In every neighborhood, whether it’s an historic district, the suburbs, townhouses or a gated community, people want their homes to appear attractive and well taken care of. It increases neighborhood pride and, more importantly, home values in the area. If just one or two homes on a block are improved, values of homes on the whole block automatically go up. Appearance is important, and even though front doors, windows, fencing and landscaping are essential parts of curb appeal, so is your garage door. And, especially in the last decade, custom and trendy garage doors are becoming more and more common.

Garage Door Trends and How You Can Change the Look of Your Home

When we think of a garage door, chances are you have the typical white-ish, sectioned door with the row of windows that run just above eye level. There’s nothing wrong with it- it’s utilitarian and it looks just fine. But it’s not your only option, and in 2021 it’s likely not even close to your best option.

Companies like us can help you create custom garage doors for your home that show your style and your pride in keeping up your home’s appearance. You can change the layout of the windows, maybe have a vertical row on one side of the door instead. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, textures and materials that will help the outside of your home pop. You can even customize the shape, maybe by adding an arch to the façade of your house to make the door appear curved. If you have the room, you can even install a garage door that opens horizontally, like trendy indoor “barn doors.” You are definitely not limited by options, and any customizations you choose don’t make the use of your garage door less effective, so consider updating the appearance of your home with a unique, custom door that shows observers and neighbors that you care about your home and also the neighborhood in which you live.
