Exterior shutters and garage doors are among the first features people notice
about a house, and they’re crucial to a home’s curb appeal.

Each year brings new ideas in home designs and sees evolutions in preferences
related to stylistic elements, colors and materials. Following are four key
design trends in new single-family homes and how they apply to exterior shutters
and garage doors.


NATURAL MATERIALS



The popularity of natural materials in both home exteriors and interiors
continues to rise.

As a recent Builder article about home design trends notes, a growing number of
homeowners prefers the look of natural materials over synthetic materials. While
earthy materials like brick, stone and stucco remain fashionable for home
exteriors, wood is often favored for exterior shutters and garage-door overlays.

Wood complements both classic and contemporary architectural styles, and it
possesses a unique elegance of its own. Premium woods such as mahogany offer
inherent moisture resistance and durability, and wood can be stained to enrich
its organic appearance or painted to provide a pop of color with natural
texture.

When it comes to shutters, a strong and maintenance-free alternative to wood is
Endurian®. Endurian is Timberlane’s exclusive PVC, and it replicates the look
and texture of wood so authentically that Endurian shutters have been used on
historic buildings.


BOLD COLORS



The utilization of natural materials has been trending progressively upward for
years as trade professionals and homeowners recognize the benefits of
traditional building methods and sustainable materials. But the shift from
neutral tones to bright colors in home design occurred comparatively quickly.

Some design experts attribute this preferential change to the pandemic, which
led to more people spending more time at home and thirsting for more vibrant
settings. As the pandemic waned, architects, builders, interior designers and
homeowners retained their adventurous color sensibilities.

Shutters, garage door and front door colors don’t have to match each other, but
they should enhance one another and the home’s facade. Consideration of the
home’s primary exterior material is a good starting point when selecting shutter
and door colors.

For example, add dramatic visual flair to a brown-toned brick or stone home with
shutters of deep purple or velvety red; the garage door and front door may
provide contrast and character in dark slate or midnight blue, or via a
chocolatey stain finish. For a neutral exterior, such as off-white or pale
yellow, turn to foresty greens, indigo-leaning blues and heavy grays.


LAYERED COLORS AND TEXTURES



 

Many residential architects and builders are applying interior design elements
to exteriors, as detailed by a recent Southern Living article about home
exterior trends that boost curb appeal.

One of these approaches entails layering different colors and materials to
create depth and visual interest. Home facades, for instance, may blend wood and
stone to accentuate architectural details such as arches or dormers, or to
provide distinction between multiple levels.

This idea extends to the colors, materials and styles for shutters and garage
doors. Wood shutters and doors, for example, can add texture and character to a
brick or sided home.

Similarly, shutters and doors with dark stain finishes or vivid paint colors can
provide personality and definition to light-hued or neutral-toned exteriors. On
the flip side, homes with dark-colored exteriors may benefit from lighter accent
colors that add dimension and strengthen aesthetic identity.


TRANSITIONAL STYLES



Transitional architecture is gaining momentum among architects and builders, and
homeowners have likewise found much to love in the blend of traditional and
modern facets.

The concepts of transitional design extend to exterior shutters and garage
doors. Homes that incorporate classic and contemporary aspects can find balance
in the right choice of shutters and garage doors. For example, board-and-batten
shutters can help anchor the appearance of a home that merges modernist and
farmhouse attributes with a rustic flourish; panel shutters may be ideal if the
desired emphasis is on clean, contemporary lines.

A carriage-style garage door can impart classic charm to homes with natural
exterior materials and components of time-honored home designs. A timeless
paneled style may be better suited to homes that deploy boxier, contemporary
forms intended to provide open interior spaces.

Custom shutters and garage doors come in several styles. And each style
furnishes several personalization options to facilitate a perfect — and
perfectly unique — fit for every home.
