Garage Door Styles
Choose your favorite style garage door for your home. They can all be sustainable designs and painted in bold colors.
Carriage
A carriage style garage door is like an embellished traditional garage door. Also known as the carriage-house style, it is available in steel, faux wood, and real wood options in multiple wood grains and colors. Designed to exhibit historic charm, this style is usually adorned with contrasting hardware, including door handles and hinges. Adding decorative hardware or handles in the center makes it appear that the doors swing outwards.
Any decorative hardware adds a nice touch to the overall aesthetic that the carriage style conveys. You can even complete the look with overlay paneling, depending on your preferences. This style is meant to look old school, and oftentimes the “X” design is a callback to the barn style many homes had with their horse and carriage, hence where the carriage-house name comes from. A carriage style garage door presents an excellent opportunity to embrace old styles in bold colors, so it’s still trendy in 2023!
Clean lines and functional features characterize a modern style garage door. This style relies on smooth and sleek finishes, but of course, there are many variations a modern style garage door can have. Many modern garage doors appear to consist of one panel or a flushed panel, which shows off contemporary and understated elegance. Matte black, full-view glass panels, and other bold combinations create a completely modern look.
Modern
You can decide to have two to five windows placed along the side or faux wood materials for your modern style garage door. You can also decide to feature window configurations like full-view glass and metal accents, so your garage door can be more than just a storage space.
Traditional
Traditional garage doors are the most popular choice for homeowners. The traditional style is typically a sectional garage door, separated by panels made from a steel material. The panels are connected with hinges and roll on a track as the door opens. You can add raised or recessed panels to any garage door material.
While the traditional style is more mainstream, it is a classic garage door style aimed to please potential buyers.
Rather than replacing the entire garage door, a color change or adding a few coats of paint can make your garage door look more modern and stylish. Choose a vibrant red, electric blue, or even a faux wood overlay so that your garage door is the center of attention for 2023.
Get Creative With Your Garage Door
The secret to a trendy garage door in 2023 is working with what you’ve got! You don’t have to replace your entire garage door system for the first trendy style you see. Just like with the clothes you already have in your closet, you can use pieces you currently own but play up to create a more modern look. It’s about getting creative.
As you spend time on your garage door, you’ll realize you can use the space as an office, a workshop, a studio, or any other living space. Bigger glass panels or additional layers of insulation invite more opportunities for creative uses of space.
