills being vertical do not allow easy climbing, and the green growth along the wall screens the view from the nosy neighbour.
6. Sustainable Fencing
If you’re looking for a sustainable, ‘green’ option for your boundary wall, this woven bamboo fence ticks all the right boxes. This simple fence is very popular in Asian homes. Bamboo grows very quickly and is considered an eco-friendly, sustainable plant. The flexible fibres are tough and durable and can withstand all kinds of weather.
7. Exposed Brick Wall
This formal wall uses exposed brick, juxtaposed with metal bars with creepers growing up the sides. The metal gate is formal and imposing, allowing a glimpse of the garden beyond.
8. Peek-a-Boo Compound Wall
What’s not to love about this pretty arched window that’s set in the middle of this plastered brick boundary wall. The wrought iron arch has white blooms growing up the sides, while the planter box below holds a profusion of purple flowers. This villa designer too repeats the elements from the building architecture in the boundary wall.
8. Stone Cladded Boundary Wall
The high stone wall that forms the boundary of this private swimming pool is framed in wood. The niche in the wall makes room for an intimate poolside seating area, while the wooden frame around the stone extends above into a pergola cover.
The style of your boundary wall should reflect the architecture of your home. There are plenty of classical and modern designs that you can choose from, and if you need help zeroing in on the perfect choice, the HomeLane team is always at hand!
