54 Cool Garage Door Design Ideas (PICTURES) – Get Inspired

Welcome to our picture gallery of 54 awesome garage door designs to get ideas for your own home. Garage doors don’t only represent the style and personality of your home but they provide protection to your vehicles and other valuables which may include your lawn equipment, bicycles or perhaps even your gym equipment. Nowadays, garage doors are typically the first element of a home that you recognize and make the “statement” of the residence. With our list of garage door ideas you’ll be able to find a cool style that will fit the personality of your home while also providing the protection you need.

Most modern houses typically have a garage that can accommodate one or two cars, although some larger homes have room for three and more cars, which could come in handy if your family owns a more extensive car collection.

Whatever its size, the garage can be attached to the main body of the house, or altogether detached. Although there are certain pros and cons to both options, most homeowners will agree that an attached garage is more convenient, as it has direct access to the inside of the house.

Whatever type of garage you have on your lot, one thing is for sure – you would want to have its exterior designed in a way that completes the architectural design of your house.

This means you would want to use matching materials, colors and decorative details. You should also consider your garage door choice – you can choose between regular hinged doors, swing up or roll up doors, or sliding panels.

All these can be designed in a number of ways to give them a clean modern look or a more classic appeal. Moreover, if you are in the process of buying or installing a garage door, homebuilding.co.uk has an excellent guide here.
