Wherever homeowners install new garage doors one of the most important considerations is appearance. Let’s face it, for most of us appearance is as important as functionality. As well as being a means of protecting your car or securing your tools and other valuables, a robust new garage door should also complement or improve the look of the rest of your home.
So it’s quite natural to want to maximise the aesthetic appeal of your investment. And that’s where colours come in.
At the Garage Door Company Scotland, we find that, for most of our customers, selecting the right colour is an important aspect of buying new garage doors. That’s why we sometimes find ourselves offering almost as much advice on colour choice as we offer on door accessories.
Depending on the architectural style of customers’ properties, the advisers at our garage doors centres in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock and Dundee sometimes recommend people choose the same colour for their door frame as for their garage door. This creates a stylish, contemporary look, and can even make the house look larger. If you had your heart set on two different colours for your door and its frame, you might at least try matching two shades of the same colour.
Similarly, having the same colour, or two shades of the same colour, for your garage door and the rest of your property is another way of ensuring the appearance of your garage door is in keeping with the overall appearance of your house.
To help you match colours, make full use of the colour charts the Garage Door Company Scotland provides.
Of course it’s not always about paint. The aesthetics of many homes in southern Scotland benefit from garage doors with natural colours and textures. So take a look at the wood grain finishes we offer, too.
Certainly think carefully before choosing a bright colour for a period property and, whatever the age or architectural style of your home, avoid using more than two different colours.
