These Cute Cutouts Are the Design Detail Your Fences and Railings Need

Here's a trend we can't get enough of: Unique cutouts in fences, porch railings, garden gates, doors, stairs, and more. A modern riff on the traditional white picket fence, some are simple and elegant (think circles, stars, and hearts), others adorably quirky (hello, pineapples and guitars!)—but all add unexpected character that delights the eye. Talk about major curb appeal! We rounded up some of our favorite variations, whether they appear just once on a door or are repeated along an entire railing.
