How to match your garage door with your front door
First impressions count, and never has this been more true than with your house.Â
One way of making a style statement is to match your garage door with the colour and design of your front door. Doing this successfully will make a synergistic statement by marrying together these key decorative features of your home.Â
To help you get the right combination, the Doormatic team has put together this handy guide to matching your garage door with your front door.
What are the benefits?
When a front door and garage door complement or echo each other’s style, it comes with multiple benefits, including:Â
- The creation of a truly cohesive and polished appearance to impress visitors, buyers and neighbours alike.Â
- Enhancing your home’s overall value. It’s well-known that increasing kerb appeal can boost the asking price of a house.Â
- The expression of personality and style through exterior design, which can be achieved through the materials, design and colour you choose for both the garage door and the front door. For example, you may want them to match exactly or you may prefer for them to suggest the style of the other.Â
Now you know the advantages of coordinating both door types with each other, it’s time to take a look at how you can achieve this in a practical way.
How to match your garage door with your front door
There are several easy techniques for matching a garage door with a front door. Let’s explore some of them.
- Choose a matching set: The most straightforward way to twin the two doors is to purchase a matching front and garage door. Here at Doormatic, we supply a stunning range of matching sets for the homeowner seeking perfect synergy. Simply browse our website or ask our team how you can achieve this uniform look at home.Â
- Mirror your choices: If you haven’t bought a matching set or there is a time difference between purchases, you can mirror the traits in the established door. For example, selecting the same material is a great starting point. You can also paint your front door in a matching or similar shade to the garage door to ensure that consistent colour story. You can also reinforce the pairing by incorporating the same features, such as frosted windows or certain styles of hardware.
- A subtle nod: Perhaps you just don’t want to be so matchy-matchy but still tie things together nicely? A more subtle reference to the style, material or colour of the other door can be very effective at resonating with the other without being identical. This allows them to stylishly complement each other while still being effective as a standalone piece. For instance, you can choose complementary colours rather than identical colours, or opt for similar windows or decorative features without making them exactly the same.
Whichever approach you take, remember to always consider the architectural style of your home. For example, if your property has a more traditional or cottagey vibe, then a warm wooden door may be more appropriate. However, if your home is sleek and modern, you may want a more contemporary option as the perfect finishing touch.Â
