Orange is the New Black. At Least For Your Sioux City Garage Door.

It's October. The month of pink ribbons and pumpkin spice lattes and warm jackets. It's also the perfect time of year for us at Overhead Door Company of Sioux City to showcase garage doors adorned in that gorgeous fall color: orange.

We know what you're thinking. An orange garage door? In Sioux City? Before you scoff at the boldness of the hue, consider it's wide range of shades and complementary tones. Orange is actually a pretty versatile color; it is at once warm and welcoming while also being playful and charming. Does that sound like your home? (Does it sound like you?)

It's time to breakout of the neutral garage door box, Siouxland. A world of color awaits. Let's fall into it.

Mission Possible: Orange Garage Doors

While orange is a pretty straightforward color, it's best left on doors that are also pretty simple so that the two don't fight unnecessarily. The burnt orange garage doors below are surrounded by a lovely chestnut brown, which is both creates a warm and bright welcome to all who visit and live there. I particulary love how the orange color brings out the grids around the Mission-style windows, a detail that would be lost on a black version of the same door. See how beautiful that turquoise bike is in contrast? You could take a nod from the bicycle and cool down your curb appeal with pops of sweet blues in pots, outdoor cushions, and hydrangeas.

Warm Up to Orange Garage Doors

If you loved the brown-and-orange combo above, then you'll adore this contemporary duo of gunmetal gray and pumpkin. This shed owner could have chosen to stain the garage door to match the beams and side door, but instead made the bold choice to deepen the color palette. Whatever the reason behind it, the natural greens surrounding the shed benefit from the contrast (don't they seem even more lush?). This further proves our point that the right garage door can make everything around it better. Seriously.

Orange garage doors make everything better.

Stain Treatment with Orange Garage Doors

If you are a fan of wooden or wood-look garage doors, you can still add a glimpse of orange to your home's exterior aesthetic. Again, keeping with a simple door, the orange still manages to serve as a blank canvas to the surrounding architecture and landscaping. In this case, it enriches its cool surroundings and lets its solid color presence serve as a steady backdrop to lacy-leafed bushes and slender-bladed grasses. This look is something nearly any home in Sioux City or Yankton could pull off without alarming any HOAs.

Go Bold or Go Home with Orange Garage Doors

This is one exciting house. Not only is it doors galore, but look at all that gorgeous orange! The white interior trim around the windows give it JUST the right break in color while tying it into the rest of the home's aesthetic. We love it when a home has such cohesive curb appeal! (Case in point: how it brings out the exclamation points. Wouldn't you love to feel like this every time you looked at your home? Orange garage doors can do that!).

Pep Up Your "Bored" and Batten.

Board and batten siding with a splash of orange, like these homeowner's did with their detached garage. Pairing it with a light-olive neutral was a great idea, particular since it practically shouts "festive" (ok, so do the suspended balloons). Orange garage doors like this one, especially ones that could be a hidden surprise in a back yard, are a great way to draw interest back and to provide further allure to your entire property.
