Tips to Choose Matching Front Door and Garage Door

Both your front door and your garage door are major players when it comes to the curb appeal of your home. These two doors are oftentimes the first thing people notice when they see your house, and they make a huge impact on what people think of your house. Your front door and garage door set the tone for the vibe and feel of your entire home, that’s why our team at Bob’s Advance Garage Doors always recommends getting a matching front and garage door!

When it comes to choosing your garage door and your front door, you want to take your time – don’t settle! This is the first and last thing people look at when they see your home, and you want it to match the entire vibe and aesthetic you went for on the inside of your home.

There is so much more than liking the style of a garage door – you can’t just go to the store and pick one out that you like, you have to consider a lot more than just that. Here at Bob’s Advance Garage Doors, we came up with a list of things that you should always consider when choosing a matching front door and garage door.

4 things to consider when choosing a matching front and garage door:

1.    Color
The color of your front and garage door is one of the most important things to consider when choosing matching doors. If the rest of your home is open, airy, minimalist, white, and/or neutral, you don’t want to choose a bold-colored door. You want your home to be cohesive, and that cohesiveness starts with your garage door and your front door. When choosing matching doors, take time to do some research on colors. If you like light neutral colors, choose that for your doors. But if you like bold and artistic, use those characteristics to choose your matching doors.

2.    Material
When it comes to choosing the materials of your doors, it’s important to consider the current style of your home’s décor and architecture. If your home is modern on the inside, rustic barn-style doors aren’t going to be the greatest option for you. Ask yourself what material will best fit with the rest of your home? Your options include but aren’t limited to wood, steel, aluminum, layered, etc.

3.    Accents
Another thing to consider when choosing matching doors is the accents you want. If your home has a lot of farmhouse “x’s”, you’ll want to carry that into your front door and your garage door. You want to choose door options that fit well with the rest of your home and create a cohesive feeling.

4.    Installation
One of the things you’ll want to consider is the front door and garage door installation process. How much will it cost? How easy or hard will it be to install your desired doors?
