How much are you willing to spend? New garage doors with some glass would reduce the visual mass,

This is the challenge - Just purchasing and will have limited budget, but agree a new garage door is a must - Glass top windows.... So tops on my "must do" list just as soon as I move in. My challenge is selecting the correct style, wood or good alternative + exterior house colors that will blend........

Google "Garage door window decals"--lots of options for adding interest. Not sure how they would work with the angled corners on yours. I like your house color and think the garage door could be the same color. Then a bright/light color for the front door. Maybe lime green or turquoise.

Plan would be to purchase a new garage door. Thoughts on appropriate color / style? Thinking a mossy grey for new exterior house paint

I agree with trying the faux garage door windows before spending $ to replace a perfectly good garage door. Another advantage (if you don't need the light in the garage) is that no one with nefarious intent can look in to see if your car is there, or what stuff you have stored.

Here is one where they did a faux wood finish with faux windows on an existing door. I'd think it would be worth a try:

I think a mossy grey could look flat and dull on your house.

Is the current paint in good shape? Does the house need painting or are you looking to add some curb appeal? If the later, I would look first at the landscaping, then lighting (possibly a post lantern and/or new garage fixtures), then look at the garage door (like the windows but not the natural wood door -- it's too heavy and doesn't relate to anything else on your house -- the second look Oly posted is more in line with what I would look at).

You might contact the garage door maker if you know who it was. Sometimes the garage doors are panels that are stacked and you may be able to have them swap just the panel where the windows would go and keep the rest of the door...I would think it would be less than a whole new door.

I totally agree with Lisa! You do NOT want your garage doors to be the focal point of the front of you house! You want your FRONT door to be this. Putting fancy doors is just going to be expensive and not achieve what you want, which is to basically make them disappear.

I would leave the garage door as is, remove the foundation plants and get some pro landscaping. Replace the storm door with a full glass door. Paint the front door and storm door trim a dark red. Replace the garage lights with some large black lights. Get a nice black lamppost/light.

I agree about blending the garage door in with paint and work on landscaping.

But when your garage door is more than 60% of your front facade it deserves a budget that reflects that ratio. A cheap garage door that blends in, is still a cheap garage door that covers 60% of the front facade.

My house is very similar to the OP's, with the garage in front. In fact, the majority of houses in my area have that setup, the result of fitting everything on a small lot. It's not the best of situations, but we're all in the same boat and I don't think anybody notices it that much. It's what's normal.

Just this morning I ordered a new garage door, short panels, just like the OP. I'm getting divided windows across the top and just changed my order from clear to obscure glass. They aren't as high as they look from outside and I want a bit of privacy when I'm working in my garage at night, yet some light during the day.

It's a thin line between trying not to draw attention to a prominent garage door, yet still having it look nice. I mean, it's right there in front, no disguising it. Mine will be the same color as my siding.
