Garage door designs

Trends for 2024 include modern styles with sleek lines that emphasize minimalism. These will usually feature neutral colors in whites, grays, and blacks with limited hardware. Industrial style doors in steel and aluminum also fit well with this look, with their basic simplicity and neutral coloring.
