It’s easy to look at a lot of photos of beautifully designed and curated homes with fancy garage doors on them and think that the doors are absolutely gorgeous. But knowing what these doors look like on actual homes, and really what they could look like on your home is another thing entirely.
I remember driving around neighborhoods with my parents looking at other houses for inspiration on what colors to paint our house. Back then, there wasn’t google or pinterest to go over different options, so driving around was the way to do it. Honestly even now I think that looking at real homes is one of the best ways to decide whether or not you like a home design element.
Especially when it comes to something big like a new garage door you want to make sure that you are going to like it on your home. I mean, obviously it is physically large and a huge part of your homes exterior appearance but it is also a big purchase.
Even a Classic Collection door with no added bells or whistles will run you around $1000. Spending that much on a garage door is going to make anyone want to make sure that they will like their new door.
With a door like a classic collection It is typically pretty easy to find doors on homes near you to decide whether you’d like the door on your house. But with doors that are a little more unique it might be harder to find them on houses near you! That’s why I decided to do a little series here and there called Doors in the Wild, where I show you what these doors look like on real houses in regular neighborhoods.
The first doors that we are showing you are the Modern Steel Collection Doors! These doors have a beautiful flush panel, with no stamping. They are still textured, and are available in a wide variety of colors, but the overall look of these doors has a more sleek, modern style than what you would see in a classic collection door.
The cool thing about the modern steel doors is that they are the same as the classic collection in so far as the construction of the door. This means that they are priced as classic collection doors! It’s a great way to go the modern look while not compromising on price, or insulation value.
These doors (and the one that we is shown) also offer a unique way to add windows onto the panels. You can do virtually any type of window arrangement you can think of in these doors! It’s a fun, and easy way to add unique character to your door to make it stand out from the crowd.
