Your home’s curb appeal can be impacted by many factors. If you don’t consider updating your garage door just as you would your landscaping, windows, or entry doors, you could be missing a big opportunity to elevate your home’s exterior value and aesthetic.
This blog highlights the top garage door trends to consider when looking to up the appeal of your home’s exterior.
Modern
Modern-looking home exteriors are minimalist, sleek, and are often built with large windows. This modern trend has given way to modern garage door styles that feature much more window space to complement this style.
A garage door with an aluminum frame and many window panes should be at the top of every homeowner’s wish list. Not only does this style look great from the outside, it also adds a flood of natural light into a (typically) dark garage.
If you are someone who works in your garage, you’ll appreciate the added light, especially in the winter. There are also several types of specialty glass that can be installed to achieve the privacy that you desire.
Carriage-House
Carriage-house garage doors have a modern farmhouse aesthetic. This style has a vintage feel with sophisticated and modernized updates. Carriage-house garage doors come in a number of styles and colours — most commonly with the appearance of woodgrain — and are usually crafted with multiple layers of steel and insulation for durability and warmth. If your personal style is more traditional than modern, carriage-house garage doors are the style for you.
Vertical Windows
Garage doors with more windows are undoubtedly a growing trend and that’s why vertical windows are showing up more and more. This style is highly customizable and allows for more natural light to fill your garage. This door style is very modern and will suit a home with a similar design. Available in many finishes and colours, this door is made of steel is available with or without grooves in the panels.
