Top Garage Door Trends for 2025

2025 is here and so are some bold new design trends. If you’re looking to boost your curb appeal, look no further than your garage. Maximizing the style of your garage can give your house a whole new look. We’ve compiled our favorite trends for the year so you can find all the best ideas for your home in one place. 

Bold Materials: 

The first trend we love is leaning into statement materials. No matter if you have a contemporary house or a traditional home, a wood garage door can be as timeless as it is modern. The tones and textures of a wood garage door are refined, elegant and a perfect match for all architectural styles. This garage door offers so much texture, charm and architectural detail. Even if you live somewhere that makes having an all wood garage door a challenge, you can always achieve the same look with Wood Grain Impressions® Finish Collection. The look of real wood printed on steel garage doors. 

Speaking of steel, it is also a beautiful example of how this trend could work for your home. Sleek, modern and extremely durable, steel is a bold choice to make your garage really pop. A steel door makes a much more modern statement than wood but no less stylish. The refined color and the industrial nature of the material gives so much character to a home. This steel door offers a bold, modern and sleek design. 

Color:

Bland is out. Playing it safe is out. Defaulting to white is out. Color is in. Making bold design choices that accentuate your home is the new standard. That could look like perfectly matching the color of your home or picking something complementary to your color scheme. Regardless of the color direction you choose, you can find the exact right shade with the Wayne Dalton® TruChoice™ Color System. With over 6,000 colors to choose from, you can find the exact right color for your garage door.  

A few colors we are really loving right now are moody greens, bright blues and pops of pink! 

Let There Be Light!:

The trend we can’t get enough of is natural light. Even a space that can feel dark and forgotten, like a garage, can instantly feel rejuvenated by the addition of windows or an all-glass garage door. Light can absolutely transform a space like almost nothing else can.  

Wayne Dalton has an impressive lineup of glass garage doors to choose from. These modern wonders work with a variety of architectural styles as it elevates the look of almost any home. Wayne Dalton offers several finishes and glass options so you can truly customize this garage door to your exact needs.  

Within the glass garage door family, the Modern Glass Garage Door offers a bold frame with panels of glass. This gives an air of industrial style that so easily looks wonderful on both modern and traditional homes. You also have the Frameless Glass Garage Doors that offer a stunning wall of shimmering glass. 

There is also a new Wind Load-Rated Modern Glass Garage Door. Stunning glass design with wind load protection for added safety against strong winds and storm. Add major curb appeal to your home while keeping your home safe—win win.   

No matter what option you choose or what finish you select, these glass garage doors are a hot trend that can’t be ignored. 

Accessories: 

So, you’ve picked your prefect garage door. Now it’s time to accessorize. More is more when it comes to making your garage a beautiful extension of your home and not an afterthought. We love the addition of exterior lights on a garage. Not only does it boost safety at night, but it also adds a tailored look to your garage. Architectural details like adding corbels to your garage can reinforce the style of your house and add significant character to your garage. And finally, when in doubt, go green. Building a trellis or small pergola over your garage doors and planting climbing plants is a sure-fire way to make your garage look like the best garage on the block. 

Good Maintenance: 

A top trend for 2025 and every year is proper yearly maintenance. If you take care of your garage doors, they can be a lasting investment for your home. Take time this year to make sure your garage door is in good working order, so you can get the most out of its lifespan. You should do a visual inspection and be sure to listen for any odd sounds. You should clean your garage door outside and in (on the tracks). Be sure to tighten up any loose screws. Apply your garage door specific lubricant to the door to keep it running smoothly. If you want full peace of mind, call a pro. Let a Wayne Dalton dealer take care of your garage door with a service call from a garage door professional.
