DIY Garage Door Makeovers @Remodelaholic

On the list of the many necessary and not always pretty things in life, garage doors rank pretty high. I’d put them up there with laundry rooms, although laundry rooms have lots more options to update them! When it comes to curb appeal, there are plenty of ideas to start with, but a large feature like your garage door can really cramp your style if you’re trying to really change up your home’s exterior. But a boring garage door can still be remedied, and fairly inexpensively with these DIY garage door update ideas.

8 Ways to Give Your Garage Door a Makeover

Paint + Glaze

Larissa gave her garage door this faux wood carriage look using just paint! Tutorial here.

Gel Stain

You can use it on stairs and shutters… and also garage doors! Check it out at Domestically Speaking.

Wood Overlay

Even though it’s been a few years, I still love this tutorial for adding wood to your garage door to make it look like a carriage door.

Faux Painted Hardware

A fancy look… for just a few bucks and some time to paint! Details here from Forever Decorating.

DIY Carriage Hardware

The Sunset Lane added new house numbers, and then used a free-or-cheap material to fake the look of carriage door straps — paint stir sticks!

Paint + Wood

You coudl do this in a solid color or really any color you can dream up — General Splendour used a combination of lightweight wood planks and paint to update her garage door. PS: those windows are fake, too.
