Garage Door Trends for 2019
It's all about curb appeal these days and why not since there are so many more options available? Partly responsible is the abundance of home improvement shows. A few years ago new home buyers want to have a home that was move-in ready. And now the bar has been raised again. Now homeowners want a home that is gorgeous inside and out. Which leads us to our favorite topic garage doors.
One simple way to boost the look of your home is by upgrading or updating your garage door.
We are seeing several design trends popping up around Minneapolis and St Paul and here are a few of our favorites:
Low Maintenance Elegance
Wood Accents are a popular trend in interior design but some homeowners don’t want to deal with the upkeep. There’s hope, faux wood garage doors are made to look like wood but they are made out of steel or fiberglass. Provides you with durability while giving you the natural look you want.
Be Bold
Homeowners want to stand out among the neighborhood, resulting in bolder, more vibrant color choices for their garages. Picking a color that complements your home rather than blends in gives your home a modern and unique look. Use your door to share something about your personality and take a chance to express yourself. Shown on the Bloomington house at right is a black garage door on a dark gray house with wood accents.
Let in the Light
Garages are being for a variety of reasons these days, adding windows allows more natural light to pour in increasing the usefulness of the space. Not to mention it adds artistic value to your home. And personally, I like having windows in the garage in the darkness of our Minnesota winters. Every little bit helps. Shown at right is a garage door with an aluminum frame loaded with windows. Let the light in. And if you are concerned about feeling too exposed you can choose a variety of glass options to reduce the visibility into your garage.
