Top B&D Garage Door Trends

Your garage door can cover up to 60 per cent of your home’s façade, making it one of the most important features for street appeal. Choosing the right style, colour, and finish allows you to create a strong first impression while ensuring the door is practical and reliable. Below are some of the most popular B&D garage door trends, from colour choices to smart technology, to inspire your next upgrade.

At Emu Garage Doors, we guide you through the latest B&D garage door trends, helping you choose the perfect option that blends style, durability, and modern convenience for your home.

Say It With Colour

Every B&D garage door is custom-made, so your design is truly unique. The brand’s extensive palette of COLORBOND shades, timber-look finishes, and creative elements such as semi-precious metals or perforated panels gives homeowners endless design possibilities.

Light and Airy

Garage doors in lighter shades bring out architectural details and create a striking focal point. Coastal homes often favour white or soft neutral tones that work beautifully with Hamptons-style architecture. COLORBOND shades such as Surfmist, Dover White, or Shale Grey on a Panelift Icon door provide a timeless look, while timber-look options like Golden Oak or Japan Cherry from the Timber Coat range pair well with cooler colour schemes.

Dark and Moody

Darker colours are sophisticated, dramatic, and perfect for modern or architecturally designed homes. Black and deep grey shades complement natural textures and deliver a bold presence. Popular choices include COLORBOND Monument and Night Sky, available across Panelift and roller door styles. For a seamless finish, B&D’s Sheer Panel range in colours such as Monument, Anthrazit Grey, or Black adds a sleek, contemporary edge.

Natural and Earthy

Earth-inspired tones such as greys, beiges, and soft browns add warmth and balance to a home’s exterior. These colours are versatile and can either complement or contrast with bolder front door choices. COLORBOND neutrals like Shale Grey and Windspray are reliable options that enhance depth and texture without overpowering the overall design.

Wooden or Timber-Look

Timber garage doors offer natural beauty but require ongoing maintenance in harsh climates. B&D’s timber-look finishes provide the charm of real wood with the durability of steel. Biowood, a sustainable timber-look product, minimises environmental impact while offering style. The Panelift sectional door range includes COLORBOND Timbagrain and multiple Knotwood tones, while the roller garage door  range features Timber Coat, a cost-effective vinyl coating designed to replicate authentic timber textures.

Classic Home Exteriors

Traditional home designs benefit from garage doors that echo timeless character. Federation-style profiles on Panelift Icon doors can be matched with trending COLORBOND hues or darker Knotwood tones like Wenge, Black Walnut, or Southern Cedar, which pair beautifully with brick exteriors and heritage-style properties.

Mid-Century Modern Designs

Minimalist profiles and clean lines are defining features of mid-century inspired homes. Sectional doors such as Panelift Icon or Panelift with Seville, Turino, or Madrid profiles suit weatherboard, brick, and flat cladding. Flat panels or the Icon Sheer Panel design can refresh older homes while enhancing the modern appeal of newer builds.

Smart Technology

Garage doors are no longer just about appearance. With B&D’s Smart Phone Control Kit, homeowners gain advanced security and convenience. The system allows you to open or close your garage door remotely, monitor its status in real time, and provide controlled access to family or visitors. If you forget to close the door, the app lets you secure it instantly from anywhere.
