Unique Ways to Decorate Your Garage Door

Tired of the standard garage door look? You don’t have to be. There are infinite ways to personalise your garage door to ensure you have the look you want. Let’s find out what you can do.

Paint

Most garage doors can be painted and this is a good way to change up the look of your door. Choose a colour that will suit your home or business and get painting. You’ll need to use a paint that can withstand the weather and works well with the materials in your door.

Don’t want a plain red or black garage door? Not a problem. You can also paint a mural or hire someone to do one. This is a great way to spice up the look of the garage door and is especially good for your business. A mural will make the space stand out and can alert people to what you do in your business.

Pergola

Building a small pergola over your garage doors means the doors stay the same, but the overall look of the garage will be unique. It’s also good for adding plants growing up and around the garage door, which can make your space look more enticing and homely. Just plant vines on either side of the door and train them up a string to the pergola. You’ll need to trim regularly so the plants don’t interfere with the door function, but they will look amazing.

Hardware

New hardware can really enhance your doors. Even regular doors will do well when they have bronze or iron fittings on them. You don’t necessarily need to add hardware, but it can definitely make your garage door look more elegant. At this point, it’s more for show and decoration than anything else. Just be sure to check that the new hardware won’t interfere with the door’s function.

Trim

Sometimes, changing the look of your garage door is as simple as adding trim around the edge. A neatly painted white trim can look amazing and really set off the garage door, whether it’s a standard colour or painted to match the rest of the house. There are many types of trim available, so there are many ways to change the look of the garage door.

Add a Skin

Don’t like the way the garage looks? You can add vinyl skins or stick-on pieces that will change the door’s look easily. It’s usually quite cost effective and you can make the door look like wood quite easily. Since most people will never get up close to the door, it doesn’t have to be perfect and will be quite impressive.

Of course, the best way to ensure your garage door is what you want is to simply purchase the best choice in the first place. At Cornwall Garage Doors, we offer a range of styles to meet your needs.
