When choosing a garage door, it’s often one of the first things you think about, what colour should I go for? This is a big decision as we believe it can really change the appearance of a house, so it’s important you get it right. Here at Roll Right, we have a selection of 21 different colours ensuring they are the perfect fit for you. So, what factors should we consider when picking a door?
Tried and tested colours
This can include our range of white, cream, or beige neutral tones for your door. Often a staple for most homeowners, this is a safe option that can fit with most style buildings. This is the perfect choice if you are prone to changing your mind as it never goes out of fashion!
Colour scheme
Take into consideration the current colour scheme apparent on your home’s exterior. This can include the colour of your front door or the walls of the house. You want to compliment your existing features in some way. Achieving this by matching the doors, picking a shade with similar hues, or completely contrasting to make a statement. Depending on what outcome you want will depend on which of these you choose but they can all be good starting points if you’re unsure.
Architectural structure
It’s also important to take into consideration the style of your home. The various changes in houses through the years mean there’s a big difference between them and therefore which colours work with each needs to be considered. For instance, older more traditional properties often work better with a classic simple colour such as black or browns. On the other hand, modern-day houses may be more inclined to go with the times and better suited to a trending colour like dark blue or slate grey.
Street aware
Although this is a personal decision and should be down to your own preferences which garage door you have, it might be worth considering how it’ll look with the rest of your street. This could just be ensuring it doesn’t clash with the overall look of your neighbours, not necessarily copying their doors. Simply picking a colour that is cohesive allows you to avoid standing out for the wrong reasons.
Resale value
You might not even be thinking of selling your house shortly, but it is always good to consider when it eventually does go on the market. Although bold, bright colours may seem good at the time, buyers could be put off if they don’t share the same likeness. This is why it might be best to pick widely appealing options, for example, a white or black to protect the property’s value.
