Garage doors are one of the most important entries to a home. For many families, garage doors are used multiple times a day. But, they also take up a significant portion of the home’s outward appearance. Like any other part of a home, custom garage doors have different styles and trends that come and go over time.
Here are five trends for custom garage doors that can improve the value and curb appeal of your home.
Smart Technology
Many newly built homes are designed to include smart features. Smart homes may have innovative technology that connects thermostats, lights, locks, and more through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to a smartphone.
Custom garage doors are no exception to this trend. Through a MyQ connected opener, your smartphone can connect to and control your garage door.
Increased Home Security
Another popular trend for homeowners is to increase their home security through their garage doors. Just like Wi-Fi enabled cameras and video doorbells have made homes safer than ever before, a strong, properly operating garage door is an important factor in home safety and security.
Many homeowners are opting to choose durable, steel-based garage doors that provide excellent security. When paired with a smart home control, homeowners can even open and close their door remotely or get an alert if the door is opened when they aren’t home.
Adding Color
When people think of a garage door, the color white may come to mind. In 2021, homeowners are turning to darker colors and hues to give their homes a more refined look. Popular colors for custom garage doors right now include grey, yellow, teal, brown, and even black. Take a look at our gallery to explore examples of this stunning trend.
Carriage Doors
One of the biggest trends in interior design lately has been the farmhouse style. To match this more rustic interior style, many homeowners have chosen to add carriage house or farmhouse accents to their custom garage doors. These accents may come in the form of wood-faced garage doors, iron strap hinges, decorative hardware, and a grooved panel design.
Adding Windows
Another creative trend for custom garage doors in 2021 is to let in the light by adding some glass panels. With custom garage doors, there are a number of ways to add windows. One of the more common trends is to add a column of 3 to 5 windows on one side of the garage. Check out this beautiful example from our gallery.
