Garage Doors Don’t Have to Be Boring

It is easy to simply stop seeing main elements of your home. Consider the garage door. You open and close it daily, parking in front of it, yet no longer really seeing it. It is why you may not even notice peeling paint or an outdated and unattractive look to it. Maybe you have noticed and wondered how to give it a boost in character. You can always paint it decoratively, or you can replace it with some of the suggestions we make below.

Keep in mind that a garage door typically comprises around 30-40% of the front of the home, also called the façade. That means you really should give it some new life and boost its appearance if you want your home to look better too.

Here are some homes meant to inspire you to make effective improvements to your boring garage doors:

Aesthetically, the look of a wood door is timeless. You can even get it with a steel garage door!

Create synchronicity between the front of the house and the door by including a row of matching or coordinating windows and decorative hardware

You can also get some great effects by positioning new garage door windows vertically.

Improve the looks of a larger or unattractive set of doors by softening them with a pergola overhead or some decorative accents that update and improve the appearance.

You can go very modern by selecting an all‑glass garage door. Modern and edgy, it also floods the garage with natural light and makes it a welcome spot to spend time.

Don’t overlook the benefits of landscaping and good lighting. Flowers and a new but rustic fixture will alter the looks instantly.
