Between trimming and greening-up your grass, filling flower pots, weeding garden beds, and painting siding and trim, you put a lot of work into improving your home’s curb appeal. But many homeowners overlook one giant piece of your home’s exterior, your garage door. For some home styles, the garage door can take 20 to nearly 50 percent of frontage space. Don’t let this valuable space go to waste. Use it to help boost your home’s curb appeal.

Tips To Boost Your Garage Door’s Look

1. Update the color. Steel, fiberglass and wood garage doors can all be stained or painted. Choose a color that will neutralize your door. Design experts advise not to match with your front door, instead, choose colors that allow the front door to pop and the garage door to disappear. Dark gray, browns and blacks are all great contemporary colors but make sure whatever you choose coordinates with your existing roof and siding.
2. Accessorize your door. Carriage house doors have built-in features that give modern doors an historic look, like patterned hinges and multi-pane windows. Potted plants, topiaries, trees and shrubs help break up the space a garage door takes up. Many homeowners are adding trellises and pergolas to add even more depth to the door.
3. Add lighting. Whether you hire an electrician to add outdoor sconces or install DIY solar lights in the landscaping, bringing more light to your garage door space are not only beautiful but functional. The brightness increases security around your home. The more light you add, the more dramatic the look.
4. Repair broken panels. Cracked, bent or broken panels can make your garage door look shabby no matter how much paint you use. A reputable garage door company can replace panels and/or weather stripping to help make your door look its best.
