The wooden garage of this house is suited to the modern country style of the house that makes use of stone and glass in ample measure.

This palatial modern home is strongly divided by bold lines, and we can see this carry over to the design of the different garages.

8. Wooden perfection

Wooden garage doors are certainly the most popular, and we can see why with this one that compliments this earth-toned home so very well. 

9. Gated

Our next example is found behind a grid-like gate, offering another layer to the style.
