Accessorizing Your Garage Door to Add Curb Appeal

Once you’ve chosen a garage door style and paint colors, you can start accessorizing your garage door to make your house even more visually appealing. Some carriage house garage doors come with built-in accessories like handles, windows, and beautiful patterns to make them stand out. But you can also add custom accessories around your garage door to boost its curb appeal.

Greenery like potted plants, shrubs, and climbing plants will add some flair to your home’s exterior. Additionally, stonework and lighting are other great accessorizing options.

In this blog post, we take a look at how handles, side arrows, windows, and patterns can boost your home’s curb appeal and make a great first impression.

Handles

Adding door handles to your garage can improve your home’s overall visual appeal and market value if done right. 

Decorative door handles are a great accessory to add to your carriage-style garage door. However, these accessories also work well with other garage door styles. When placing handles, ensure that they’re placed securely. 

Some decorative door handles can be highly functional if placed and installed correctly. However, other handles can’t lift the garage door – they serve aesthetic purposes only. 

Side Arrows

Decorative hardware like side arrows can add rustic elegance to your home’s exterior. These decorative hinges should be placed on your garage door’s sides (where the regular hinges usually are). The position and size of your hinges can determine how effective your investment is. As a result, you need to place them in a spot that makes it look realistic – as if the doors could swing open. 

Side arrows work well with carriage house garage doors and barn-style doors as these accessories can further accentuate the traditional and timeless appearance of those types of garage doors.

Windows

Adding windows to your garage door can bring natural daylight and add a sleek charm to your home that’ll also improve your home’s curb appeal. 

If your garage door takes up a considerable amount of your home’s front facade, installing windows can help make the front of your house look more attractive and exciting. The windows you choose should complement your home’s windows and front door. This way, your garage will match your home’s overall style. Additionally, you can purchase impact-resistant windows so there’s no need to worry about safety concerns. 

Installing windows to an existing garage door can be incredibly complex, so every homeowner should hire a professional to get the job done. 

Patterns

A well-designed garage door will definitely catch the eye of potential buyers. You can enhance your garage’s appearance by adding beautiful patterns:

• Vertical lines: Vertical patterns can make your garage door look more attractive. You can add vertical beams, ridges, or designs to ensure your garage door stands out.
• Horizontal relief designs: Opting for box and hexagon patterns across your garage door can give the door a classy, timeless look.
