If you have an open mind and a cutting-edge approach to creative house design, consider opting for a glass panel garage door divider inside a living space over the tried-and-true French door systems.

Wait. Did you just read that garage doors can go inside the house?

Yes. You did. Garage doors have been opening up inside commercial city spaces and some high-end homes in trendy locations for at least a decade, so the idea isn't entirely new. But the modern-looking garage door Avante from Clopay makes the idea even more appealing. With window options that range from clear to tinted, you can dramatically alter the look of the space, and at the press of a button — a garage door opener button — you can create a larger living area.

Warning: This design idea isn't for the faint of heart or anyone who is still asking "Why would I put a garage door inside the house?"

Don't worry. You can still use the Avante garage doors on the garage — which also is where you should keep parking your car.
