MATCHING YOUR GARAGE DOOR TO YOUR HOME
2

• A garage door should never be an afterthought,
  and aside from complementing your home, it can
  add significant value to it. Choosing the right
  style and design of garage door is as important
  as choosing the right style and design of
  windows, doors and even the roof of your home,
  and below are some considerations to make when
  trying to match your garage door to your home
• Think carefully about color
• Do you want your garage door to stand out from
  your home, or blend in? Do you want a neutral
  garage door that doesnt detract from your main
  entranceway, or if your garage door is the main
  entrance point to your home, do you want it to
  make a real statement in bright and bold colors?

• If your garage door is visible from the street,
  youll need to think very carefully about your
  choice of color, and fortunately, there are
  plenty to choose from. If your garage door is
  made of steel, fiberglass or natural wood, there
  are endless options to paint it the color of your
  choice, but you might want to consider your
  neighbors before going too color crazy!
• Accessorizing your garage door
• Some garage doors, such as carriage house style,
  come with design features that make them stand
  out, but if youre concerned that your garage
  door is bland and uninteresting, talk to your
  local garage specialist about accessorizing it to
  make more of a statement.

• You can also add decorative items such as potted
  plants around your garage, and even make your
  driveway or paved areas that surround it, look
  more interesting to draw the eye towards your
  garage door.

5

• Bring light
• If you want your garage to look as attractive as
  your home, consider using light in creative ways.
  While overhead and side lights are an important
  safety feature for many homes, they can also help
  create an ambient atmosphere and make your home
  and garage look sleek, sophisticated and
  welcoming. Up lighting is a wonderful way to give
  a soft light when pointed into trees, shrubs and
  plants, and it creates interesting shadow and
  light patterns to complement your home. Have the
  lighting lead the way from the garage to the
  front door, and you could create an even more
  dramatic effect.

• Think about consistency
• Even if you want your garage door to make a
  statement, most designers recommend that you at
  least try to have it complement the overall
  design of your home, and if youre planning to
  sell up sometime in the future, a matching door
  may prove more appealing to buyers.
• A reputable garage door specialist will talk you
  through all the options available, and will
  arrange for your new garage door to be
  professionally installed.
