Your garage door isn’t just a functional necessity – it’s a key element of your home’s kerb appeal. With the right choice, it can improve, or at the very least contribute to, the way your property looks. After all, everyone wants their garage to blend in nicely with the rest of their home. So let’s try to answer the question…

How can I match my new garage door to my house?
Start by considering your home’s design. A Victorian or Georgian property with ornate details pairs beautifully with a carriage-style garage door featuring decorative hardware like handles and hinges. For a sleek, modern home, opt for a minimalist flush-panel door in a bold colour. Traditional homes – think brick cottages or Tudors – look great with panelled or sectional garage doors in muted shades. Study your home’s features, like window shapes and rooflines, to ensure the door feels right.

Colour ties it all together. For a subtle look, match the door to your home’s trim or shutters – maybe whites, greys or soft neutrals. Want to make a statement? A contrasting shade like deep blue or charcoal can stand out against a light facade. If your home has natural wood or stone, earthy tones like sage or walnut match wonderfully. Put sample swatches against your exterior in different lighting to see what works.

Add personal touches. Details like windows in your garage can complement and draw out the design of the garage door. Small, square windows suit some traditional Scottish homes, while arched ones give off Mediterranean vibes.

Make sure you get your garage door supplied and fitted by professionals to ensure fit and reliability. A well-chosen garage door not only boosts your home’s charm but also its value – making it a win-win! For garage doors in Scotland look for our branch nearest your home.
