How to Choose the Right Garage Door Colour to Match Your Home

06 February 2023

It may seem like a simple decision to choose the colour of your garage door, but it’s quite challenging. The aesthetic value of colour is enormous, and it greatly affects how your property looks as a whole. The last thing you want is to make a colour decision you’ll later regret because well-maintained garage doors can last up to 20 years. Your decision may be influenced by the style of garage door you choose because sectional and roller doors have different colour possibilities.

We’ve put up a quick guide covering all you need to know about garage door colour options to help you make your colour decisions. When selecting the ideal colour for garage doors, there are several things to keep in mind, including:

Style and Architecture

Depending on your home’s architectural type, some colours may complement it better than others. A modern home would look excellent with a grey, black, or timber garage door, while a classic home would look fantastic with a white or cream garage door.

Windows, Doors and Trim

To make everything look cohesive, it’s a good idea to match the colour of your garage door to the trim around your windows. Consider picking a colour that goes well with these characteristics if your windows, doors, and trim all have the same or similar colours.

Garden and Driveway

Before choosing a colour for your garage door, be sure to take your driveway into account. We recommend aiming for a subtle difference between the drive for continuity and the door. You may also match your garage door to your garden, full of vivid flowers with a more neutral colour choice. Alternately, a bolder colour for the entryway could contrast with a lush landscape.

Walls and Roof

The exterior of your home will greatly influence your ultimate colour decision because your garage door should ideally match the rest of your property. Grey and white are good colour choices because they add contrast to your home without being too overpowering. One choice is to match your garage door to your roof, but this would significantly alter the appearance of your home as a whole.

Climate

The climate in Australia should be taken into account when selecting colours. Use more neutral colours, such as brown or cream, as the sun can quickly warm up dark colours and wipe away light colours in high-temperature locations. You can control the temperature of your garage with the correct garage door colour.
