The garage door often covers 30% or more of a home's street-facing exterior — few upgrades change curb appeal faster. Here's what's trending this year.
Modern Flush Panels
Clean, seamless panels with no embossing pair beautifully with contemporary and mid-century homes. Matte black and charcoal finishes are especially popular in newer subdivisions.
Carriage House Character
Carriage-style doors with decorative hardware remain the top pick for traditional homes in areas like Kirkwood and Webster Groves. Modern versions swing up like a normal sectional door while keeping the classic barn-door look.
Glass and Aluminum
Full-view glass doors with aluminum frames turn a garage into a design statement — and they're increasingly used for patio enclosures and home gyms, not just cars.
Wood-Look Without the Wood
Faux wood-grain steel and composite doors give the warmth of cedar or mahogany with none of the maintenance. These have been our most-requested style for two years running.
Bold Color
Black, deep green, and even navy doors are replacing standard white and almond as homeowners treat the door as a design feature.
