No. 31 Fences & Gates · Mediterranean
Louvered Privacy Fence with Timber Benches
Against a white stucco house, a dark louvered privacy fence lines a flagstone small patio featuring a weathered timber bench and terracotta planters filled with olive trees and succulents.
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
