Match Your Garage Door With Your Midcentury Home
If you have a midcentury home, you’ve probably put lots of time and money into cultivating and maintaining a look that’s fresh yet timeless. If you’re thinking about upgrading your garage door, you’ll want to choose a model that complements the style of your house.
Luckily, you can match your garage door to your midcentury home with ease by keeping a few simple considerations in mind.
Choose Your Garage Door’s Material
The first step to choosing a garage door for your midcentury home is to select a material that suits your needs. Choose a medium that looks appealing and matches the style of your house. You should also consider climate and durability. Your garage door should be able to endure any outdoor condition that comes your way.
Consider some of these popular material choices for your midcentury garage door:
- Glass: This option is lightweight, durable and great for high-wind areas. It can be frosted, powdered, tempered or insulated, depending on your environment.
- Wood: While it’s more costly than other materials, wood has a classic, timeless appearance.
- Aluminum: This versatile metal can give your home an artistic look. It’s corrosion-resistant, lightweight and easy to work with.
- Fiberglass: This option is durable and crack-resistant, and it has insulation for both high and low temperatures.
- Stainless steel: This contemporary material can withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion. It is strong and low maintenance.
Select Your Garage Door’s Style
The midcentury style focuses on conveying a modern look through clean geometric lines, simple framework and asymmetrical design. This striking style juxtaposes traditional and contemporary elements for a unique, eye-catching appearance.
When matching your garage door to your midcentury home, consider implementing these common style components to keep the look alive:
- Thin, horizontal wooden slats
- Broad, vertical windows
- No external hardware
- Flat, flushed exterior panels
- Dark and medium wood accents
Pick Your Garage Door’s Color
When choosing a color scheme for your garage door, ask yourself if you’re looking to match the color of your home, complement it or add an accent with a contrasting color. If you decide to incorporate multiple hues or patterns, be sure that the design enhances your home rather than minimizes it. Matching your garage door color with the color of your front door is a sure way to create a uniform, cohesive look.
Some popular midcentury color schemes include:
- Light colors: White, gray, beige.
- Earth tones: Browns, greens, reds.
- Bright colors: Orange, blue, yellow.
