With dozens of home styles currently on the market, why shouldn’t you select a garage door that’s as unique as your home?
Whether you’re remodeling or undertaking a new build, it’s possible to find a complementary garage door style, whether it’s traditional, contemporary, Craftsman, Colonial or mid-century. With further customizations based on materials, hues, and finishes, your garage door can be a perfect fit for your home and lifestyle.
Garage Door Styles
The style of your home sets the foundation for the type of garage door you should ultimately choose. Building a modern townhome, condo or house? Or are you planning a remodel of a Park Tudor or a 1950’s-style ranch?
Make sure the aesthetics of your new garage door fits your home. Consider the following garage door styles:
Craftsman: The clean lines of a Craftsman or Mission style home demand the same styling in a garage door. These doors are distinguished by the raised panels and streamlined windows. Look for carriage house garage doors among these styles.
Modern/contemporary: If you live in a contemporary or modern home, garage door choices have significantly expanded in recent years. Not only do you have numerous options in material construction, you have garage door styles that range from minimalist to bold. These options can include long panels that seem to disappear into one sleek surface. They also include designs with or without window panels.
Traditional: If your design aesthetic — or at least that of your home — aligns more with Colonial, Victorian or Cottage, you can choose from traditional garage door styles in addition to more recent variations. If you’re remodeling a historic home, you may want to engage an architect or a professional garage door installer experienced in historic buildings. By focusing on windows and fixtures, you can choose a garage door that is cohesive with your home. In some cases, it may be appropriate to select a custom or semi-custom garage door.
Midcentury: With a mid-century design aesthetic, you can opt for a combination of contemporary and traditional characteristics. You can choose from among garage doors with slightly grooved rectangular panels, for example.
Materials and Colors
Give your garage door an even more distinctive look by choosing from various materials and finishes. For example, wood pairs well with more traditional home designs like Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial. With modern homes, you can broaden those options to include fiberglass or metals like steel and aluminum.
Customize your garage doors even further with color and finishes. With wood, those options can include a wide range of finishes from painted white or a deep mahogany stain. Metal garage doors also are available in a wider range of colors, including bold blues, barnyard reds, cool greys and deep greens.
With so many garage door styles available, your home’s curb appeal will definitely get a boost. Contact Garage Doors of Indianapolis to explore options!
