Let’s face it, we don’t pay much mind to our garages. They’re the forgotten, uncharted territories where we park our cars, store old holiday decorations and house spiders we don’t want to disturb!
However, some blue waves are being made in the world of garages.
This vibrant hue has become the latest statement in garage architecture, as homeowners everywhere are pulling away from neutral-toned colors and embracing this vibrant beauty!
Whether it’s a subtle sky blue or a bold navy, blue garages are injecting a much-needed dose of personality into uniform neighborhoods.
Now, let’s buckle up and drive into the mesmerizing world of blue garages, where function meets fashion and curb appeal gets a cool, coastal makeover!
1. Clean Up Nicely
A simple blue garage will catch the eye on its own! Keep it nice and sleek for a traditional look to match your lovely suburban family home!
2. Blue and Red
Mix and match the style of your garage! You can use inspiration from all sorts of places and styles! From a lovely white trim to a brick accent one!
As for the color scheme, blue and red go very well together! They aren’t exactly complementary colors, but they are very close!
3. Wooden Door
If you’re looking to break up the blue a little bit, go for wooden doors to add warmth to your garage! Blue is naturally a fairly cold color, so some warmth will do it good!
4. Frame It
Apart from the regular trim around your garage door, frame it with some flowers or ivy for a more natural look!
5. Keep It Organized
Blue on its own can be an overpowering color, so having a messy garage won’t make it look good!
On the other hand, you can keep it cluttered and decorated, just not messy!
6. Don’t Fix What Isn’t Broken
If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, don’t opt to change out your whole garage door! Try preserving the vintage fixtures and doors you have!
Paint is probably the cheapest option if you want to spruce up your garage a little bit, but don’t go on a full-scale renovation!
7. Rustic Charm
There’s just something about a rustic garage with blue walls that has so much character! It combines the coastal vibe through the blue and rustic charm of exposed beams and worn wood!
8. Get Creative
If you’re an artist, or someone in the family is an artist, use the garage as a canvas! Let your creative juices flow and transfer them onto the garage!
9. Vintage Hangout
The color blue looks great in a garage that has been transformed into a hangout spot! It’s a great way to distract your guests from your messy house!
The blue goes great with hardwood floors and beige sofas, along with a workbench-turned-bar!
10. Greek Traditional
There’s something about a blue and white color scheme that screams ‘Greek’ to us. Imagine pulling up to your driveway and feeling like you just stepped onto a Greek island!
11. Modern Design
If you’re inching more toward a sleek modern look, blue is the color for the job! Apart from fitting eclectic and rustic styles, it’s probably best paired with a futuristic modern environment!
12. Look Down!
This garage combines blue and white as well, only here, blue is the prevalent color! We have accents of white peeking through with the garage door and squares on the driveway!
13. Urban Feel
It wouldn’t be a garage without exposed brick and concrete floors! Blue matches well with both of these, giving it a certain unexpected pop of color!
14. Garage Turned Cafe!
A blue and white theme for a garage cafe would be such a cute idea! A blue exterior with blue accents on the interior along with white is a bullseye!
15. Gray and Blue
If you’re going for a sleek interior, gray and blue will match nicely with the style!
16. Embrace the Beachy Vibe
When you think ‘blue’ the first thing that comes to mind is ‘sea’ so why not embrace that beachy vibe? Opt for a mural that will make you feel like you’re living in a pineapple under the sea!
17. Sustainable Exterior
A green exterior doesn’t mean you couldn’t fit something blue in your garage! After all, there are plenty of gorgeous blue flowers along with green stems that are just divine!
Blue and green are colors of nature, so naturally, they go well together!
18. Orange and Blue
Lastly, orange and blue are complementary colors, so there’s no debate on whether they go together or not!
They will contrast nicely against one another and dance in imperfect harmony while creating the most interesting garage in the neighborhood!
