When the Holidays approach many people enjoy decorating the homes’ halls, inside and out and as the largest feature on the outside of your home, your garage door makes the ideal canvas for that holiday decorating attempts. However, you want to be able to decorate your garage door without denting or otherwise causing damage to your garage door so here are simple and damage free ways to decorate your garage door for the holidays:

Optical Decorations

One of the best ways to decorate your garage door for the holidays without risking any damage to the door itself is by not decorating it all, but rather to choose to use optical or projection light decorations. Optical decorations work a lot like a projector with the garage door acting like the picture screen. The part that projects the optical image sets on the ground and you can use an outdoor outlet and an outdoor safe extension cord to supply the electricity.

The optical projector uses bright energy efficient LED lights to supply the image and the images reflected on your garage door are bright, colorful and beautiful. With optical decorations you have the added benefit of being to choose animated decorations that are sure to be eye catching to people passing by.

Magnetic Decorations

If you have a steel or aluminum frame on your garage door then you can use magnetic garage door decorations to decorate your garage door. There is a wide selection of magnetic garage door decorations for you to choose from and these magnetic decorations will remain on the door no matter how many times you open and close your garage door. These decorations will not interfere with function of your door and after the holidays you can remove them without leaving behind any marks or dents on your garage door.

Static Cling Decorations

Another type of holiday decoration you may use that won’t cause any damage to your garage door is a static cling decoration. Static clean decorations will cling to any type of material so it doesn’t matter if your garage door made out of wood, metal or fiberglass, this type of decoration can still be used. After the holidays these decorations can be taken down and put away for the next year. They also won’t leave any marks or cause any damage to your door. Static Cling decorations will not interfere with the opening or closing of your garage door.

Decorate the Frame of Your Garage Door Instead of the Door Itself

Instead of decorating the garage door itself you can decorate your home and garage door frame using a garland and lights. You can either make a wooden frame wound with garlands and lights that fit around your garage door frame or you can use small nails that can hold the garlands and lights in place and be pushed between the garage door frame and the garage itself without causing damage.
