Not sure what garage door colour to choose? We understand that choosing the right colour is not always easy, which is why we want to assist by pointing out different factors that should be considered when making the final decision.
Focusing on what you are wanting to achieve with your garage door colour choice is a good place to start. Questions to ask yourself are:
* Do you want a bold statement look for your garage door?
* Do you want a sleek and clean look?
* Are you planning to sell your home and want to your house to have kerb appeal?
* Or do you simply want a garage door that looks great and suits your home?
Once you have decided on what you are wanting to achieve, the colour selection for your garage door becomes much easier.
Another factor to consider is the area your house is in. Are you wanting your garage door to fit in with the style and colours of the other garage doors in the area, or are you wanting to achieve a completely different look?
The colour of the exteriors of your house also needs to be considered. We recommend to select a garage door colour that is going to compliment the colour of your house. And if you are looking at repainting the exterior of your home, make sure you select colours for your extremities and garage door that work well together.
Finally, the value you are wanting to add to your home, and the kerb appeal is of great importance. Particularly if you are planning to sell your home in the future. Your garage can take up to 50% of the front of your home, in some cases even more than that. By spending some more money on your garage door you can significantly increase the value of your home. It is like a meal in a restaurant: they say you eat with your eyes first. If the façade of your home looks appealing, people will be drawn to your home. You may have the most amazing kitchen or internal layout however, if the front of your house doesn’t look appealing, then there is a chance that not many people are going to see those inside features. Choosing the right colour for you garage door can impact your home now and in the future and is a decision that should be made with much thought and care.
