When planning a home renovation, most people think about luxurious bathrooms and new trendy kitchens. The most ambitious projects include curb appeal improvements like upgrading the porsche, landscaping for the front yard and perhaps a brand new entrance door. However, one of the last thing that come to mind for people is the garage door.
Whilst most people will argue that if it’s not broken and it works well there’s no point in spending money on it, which is fairly reasonable. The truth is that garage doors, believe it or not, can dramatically increase your curb appeal and add extra value to your property when the time for selling comes.
Standard doors are all right, but if you want to really take your home’s facade to the next level, you need to find the right garage door to go with it. Depending on the style of your home and the colour palette you’ve used on your facade, your garage door can vary greatly. For example, modern garage doors made of frosted glass and aluminium usually fit into standard garage openings, which means that you can give your home a modern twist without too much hassle.
Another idea for modern houses is combining frosted glass with a layer of wood slats for a hip yet organic look. With the lights turned on inside, it makes for a nice play of lights and shadows.
Whether your home is in the city or in the suburbs, industrial garage doors can give your home a cutting edge look with an urban feel. However, the rows and columns of glass panels might need to be adjusted for the tall and narrow opening required to install this door.
If glass and aluminium are not your first choice when it comes to garage doors, wood garage doors come in a massive variety of styles, sizes, and colours. Furthermore, you can combine your wooden garage door with a trellis in the same style and colour for a chic and classic look.
But garage doors don’t have to be used as garage doors only, many people have chosen to use garage doors as floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened to create an al fresco environment inside their homes.
There are many ways in which you can upgrade your garage door and more important, there are many reasons why you should. Curb appeal investments ultimately work in your favour when it comes to market value.
