When it comes to the curb appeal of your home, one area that is often overlooked is the garage door. The decision to make garage door improvements can affect the appeal of your home, especially if you are looking to sell.
If your garage door is facing the same direction as your front door, it can really impact the balance of your home’s appearance. Consider matching both or ensure they complement each other. A garage door can completely change the look depending on the style and what additional features you choose. When looking to replace your garage door, consider features like windows, color, and design style.
Adding Windows
Adding windows to your garage door is all about the style and features of your home and personal preference. With that in mind, here are the pros of adding windows to your garage door:
- Let in natural light. Letting in natural light will brighten up your garage and make it feel less dark and cold especially if you use your garage for more than just storage or parking your car(s). Many homeowners today convert part or all of their garage to a more useful space such as a recreation/workout space, craft & hobby area, or bonus room.
- Tie your exterior together. Adding windows to your garage door is a great way complement your home’s exterior and allows your garage door to be more of a design feature.
- Customize. Don’t stop at adding just windows. Consider window inserts and the type of glass. If you are using your garage as a bonus room, consider frosted or tinted glass.
