Whenever you drive through a neighborhood and look at the houses within, what’s the first thing you notice? You might notice the color of the house, and you may take note of the structural design, but chances are, your eyes will be drawn to the garage door.
For most homes, a large portion of their street-facing facade is the garage door itself. This fact underscores the significance of your garage door’s aesthetic quality.
To enhance your home’s curb appeal in 2022, you should consider some of these garage door trends for the new year.
Farmhouse style
In the past few years, farmhouse style garage doors have become more popular in home design. Perfect for traditional homes located in suburban or rural settings, farmhouse style garage doors aim to mimic the look of barn or carriage-style doors. They usually have distinctive X-shaped crossbeams on the outside and can be adorned with metal handles in the middle, windows at the top of the door or an arch at the top edge of the doors.
Glass panels
We go from the traditional to the modern and minimalist. Homes in tropical or beachside locales would look terrific with glass panel garage doors. Most glass panel garage doors use a metal frame that can be powdered or treated and that can implement different configurations of glass panels that can be frosted, glazed, mirrored or left clear.
Wooden cladding
If your home utilizes horizontal lines in its design, you could improve its curb appeal in 2022 by installing a garage door with wooden cladding. Well suited for ranch homes and those with bricks integrated into their design, garage doors with wooden cladding offer a nice blend of traditional and modern. The slats of a garage door with wooden cladding offer a rustic feel, while the sleek design provides a hint of modernism, deftly mixing the two to give off a unique exterior aesthetic.
Solid steel
If function is more your style than fashion, consider solid steel garage doors. Due to its durability and resistance to wild temperature swings, steel is one of the more popular materials used for garage doors. Because a simple painted steel panel garage door can appear plain, you should think about implementing embossed panels, which would give the door a more three-dimensional look and add some flair to an otherwise minimalist design.
Modern plank with windows
For a cutting-edge way to enhance your home’s curb appeal in 2022, you should take a look at some modern plank garage doors with windows. This style of garage door combines a few elements of doors we’ve touched on above. They often use a steel frame with long and flat windows on one side of the door. This style of garage door provides a contemporary look while successfully navigating the line between flashy and plain. It also works with virtually any style of home.
