Your garage will likely cover your front exterior if you live in a crowded area or community. Although many home designers and realtors are familiar with curb appeal, the concept of garage door curb appeal is still new to them. Your garage door occupies so much space on your street side, so increasing curb appeal to your front yard will help you attract more attention to your property.

You can match your style with contour features
The style of your home is an important consideration. Are you looking for a traditional and outdated facade? Do you live in a more modern area? What do you see in your neighbourhood? Are there many bricks, wood or stonework?
These features can be complemented and enhanced to make sure your garage doesn’t stand out too much in your neighbourhood. This will make your home look more balanced and attractive to neighbours.
You can accentuate your style by using horizontal patterns and vertical lines when you choose the materials for your garage doors. Your garage door design should not be copied, but should instead coordinate with it.
Use Careful Colours to Highlight and Contrast
A neutral, minimalistic colour will soften the curb appeal of your garage’s front. While you can choose steel or wood to create an effect in your front yard, it is best to pick a neutral and minimalistic colour that will complement the exterior of your home. Bold colours are attractive in small amounts, while neutral colours highlight your front door.
Accessory Ideas to Decorate Your Garage Door
You can add many additional features to your garage door design.
Greenery can make your neighbourhood feel safe and welcoming, regardless of whether it is surrounded by trees or shrubs. The addition of steel or ironwork, such as trims or gates, can help to focus the attention on details and match roof designs or fenced areas. Stonework can be used to complement your garage door. This could be the front of your house, the path leading to your garage, or any additions.
Lights for Safety and Functionality
Your garage’s curb appeal will be enhanced by lighting. Spotlights that illuminate the greenery around your garage door can create beautiful shadows. A warm glow can be created by placing lamps on either side of your door.
