20 Garden gate ideas

Garden gates are an easy way to elevate your landscape and add a layer of privacy to your home’s landscape.

Much like the front door to your house, a garden gate should be just as warm and welcoming. They can be luxurious, simple, decorated with manicured gardens, or nestled amongst overgrown foliage. No matter your garden or design preference, the good news is that there are endless garden gate ideas that will suit any style and budget.

Discover a variety of ways you can add a garden gate to your home with these garden gate ideas.

1. Romantic entrance 

An iron gate can be romantic, given the right circumstances. What can soften its appearance is soft and delicate swirls that curve throughout the whole gate.

2. Unique opening 

Create a charming entrance with a unique opening to your garden. A circular gateway can make for a breathtaking look. One could even say, magical.

3. White picket fence and gate

To have a white picket fence is perhaps the easiest and effortlessly charming approach to adding a gate. Surround it with shrubbery or a veil of greens to add contrast.

4. Gate decoration

If you want to add a little more excitement to a plain gate, adding a cute little gate decoration will do the trick. You can keep it simple with colourful florals.

5. Brick and iron

Contrast is key if you want something to stand out. The contrast between a modern iron gate with older, weathered red brick can allow the gate to stand out. 

6. Timbre fence 

If luxurious gates aren’t your thing, then perhaps a garden gate that blends into its natural surroundings will suit you better. Opt for a rustic wooden fence. You can even use it to hang up any gardening materials.

7. Amongst the blooms

Who says you have to put up a wall to hide your garden? Show it off by lining your gate with beautiful blooms for everyone to see!

8. Brick archway

Do you want to give your garden an entrance that feels like something straight out of a movie? Go for a beautiful brick archway. Its structure brings a welcoming look.

9. Enchanting white wood

Or lovely pastel blooms could decorate your garden’s enchanting white gate! Opt for flowers that blend well, like hydrangeas. 

10. Garden arbour 

A garden arbour is a beautiful way to welcome anyone into your garden. Decorate it with your favourite flowers to let it stand out.

11. Draped with blooms

Another fantastic idea for an arbour is to drape it with blooms or climbing vines. It creates a colourful waterfall that guests will love to pass through.

12. Metal gate

For a little more security, you can opt for a metal gate with a lock to prevent unwanted visitors from trespassing.

13. Overgrown secret garden

If you’ve ever seen the movie ‘Secret Garden,’ you’ll know about all the mystery and wonder beyond the gates of a garden. Allow your greens to grow out and hide your gate.

14. Whimsical fencing

Let your garden stand out with a unique coloured gate. If you already have a wooden gate, it’s easy to paint over it with another colour to play it up.

15. Between shrubbery

Shrub walls are a great way to add a border around your garden naturally without building any solid structure. 

16. Golden gates

Add brightness to your garden with a sunny golden gate. Not only does this make your landscape even more lively, but it also brings a beautiful contrast to purple or violet flowers.

17. Upcycled wood 

Love a good DIY project? Upcycle any wood you might have to create a rustic, handmade garden gate. It doesn’t have to be too intricate; creating a simple door frame can do the trick.

18. Leveled low 

Have a quaint home? A low garden gate might work perfectly. It’s just enough height to block out intruders while showing off some of your landscape.

19. Glass doors

Working with glass is the perfect approach when you have an indoor garden. This lets the sunlight in without allowing any harsh weather to damage your greens.

20. Structured wood

Protect your garden from strangers accidentally stepping in with a low but structured wooden gate.
