If you're looking for an affordable garage door with a mid century modern or contemporary flair, there's no better way than to simply add a vertical window design to the door. Shown here are traditional (and budget-friendly!) long panel steel garage doors with windows arranged vertically on opposite sides of each door, giving the mid century ranch a whole new vibe. | Project and Photo Credits: Pro-Lift Garage Doors Grand Rapids

Orange County, CA - Dynamic Garage Door has been designing, crafting and installing custom garage doors and gates throughout the state of California for years. Our custom door designs have earned us notable distinction and satisfied our customers throughout our trajectory. This Huntington Beach, CA Mid Century style home was retrofitted with custom-made modern style entry courtyard gate and garage door. The jambs on the garage door opening were redone in the same wood and stain color as the garage door to frame the slick modern garage door design beautifully into the home's rock exterior. The entry gate sits on a pivoting steel frame embedded with a single wooden slab to further accentuate the fine lines and minimalistic style of the Mid Century and Modern architectural elements. Mixing architectural styles create an outstanding eclectic look that is sure to make heads turn. Each of our garage door and gate projects is different, uniquely designed for each of our client's home.

1,318 Retro Car Porch and Shed Design Photos

A retro car porch or shed can be used to store large and/or infrequently-used items that don’t have a place inside the home, such as bikes, gardening supplies, tools and seasonal decor. However, to ensure your space doesn’t become a dishevelled mess, it’s important to include shelving, cabinets and storage boxes for every tool and piece of equipment you own. Even a car porch can be designed to store extra storage boxes, while not encroaching on your motor vehicle. For ideas on how you can transform your car porch or shed into a hardworking or double-duty room, browse the photos on Houzz and read on for more tips.

How do I organise my retro car porch or shed?

One of the best ways to keep your space clean is by adding built-ins. They allow you to carefully organise all your items so they're easy to find and put away while you work. Add cabinets along the walls, a built-in workbench for ample counter space and wall hooks for hanging brooms, shovels and other oddly shaped tools. Stow pricier, cherished tools in a locked toolbox, and use wall-mounted racks to keep bikes out of the way. Think about your ceiling too; many manufacturers make overhead ceiling racks for seasonal and infrequently used items.

Should I get a shed?

If your retro car porch can't keep up with your purchases, consider adding a garden shed to take on some of the storage load. Because it's in the backyard, it's a convenient place for gardening or yard equipment. When the weather is nice, they can also work as a detached living space for work or play. Because they don't take up much room, they are easy to add and come in a variety of price points, which makes them work well for many families.

What else can I use my retro car porch or garden shed for?

If living space is more of an issue than storage, you can always convert it into an extra room. Because it is often placed out in the yard, a shed makes a fun playhouse or outdoor playroom; it can also work also a quiet home office for those who work from home. A car porch, whether detached or attached, can also act as a home office or playroom, as well as a music room, craft room or extra bedroom. If you're turning it into a fully developed space, make sure it complies with local ordinances and has enough ventilation, light and insulation for seasonal temperature changes.
