5 Ways to Customize a New Garage Door
You may not think of garage doors as a component in your home’s curb appeal. But for many houses, the garage doors can take up one-third of the building’s exterior. That’s a big chance to make an impact!
Here are five creative ways that you can customize a new garage door!
1. The Power of Color
Choosing the color and finish is one of the first big decisions you’ll have to make when it comes time to select a new garage door. Deciding between natural wood, metal or painted doors can be difficult, but it’s worth the time to get this customization right.
Using colors and finishes, you can make the doors stand out as a bold design feature or allow them to blend in to let other design elements shine.
2. Pick Your Panel
Many modern garage doors are constructed from panels, which provides a great opportunity for customization. Panels come in different sizes. You can mix and match sizes and shapes to create your own design, choosing sleek horizontal panels for a vintage look or vertical ones for something that feels more contemporary.
3. Glass Options
Breaking up the solid look of a garage door with glass panels adds appeal and function. Frosted glass allows natural light to come into the garage even when the door is closed.
Families that use their garages as an extra living space will especially appreciate this option.
Consider adding a single row of windows at the top of the door, a modern-looking column of windows to one side, or an entire garage door made from glass panels for a unique, upscale look.
4. Let’s Hear it for Hardware
The automatic opener isn’t the only important piece of hardware to consider when you’re selecting a new garage door. Decorative hardware provides the perfect touch that turns your garage door from ho-hum to homerun.
Matching hardware to your home’s overall style with things like traditional carriage door handles or rustic hinges can help the garage door to look like an extension of the home.
5. Tech Up
One of the most exciting ways to customize a garage door will make a huge difference in the function of the door. High-tech equipment like a keyless entry system or the MyQ Connected Opener adds a layer of safety and convenience you’ll appreciate every day.
