One of the most exciting times in a person’s life is when they have the opportunity to build or design their home and the elements inside and out. Our homes are where we feel most comfortable, where we can relax, and where we can express ourselves. As you begin thinking about how you want your home’s exterior to look – you may be wondering how to complement your style with the right garage door.

Fortunately, garage doors have evolved a lot over the last 35 years – and we know because our team has seen it all. There are so many styles, colors, finishes, and upgrades that there is no home design trend that cannot be matched up with the perfect garage door. And hey, if you have trouble – our team at Sub Doors is on standby to help you figure it out.

Garage Door Trends

Of course, we can’t give you the matchups without first diving into what is trending. For new home builds or renovations – these trendy garage door styles will not only look beautiful but increase your home’s value and appeal. Your garage door is one of the best investments you can make when it comes to home upgrades (with an ROI of 194%!) – so it is worth making it the best you can.

New Transitions

While there are new styles, there are also some older trends that may be heading to the bottom of the list. While carriage-style doors are still a timeless way to add charm to your garage, more and more designers, builders, and homeowners are choosing more modern looks.

Color Trends

For over a decade, black, white and greys have been reigning supreme in the world of home design – and this includes garage doors. White garage doors offered a clean, unobtrusive look that went with most designs, but white is no longer on top! Many homeowners are now embracing darker colors – even black – which adds a level of modern intrigue.

Embracing Rustic

In addition to the dark colors, home designers are adding wood elements all around the exterior. The best part is that steel and composite garage doors can look like woodgrain, giving you the benefit of durability and rustic beauty.

All About the Accents

The latest garage trends aren’t just about the color or material, but the accents. While many homeowners can accent their home exterior with gorgeous landscaping (which we highly recommend), adding things like windows to your garage door can enhance the beauty, exaggerate the depth, and bring more light to your work area. Speaking of light – modern upgrades in exterior lighting will give your garage door an automatic upgrade.

Another less visible accent is opting for insulated garage doors which provide a whole slew of awesome benefits you can enjoy year-round!
