Many potential buyers judge a home based on its exterior, which is why curb appeal matters so much when selling a home. One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve a house’s appearance involves replacing its garage doors. After all, garages span a third of a home’s front, so giving it a makeover with the following tips will make a difference toward a good first impression.

How to Replace Garage Doors for Better Aesthetics

1. Aim for Cohesion

Your garage doors should complement the front door of your home, so consider replacing them both at the same time for a consistent look. If you love your existing front door, try to find a garage door design that mimics it. 

2. Choose Color Carefully

The color of your doors will have more impact on their appearance than any other factor. If you want to contrast your home’s siding, darker colors and materials work best with lighter hues of cladding and vice versa. If you don’t want your garage doors to match the front door, choose a neutral color that will pair well instead.

3. Elevate With Windows

Many garages appear too flat without windows, so choosing doors that feature windows can make your home feel more open and inviting. The size can vary as well, although you may not want to make them too large for privacy and security reasons. Even small features will accentuate the design of your home.
