One of the most prominent features of the outside of your home is your garage door. Not only is this passageway functional, but it can also add an aesthetic value to your home. If you're planning to sell your house, the first impression you offer to prospective buyers is vital. Update your garage door in the following ways to improve your curb appeal.

How a Unique Garage Door Can Change Your Home's Appearance

1. Contrasting Color

If your garage door is a similar color to your exterior paint, it can create the impression of empty, blank space. Choosing a color that contrasts with the exterior paint help divide the home's facade and make it more visually interesting. You can add a pop of bright color for a little personality, or match the front door to tie together the home's exterior color scheme. 

2. Visual Balance

Because the garage door is large and usually placed at one side of the home, it can help balance visual elements on the other side. The brighter or darker the garage door color, the more weight it seems to have. With a lighter or more neutral color, the eye is less drawn to it, and it helps to shift the balance. You can adjust your color so that the home looks proportionate and balanced.

3. Enhanced Style

The aesthetic of your overhead door can match or even enhance the architectural style and the overall impression of your home. For instance, if the architecture is elegant and classical, a carriage-style door with iron fittings can complete the look. If you're going for a modern, minimalist style, a garage door with flat, sleek panels is the way to go.
