Garage door styles to try
Each idea hands the studio a garage door brief. After you upload a photo you can edit the words, for example to name a different color.
Carriage house
Boards and a row of windows with black handles and hinges: looks like old swing-out doors but opens up. Suits farmhouse and craftsman houses.
Modern black and glass
A black aluminum frame with frosted glass panels: modern and full of light inside. Frosted glass keeps what is in the garage private.
Warm wood look
Horizontal planks in a natural cedar tone, real wood or a wood-look composite: softens a modern or gray house.
White raised panel
Classic short raised panels in white: tidy and traditional, and a white door recedes against light siding.
Same door, bold color
Keep the door you have and paint it: a deep navy, charcoal or green door becomes a feature. Repeat the color on the front door to tie the front together.
Smooth flush panel
Flat panels with no grooves, in matte charcoal or the color of the siding, for a quiet, minimal front.
Choosing a garage door that suits the house
The garage door and the front door are seen together, so plan them together.
- Match the house styleCarriage house doors suit farmhouse and craftsman houses, glass and flush doors suit modern ones, and raised panels suit traditional houses.
- Hide it or feature itA door in the siding color recedes, which helps when the garage faces the street. A contrasting color or a wood finish makes it a feature: then keep the rest of the front simple.
- Windows bring lightA row of windows lets daylight into the garage and breaks up a large door. Frosted or obscured glass keeps what is inside out of sight.
- Repeat with the front doorRepeat the color, the wood tone or the hardware finish of the garage door on the front door, and the house reads as one design.
How to use the garage door visualizer
Photograph the house with the door closed
Stand at the end of the driveway or across the street in daylight, with the garage door closed and the front of the house in the frame. Move the car out of the way if you can.
