Garage Door Trends for 2023

Trends come and go with the seasons, and home improvement is no exception. When we think of updating our homes to whatever is in style at the moment, we might limit ourselves to the interior design and decor. But trends apply to the outside of your home too – including your garage! Especially when you think that a Garage Door is a sizeable section of your home’s outward appearance, and can significantly impact your ‘curb appeal’.

If you’re thinking about replacing or updating your garage door and need some inspiration, have a look at what types, styles and colours are popular in 2023…

What types of Garage Doors are in style in 2023?

SMART Garage Doors

Home technology has made a massive improvement over the last few years. A multitude of apps on your phone means that controlling everything from appliances to lightbulbs to home security systems is available at the end of your fingertips at all times. Of course, garage door technology is no exception. A step forward from remote-controlled automatic garage doors, a Smart Garage Door can be operated from your smartphone. The benefit is that it can work remotely, for instance, from your place of work. 

Side Hinged Garage Doors

Although some people are always chasing the newest technological advancements, many prefer the minimalist or traditional charm of a side hinged garage door. The style is in the simplicity, and demand for these is still rising.

‘Ribbed’ Sectional Garage Doors

These are a classic that never go out of style, but they have seen an added twist in 2023 which is proving popular. Thinner panel sections give a ribbed effect which is modern, stylish and aesthetic, especially if featured in a bold dark colour. As sectional doors work on a track system, these are particularly space saving and also the best type of garage door for insulation – so a sectional garage door not only style but substance. 

What is the best colour for a garage door in 2023? 

Deep Bold Colours

2023 is moving away from the classic, but utilitarian white garage door, and is instead, embracing rich colours. Choose from a rich colour such as a striking red or forest green, to give your garage door a big and unique personality that stands out. 

Black, in particular is a super popular colour this year, especially in a matte finish. It adds a modern and high-end quality to your home which may even help boost its value. The only thing to bear in mind is that black can absorb heat, which may effect the temperature of your garage.

Wood / Natural Effect

Farmhouse aesthetic interiors are all the rage, so continue the vibe in your garage doors. Wood and natural effect doors have seen a big design improvement recently so they look more realistic than ever. These do provide a particular amount of charm which is hard to recreate with other styles. 

Matching Front door

Many people love to strive for cohesion in the home exteriors, so matching your garage door colour to your front colour colour, is a great way to achieve this. Reputable Garage door suppliers/installers have some form of colour matching technology to help achieve the closest colour match possible.

And those are the top trends for Garage Doors this year for you to keep in mind if you’re thinking of updating your garage door in 2023.
