The Top Garage Door Trends

Your garage door takes up a significant proportion of street frontage, accounting for as much as 60 per cent of a home’s façade, so it should make a great first impression. When it comes to designing your ideal garage door, there’s a plethora of styles and colours to choose from.



Whether your style’s bold and contemporary or understated elegance, below we break down some of the most popular colour combinations, finishes, profiles, and tech trends to help you design a door that looks great and functions beautifully.

Say It With Colour

Every B&D garage door is made to measure, so you can rest assured your door is one of a kind.



With an extensive range of COLORBOND colours, stunning timber-look finishes, and innovative designer elements like semi-precious metals and perforated panels, the opportunities are endless.

Light & Airy

A beautifully designed garage door shows off its architectural details and acts as a standout feature of the home. White or lighter-coloured garage doors are particularly popular among coastal homes. A Hamptons-style home will pair perfectly with a whitewashed garage door with stylish windows for a sophisticated yet effortless look.

Opt for a minimalist COLORBOND shade like Surfmist, Dover White, or Shale Grey on a Panelift Icon door. Alternatively, a timber-look Roll-A-Door Neo can beautifully complement a cooler colour palette; consider Golden Oak or Japan Cherry in B&D’s exclusive Timber Coat range.

Dark & Moody

Darker hues are chic, striking, and a popular choice for contemporary or architecturally inspired homes. Recessive, classy, and easy to match with other shades, black performs well with different textures and pairs beautifully with natural elements. Opt for COLORBOND Monument or Night Sky, available on B&D Panelift and Roll-A-Doors.



For a truly seamless finish, explore Sheer Panel an aluminum composite overlay exclusive to B&D. Darker Sheer Panel colours include Monument, Manganese, Dark Grey Metallic, Anthrazit Grey, and Black.

Natural & Earthy

Greys, beiges and other earthy tones are a safe bet, though they're far from boring. Use a tonal variation of your home’s new or existing colour scheme, or pair with complementary colours featured in your guttering, edging and cladding to add texture and depth.

A grey or neutral shade can perfectly offset a bold colour, so if you've already chosen something out of the ordinary for your front door and don't want to risk overdoing it, opt for a neutral colour such as COLORBOND Shale Grey or Windspray.

Wooden Or Timber-Look

Natural timber garage doors have always been a beautiful design element, but harsh Australian conditions can shorten their lifespan. Now you can enjoy the warmth of timber with a low-maintenance steel finish using wood-look options. Plus, timber-look products like Biowood, a green-certified sustainable solution, are designed with minimal environmental impact.

Panelift sectional doors come in a range of timber-look colours, including COLORBOND Timbagrain in two shades and 10 incredible Knotwood tones, available on Seville, Turino, and Madrid profiles.



If you’re after a Roll-A-Door, consider B&D’s exclusive Timber Coat range. While other roller doors on the market are limited to COLORBOND steel, Timber Coat is a stylish, budget-friendly vinyl coating designed to replicate real timber’s look and texture.

Classic Home Exteriors

From Georgian and period homes to Federation-style properties, the allure of classic, traditional homes is hard to beat. Whether your home is in the mountains, by the coast or on a cul-de-sac, a garage door in a complementary style will add character and charm.

Because traditional homes draw from various architectural influences, there are plenty of colour and design options to suit. Consider a Federation profile on a Panelift Icon door in an on-trend COLORBOND hue to match other exterior features. Deep, dark Knotwood shades like Wenge, Black Walnut, or Southern Cedar will also enhance the look of classic brick exteriors.

Mid-Centry Modern Designs

Design trends are leaning toward a sleek, no-nonsense aesthetic. For the modern home, garage doors with clean lines and understated profiles are making their mark.

Sectional garage doors such as Panelift Icon and Panelift offer a minimalist look. Linear profiles like Seville, Turino, or Madrid effortlessly complement weatherboard, brick, or flat cladding. Flat panels and Icon’s Sheer Panel profile can give older homes a modern upgrade or accentuate an already contemporary style.

Smart Technology

While not a design element, smartphone capability is a must-have for enhanced security, convenience, and total control. With B&D’s Smart Phone Control Kit, you can operate your garage door from anywhere, monitor its status, and receive real-time alerts. Grant access to guests or family members through the B&D App, and if you leave the door open by accident, simply close it at the tap of a button from wherever you are.

Regardless of your home’s style, quality and longevity are always essential. B&D garage doors stand the test of time, which is why they come with our 10-year Total Confidence Warranty so your door looks and performs as it did on day one.
