3 Tips for Choosing a Garage Door to Enhance Your Old Home

3 Tips for Choosing a Garage Door to Enhance Your Old Home

Garage doors are not only the face of your garage but an important part of your house’s overall façade. The garage door you choose may affect the entire look and feel of your home from the outside, and this choice can be especially challenging when you have an older or traditional home. So how do you pick a garage door that enhances your home?

Old House Online shares tips on how to choose a garage door for older homes. According to the post, finding a garage door is all about playing the matching game to improve your curb appeal. Three tips are recommended to accomplish this, and they include the following:

  1. Match the color of your garage door with the color of your house, particularly the siding and trim colors. You can also choose complementary colors that will blend well with your home’s exterior.
  2. Match the details of your garage door with the details of your front door and windows. For example, you can include a row of top lights in your garage door that mimic the style of the other windows in your home.
  3. If you are really having a difficult time finding a suitable garage door, you can look for inspiration in other older homes from the same era. You may consider swing-out wooden doors typical of historic carriage houses or stable doors that feature cross-bucks at the bottom.

Using these tips, finding the right garage door for your home will hopefully be made easier. If you have more ideas, please don’t hesitate to share them by leaving a comment below.
