Slatted wood is a huge trend in modern decor but we mostly see it indoors: slatted wood walls, furniture, accents but what about outdoors? Let’s make our outdoor spaces more trendy, too, applying this trend, it’s very easy and budget-friendly.
Slatted Fences And Privacy Screens
A slatted fence or privacy screen is a thing you might already have, still if you don’t, prefer stained slats loaced vertically, this way you’ll get a lightweight and modern fence. A wooden fence is not the most durable idea but if you add sealer, it will last longer and its look will definitely elevate the style of your space.

Slatted Paths
This is the most unusual solution but it works great for a contemporary, minimalist, Scandinavian or zen garden. A slatted path built of wood is a sturdy path that is great for wet and even swampy spaces but of course, wood isn’t the most durable material but the main advantage is that you’ll never see anything like that in any other place. Make sure you have something else slatted around to create a more cohesive look.
