The garage door can represent a big portion of your house\u2019s fa\u00e7ade. So it is important not to forget about them. In the middle of a house makeover? Make sure to tackle the garage door and make it fit your needs and desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s article, we\u2019re looking at five garage door designs and how they fit into your home’s overall style. If you’re applying a style to an existing door, make sure the garage door is in good working condition before you start. If needed, you can always call on a garage door repair professional<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what if your home doesn’t have a garage at all? Well, if you have space you may want to know how to build a garage<\/a> and then add the door afterwards. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garage Door Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your home has its own style. And there are many types of garages<\/a> to go along with that style. Here are some current designs when it comes to matching a garage door to your home’s look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side Sliding Sectional Garage Door <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most garages come with doors that simply open \u2013 on the outside or outside \u2013 or that roll up. However, for a simpler and space-saving design, you can always try side sliding sectional doors. These are perfect for when the garage has a non-standard shape. Or, if the ceiling is used for storage or features d\u00e9cor elements. Side sliding sectional doors also come with a minimalistic look, fit for a modern house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vintage California Garage Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we have vintage<\/em> and California<\/em> in the same sentence, we\u2019ll most likely think of classic wooden doors, similar to barn doors, and with flowers surrounding the garage\u2019s entries. Maybe use brick wallpaper on the garage\u2019s walls to give your garage the look of the old, Spanish-style California design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakeside Garage Doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here we might be talking about a look similar to a fishing hut. In this case, the garage door can be made of wood or reclaimed wood, but it should also have windows at the top. The top of the garage door can be arched and maybe even feature a lamp above it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midcentury Garage Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for the 60s or 50s garage door style, then what you need is frosted glass. This style can be paired with houses that have a minimalist design. The garage door can feature frosted glass in the shape of either squares or rectangles, with a dark, metal frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roller Garage Door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike classic garage doors, that cover up most of your ceiling, roller garage doors take little to no space. Typically a very industrial design. Using roller garage doors leaves you with a lot of space inside your garage. For example, since the ceiling will be free, maybe install an overhead lamp, perfect for those evenings when you\u2019ll be working on your car. People with a lot of outdoor equipment can install pulley systems to store bikes or canoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matching Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your garage door to fit in with the rest of your house, you can use paint that blends in with the home\u2019s architectural design<\/strong>. Or add wood strips, then paint them with a highlighting color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of styles and designs that can be approached when tweaking your garage doors. However, the idea here is that you\u2019d want them to either fit perfectly with the rest of your home or be entirely <\/em>different. You may have a minimalist, all-white home fa\u00e7ade, but you can have your garage door made of dark, reclaimed wood. Creativity is essential if you’re considering a bold change to your garage door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it! We hope this information has inspired you to think more<\/em> about the impact your garage door has on the appearance of your entire home. If you need a garage door installed you need to call an expert. However, some maintenance items are DIY projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
