The carriage house style garage door offers timeless charm that enhances the curb appeal of both traditional and modern farmhouse homes. A fresh white finish keeps the look clean and classic, providing a perfect canvas for beautiful, rustic details.
Panel Patterns and Windows
The foundation of the carriage house look is the panel design, which mimics the appearance of old-world swing-out doors. You can choose from various patterns, such as recessed or beadboard panels, and add crossbucks (X-overlays) for a more rustic feel. Window lites, available in arched or square shapes, can be added to the top section to invite natural light and add architectural interest.
Decorative Hardware Details
Hardware is what truly brings this style to life. A white carriage garage door with decorative hardware creates a striking contrast. You can add long strap hinges, classic ring or pull handles, and even clavos (decorative nails) to create an authentic, handcrafted look. These elements are purely cosmetic but make a significant impact on the overall design.
Materials and Maintenance
This classic style is available in modern, low-maintenance materials. Embossed steel can provide a realistic woodgrain texture without the upkeep of real wood, while composite overlays offer a durable, rot-resistant alternative. For added comfort and energy efficiency, consider an insulated core to help keep your garage warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
