Perfect Ideas for Garage Door Holiday Decorations
The holidays are quickly approaching, and this year, it’s time to really take things to the next level by adding a few pieces of holiday decor to your garage door. After all, your garage door is often one of the first things visitors see, so why not add a few garage door decorations for Halloween and Christmas? From life-like Halloween murals, to elaborate Christmas garlands and breathtaking wreaths, here are a few ideas for garage door holiday decorations from the team at Affordable Garage Door Fix.
Garage Door Halloween Decorations
When it comes to garage door Halloween decor, life-like murals are all the rage this year! Garage door murals are a great way to completely cover your garage door with the spooky artwork of your choosing. Here are a few incredibly spooky garage door Halloween murals from Amazon. If a plastic mural isn’t quite your speed due to the longevity of the item (typically, plastic covers can only be used once, though cloth can be re-used), another great way to decorate your garage door for Halloween is to use garage door magnets. While the magnets are only usable on steel doors, holiday garage door magnets are a great way to achieve the same look as a plastic mural without having to repurchase each year.
Garage Door Christmas Decorations
If you have garage door windows, hanging wreaths in them is a timeless, elegant idea straight from a Hallmark film. But why not take it to the next level by hanging holiday garland on the top edge of your garage door? Choose garland that is as complex or subtle as you like for an unmistakable feeling of Christmas that radiates through the neighborhood. And if you want to make a big statement this year, pair it with a holiday door cover. Whatever your style, a festive garage door decoration is sure to spread the holiday spirit!
How to Install Holiday Garage Door Covers
To install a holiday garage door cover, first, thoroughly remove any dust and dirt from the surface of the door so that the tape can securely stick. Next, it’s a good idea to ensure that the size of the mural is the same size as the space on your garage door that you are trying to cover. If the cover is larger than your garage door, remove any excess material with a pair of scissors and a yardstick for straight edges. Once the cover has been cut to fit the garage door, apply the loop tape (typically included in door cover kits) directly to the corners of the door, taking care to apply it as evenly as possible. Repeat the process with the hook strip on the edges of the garage door and wait 24 hours before hanging the cover for best results.
After the tape has been completely secured over 24 hours, it’s time to apply the mural, matching the corners of the mural so it sits flush with the tape and edge of the door. Repeat this process until the mural is even and secure. For a holiday garage cover on a sectional door, follow the same process as above, only measure and cut the mural to individually fit each sectional panel instead of measuring to fit the entire door.
