The front of your home is the first thing people see when they approach your property. Whether you’re looking to sell your home and want to make it appealing to potential buyers or you simply want to improve the overall appearance of your property, your garage door plays an important role in kerb appeal. 

Follow our garage door tips to improve the kerb appeal of your home. 

Opt for colour 

Don’t be afraid to use your garage door to inject some colour into your property. Your garage door can be the focal point of your home, especially if you choose a bright colour that complements the rest of the exterior. Matching the colour of your garage door with your front door can pull the overall aesthetic of your home together and make a statement. For a more subtle and contemporary look, opt for dark greys, browns and blacks. 

Accessorise

Accessorising your garage door can make it stand out. Add potted plants, trees or shrubs around the door to keep it looking fresh and welcoming. Decorative stonework on the walls around the doors also looks great. Lots of modern garage doors today can be accessorised with multi pane windows or patterned hinges. These small touches can transform the appearance of your garage door and complement the rest of the exterior. 

Add lights 

Lighting up your home from the outside is a great way to make your property look more inviting and cared for. Consider adding overhead or side lights to your garage door to light it up. Alternatively, consider installing lights in your driveway pointing straight up to bring your garage door to life. Always make sure you choose lighting that complements the colour tone of your property; some lights may be too harsh, whereas others can dull down the colour of your door.
