Plank doors with windows

Our Favorite Garage Trends of 2021 - Plank Doors - American Garage Door

This modern look combines wood planks with windows on the side for a beautiful design that instantly catches the eye. Pictured in this photo is a lighter tonewood, but dark wood would bring another layer of elegance. Another idea is to use vinyl plank for a less expensive option. 

Modern barn/carriage

These carriage garage doors offer a farmhouse look in a fresh and modern way. This is a great option for a home that already has a traditional style but could use a little something extra to draw the eye.

Dark tones

White is out and dark is in! 

White or light garage doors are quite common, especially in new home developments. However, darker tones make your garage door a focal point of your home and can accentuate stone, adobe, and even siding. The windows at the top of the door allow in light without sacrificing privacy. 

Glass paneling
