No matter where in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire or Sheffield our customers are improving their homes with new garage doors, when investing in a new door a key consideration has to be the way it looks. There’s no denying that for most people, the way their door looks is as crucial as how well it works. After all, in addition to being a way of securing your vehicles or safeguarding your garden furniture and other belongings, a sturdy new garage doors can contribute to the general architectural aesthetic of your property.
You’ll be forgiven then for wanting your new garage door to blend appropriately with the rest of your home. So let’s talk colours!
You’d be surprised how many garage door buyers ask for our advice on colour options more than on security features. Indeed, for the majority of Chatsworth Garage Doors customers, selecting the appropriate paint finish is an important part of choosing between garage doors.
The architectural style of a property will determine a homeowner’s shortlist of colour options, but it’s well worth considering the same colour for your door frame as for your garage door. Such a match creates an elegant, modern look, and can actually have the effect of making your house appear bigger! If you really don’t want your door and its frame to match exactly, it’s still worth contemplating the use of two shades of one colour.
Likewise, using the same colour, or two shades of the same colour, on your garage door and the rest of your home is another smart option for guaranteeing your garage door matches the overall look of your property. Chatsworth Garage Doors advisers will be pleased to provide you with a colour chart to assist you in shortlisting and selecting your colour(s).
Paint isn’t always the answer though. Some properties need more natural colours and textures. That’s why we offer many of our garage doors with a wood grain finish as an alternative to the colour finishes.
Do give the architectural style of your garage some careful thought. For example, if you have a period property, overly vibrant colours might not work. Moreover, no matter the age, size or design of your home, using more than two different colours generally isn’t advisable.
Our friendly, experienced advisers are here to help you choose colours and textures across our range of high-quality garage doors right across the region.
