A beautiful home is the envy of the neighborhood, and one easy place to begin boosting your curb appeal is with your residential garage door. When redesigning your door, there are many approaches to take. Consider the following to increase curb appeal without breaking the bank.

How the Garage Door Can Help Your Home Stand Out 

1. Start With Color

Color will make the greatest impact on a home’s exterior, so choose wisely. You can select a color that matches the home siding or stucco. If you have a brick home or natural stone features, you can be bolder and use a rich red or blue that makes the residential garage door pop. You can also create a subtle accent by having the color match the trim or by using a natural wood stain. Gather a collection of color swatches so you can apply them directly against the home exterior and see what works best.

2. Create Depth

Garage doors can have vertical features, horizontal ones, or both. These patterns will add stunning depth and texture to the property. If your home has a more intricate appearance, such as natural stone around the door, horizontal patterns will provide relief for the eye. Vertical ones will work well against smoother home exteriors and can often make a residential garage door stand out. Consider both overhead and barn-style doors when deciding on a pattern.

3. Accessorize

Once you’ve selected the door and color, consider what final details would further enhance the design. Choosing brass, copper, or stainless steel hardware can be gorgeous against neutral colors. You might also want to add window panes to give the garage natural light and introduce sophistication to the design.
