Get Ideas: 19 Garage Door Designs

A garage door shouldn't draw attention to itself. Instead, it should blend in with the design of the rest of the house. When upgrading or remodeling your garage, take into consideration color, style, materials (you wouldn't want a wooden garage door with a brick house) and scale (the garage shouldn't look too big for the house). Hardware matters as well: some automatic doors may have visible fixtures. Taking all this in mind, there are a number of wonderful styles for a garage door, such as Midcentury Modern, Vintage California and Warm Wood Accents. Take the time to research which looks best for your house.

Key Takeaways:

Garage doors that don’t stand out make the best garage doors because every architectural feature in a well designed house are made to be in harmony.
Inconsistent elements on the garage shouldn’t spoil the view from the outside of the house especially where a house emphasizes on simple, clean and horizontal lines.
There are several ways to improve the appearance of a garage door that is due for an upgrade or remodel which include replacing the door or repainting it.

“When viewing the front exterior, the garage door should blend with the rest of the house; your gaze shouldn't be interrupted by any inconsistent elements on the garage or anywhere else, for that matter.”
