Because of its size, a garage door painted in an accent color commands a disproportionate amount of attention and, depending on its location, can detract from the entryway which should be the focal point of the front of your house. After all, the garage door is only the entrance to where your cars live, it’s not where you welcome visitors.
The solution is simple: paint your garage door** the same color as the walls of your house, and choose a special accent color with a dash of pizzazz for your front door, a color that’s used nowhere else. You’ll be amazed at the difference this simple change will make.
**Some garage doors can't be painted. Read the warranty.
Why did you show a picture with the garage painted white--this goes against your advice?
ReplyDeleteI showed the white door to illustrate the point that painting it in the trim color makes it too prominent. Think of it as what not to do!
