Garage Door- Must choose quick but HOW?

8 years ago

I need to choose a new garage door- a set of 2-- as we are doing a whole garage conversion into an art studio. The issue is that I want to update the look of the garage doors but that might mean it wouldn't match the rest of my home's colonial exterior (red brick, yellow almond trim, brown shutters) until we have the budget to paint the brick and get new shutters, etc. and who knows when that will be...SO: Do I go and match it to the ugly current color scheme or go with what I want...which brings me to my next question- what do I want?? I LOVE super modern garage doors but that won't fit the style of a traditional colonial home- would look super weird next to my house! And when I play around on the Home Depot garage door site the options are endless which isn't good for someone like myself. AND I have to choose by tomorrow (Friday!) Any help or guidance would be MUCH APPRECIATED! Thanks!

Is it still going to be a garage or are you winterizing it?

One side will stay a garage and the other will be part of the insulated temperature controlled room, but they will both be insulated matching garage doors...

If that space is going to be a studio you will need natural light , where is that coming from? Remove the shutters, do not paint the brick get a bit more modern front door all the trim black and black door and garage doors with a lot more glass. BTW that tree needs to come out to actually show the entry .

Yes! I agree with getting that tree out of there. As well as the two giant bushes flanking the doorway. Interesting take on making a colonial more modern- I'll look for garage doors with more window options but should I choose the garage door color based on what I want for the future or for what it looks like right now?

If you get a paint-able door, you can change the color anytime you wish.
