TOP 5 MISTAKES IN GARAGE DESIGN: #4 – Mix-and-Matching Conflicting Styles
Projects that mix-and-match products and brands that have conflicting styles do not necessarily work well together if they at-odds with the colors, style and design of the garage and/or home.
The best example of conflicting styles are garage doors. Just because the opening to a garage door entrance is a standard size does not mean it deserves a standard, cookie-cutter door that is indistinguishable from all of the other doors in the neighborhood. Doors should embody the personality of their owner and the style of the home. A garage door that might be appropriate on a Cape Cod-style home, may not necessarily be appropriate on a Craftsman home and vice-versa. Yet too often it is common to view the same garage door used in the same development.
Distinguishing your home with a look of individuality with a door that maintains architectural harmony and continuity with the style of your home with add significant to its curb appeal.
