Using the fixed features as your color inspiration, a great color can make elements of a home standout or blend in. Garage doors usually look better if they blend in rather than stand out.

Here are a few general DO's and DON'Ts for painting garage doors:

  • DO paint the garage doors in the same color as the house itself and not the trim color or white (unless white is your house color). Painting the garage doors the same colors as the body of the house will make your home appear larger.
  • DO paint the trim around the doors either to match the door or to match the trim on the rest of your home.
  • DON'T paint the garage doors in the same accent color they chose for their front door or shutters. This draws too much attention to the doors and chops up the facade of the home.
  • DON'T highlight the details of a standard garage door by painting the door in more than one color. There are historic or special doors where this may be appropriate but for the majority of garage doors this would not be the way to go.
