Garage Door Styles to Inspire

One of the best things about roller doors is the sheer variety available when it comes to choosing a standout style. Whatever aesthetic you’re aiming for, a new roller garage door can match it. If you’re thinking of modernising, upgrading or redesigning your garage space, read through some of our style examples for some inspiration.

A traditional take

Even smaller single garage doors will attract the eye with their solid colour cassette on display to passersby, so if you lean towards the traditional side of things then colour and finish will have a strong influence.

A rosewood finish definitely sets a traditional timber tone, with the rich dark hues combining perfectly with any exterior flanked by trees, bushes or greenery. A rosewood garage door will also work well with larger, darker brickwork – think shaded sandstone or even mild grey bricks.

If you like the wood-like finish but want something a bit brighter, golden oak might be ideal. Golden oak doors go well with sandstone or shaded brickwork, but also fit seamlessly with lighter coloured bricks as well. Both golden oak and rosewood have a rich allure to them, and combine perfectly with the smooth and sophisticated movement of a roller door.

Sleek and contemporary

For a more modern design approach, you’ve got a lot of solid colours to choose from, so it really depends on your own tastes and what the exterior of your property already looks like. White is a popular choice which goes well with any modern property design – especially if your roofline, trims or any part of your home has a white finish on display.

Of course, black, blue, anthracite and even red finishes all have their place, too; it’s all about harmonising your garage door with the existing décor of your home. Even the smallest details can enhance or impair your aesthetic. From the colour and material of your driveway to the presence of plantlife, the colour of your window trimmings and all those little features you might not think about, all of these can either work with or work against your chosen garage door colour.

Colour matching

Consistency and structure can really bring the whole exterior of your property together. Your garage door can play an intrinsic role in achieving this. If your garage is attached to your home, colour matching with your home front door can be an effective choice. You can either choose a colour which matched your existing front door, or pick a new colour and paint your front door to match.

Having these two working together will add immediate structure to your home, and will make some of the other features – such as windows, roofline and brickwork – blend more into the background. Even separated garages can be colour matched to great success, and sometimes this approach allows you to go for colours that might otherwise feel a bit ‘out there’. The Rollerdor colour picker is a useful tool to help you visualise these options.

Subtle neutral

As with interior design, solid neutral colours are sometimes the best choice you can make. You don’t always need a garage door to draw attention – sometimes a subtle touch is the way to go.

Cream and beige might sound bland, but in the right setting they can be perfect; they’re very easy on the eye, and emit a prosperous, smooth feeling which is complemented by the compact, clean and easy functionality of the door itself. These colours will work best for larger garages, with wider driveways and more room to breath. If subtle style i your thing, then you can’t go wrong with the neutral approach.
