Please help! What color garage doors should we choose?
Comments (8)To me, unless you want to do a total color change on the entire house, then the garage doors should just stay as they are. For you to "fix" that house, you're going to have to commit to a total package color change and by that I mean the red brick and the whole nine yards. So if you're not willing to consider that, then just leave the garage doors white and the front door black. There's no other color to paint the garage doors with the rest of the house as it is. IMO....See MoreWhat colour garage door for a dark grey stucco house?
Comments (32)I got it... they are however a different style of home is all... that is to some degree. More modern in appearance. I'd personally go with something similar in colors as above meaning windows, door, fascia. I do think the garage and front door can be the same.. I don't think it, but know it. I would not put a red, nor yellow or other door on this home. The neighborhood is not conducive to that and I think too much white such as the garages and front door would not look right either. The colors I posted on the house above that is not the same style of your own is similar to what I'd do with a shade of white or a white that leans a pinch gray in gloomy or dim light such as Aesthetic White by Sherwin Williams. In bright light it will appear white though. It's an inspiration photo of colors only. A bit of freshness using a shade of white....See MoreWhat color Garage doors?
Comments (39)Kristint1448. Don't be misled. We are only a few hundred yards from the sea. Our garage doors are reinforced since each is 18' wide; these use heavy duty commercial grade track and commercial duty steel rollers and hardware, tempered glass to withstand severe wind speeds and pressures. The glass doors are extremely strong and very heavy and are rated for over 120mph wind and pressures. Each door is moved with heavy duty wall mounted wifi openers; the whole mechanism is quiet and smooth. As usual I do an incredible amount of research, selecting anything to meet and usually exceed my design specifications. Missi Smith: Message me for details. I'm not supposed to endorse any particular brand if I can help it....See Morewhat color garage door?
Comments (3)What about a nice wood-look door? CHI has some great doors that look like real wood. I spent a lot of time searching for the most realistic ones! We picked Walnut but cedar or dark oak might match your front door better. I used planks for a more modern look....See More

last yearwe still don't know what the house looks likes.
what is the finished house? need a style.
where are the doors? up front, side?
just post a picture of what you're getting.
usually garage doors are the trim color or the siding color.
could also be a contrasting color
or, you could use a wood garage door (or wood look)
for example, this house is gray w/a driftwood wood look garage. if you were doing your browns, you'd get a similar one but in the brown color.
Again, it all depends on the style of home. Sue

While front facing garage doors aren't the most beautiful option, there are ways to make the front of the house look more appealing.No one is going to be foolded into believing you don't have a garage if you paint it to match the siding!
get a nice garage door. if you want to paint it to match the siding, fine.
Here's a quick photoshop utilizing some other options. upgraded doors (both of them) lighting, address plaque. of course landscaping will make a huge improvement.
diff options. (i is brown the only color they could come up with? with a dark maroon door?)
consider doing some sort of wood arbor over the garage to give it some kind of interest.use carriage hardware on the door to give it some kind of look (if you keep the one given)

last yearlast modified: last yearSue, they're all diff. that last gray one is paint. Web Gray by SW. you could also add window panels to an existing door. (some of them) but that particular door is a diff style. It's a nice looking door
just do some google image search of garage doors. search whatever color you want, or any other filters.
look at local garage door companies in your area and I'm sure they'll have tons of options.
CloPlay garage doors are nice,
check out some of these makeovers:
perfect example of how upgrading the garage door makes all the difference to an exterior:
