No. 16 Fences & Gates · Mediterranean
Arched Wooden Gate in Stucco Wall
An arched wooden gate set within a white stucco wall bordered by pink bougainvillea opens onto flagstone paving inside a courtyard planted with olive trees and terracotta pots.
Design notes
Mediterranean design is about shade and thick walls. Look for stucco in warm neutrals, terracotta or travertine underfoot, arches and loggias that throw deep shadow, and gravel courtyards rather than lawn. Water is small and central — a fountain, a rill, a tiled spa — and planting is drought-tolerant: olives, cypress, lavender, rosemary and bougainvillea. Wrought iron, blue-and-white tile and a long table under vines finish the picture.
What to look for
- Height, and whether the top is capped or open
- Which side faces out and how posts are spaced
- Planting on both sides so the fence reads as a hedge line
