Use Custom Garage Doors And Gates To Invite Loved Ones In

Personalizing your home is a great way to add interest and to set your home apart from the other homes in the neighborhood. You may have already spent a lot of time on your landscaping, adding decorative detailing to the windows or yard, and possibly with major changes to doors and windows. Your efforts won’t be complete however until you have focused on your garage doors and gates.

Why focus on the garage doors and gates?

Too often these entrances to our homes are overlooked. However, it takes just a moment to realize that these entryways are often the first sights we see when returning home, the first impression guests have as they approach the yard and, often, the final view any of us have when leaving. Thus, the gateways to our homes should be a very important point of focus during planning and design. When you decide that your decorating plans should include custom garage doors and gates in Newport Beach California you are prepared to truly welcome your family and guests home.

Just Four Simple Steps

Fortunately, choosing the custom garage doors and gates in Newport Beach California does not have to be a difficult task. By following four simple steps, you may be able to entirely change the view of your home.

• 1. Choose a door design which complements your home.

There are some popular designs available or you may wish to draw up your own design. You may prefer to choose a design that reflects the personality of California or the drama of a Spanish Colonial style. If you are concerned with making environmentally healthy choices, then you should make that decision at this point as well. You will want to choose the gates and doors that architecturally reflect the same style that you have throughout the rest of your home.

• 2. Choose windows with both function and beauty.

The same windows which allow light into the interior of your garage can become a decorative element that completes a style you are conveying or which creates an entirely new look. As you consider the windows for the garage, try to imagine how the shape and patterns of the windows can be reproduced on the design of your gates.

• 3. Choose the hardware for your garage doors and gates.

Hardware is available in many distinctive styles, colors and forms. This hardware may be operational or it may be simply decorative. Just as you recognize how details complete the look within your home, you’ll quickly notice that the addition of hardware on the exterior of your home is effective as well.

• 4. Add some color to your home.

Garage doors, gates and other entryways may be perfect places to add a contrasting color, a color of interest or an entire visualization that you have in your mind. Some of the more interesting garages and gates we’ve seen have been painted in brilliant color blocks, a mural of graffiti art, and a landscape beckoning you to enter.
