100 models of gates for a more beautiful and interesting facade
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ANA PAULA AND SANDERSON
The façade can be considered the business card of a residence, which can give a positive or negative first impression to the viewer. The main or garage door is no different, they must also be well thought out so that they are in tune with the external look of the building.
The market offers numerous options, with different styles and prices, from the simplest models to those with different materials or well-crafted designs. Therefore, the ideal is for the piece to follow the same style of decoration as the exterior of the house, ensuring a more beautiful and harmonious look.
Among the most popular models, there are the automatic options, with a motor that is activated through a remote control, or the manual, which requires the resident to open.
Opening systems also vary. There is the option for manual, which opens the leaves into the yard or outwards, towards the sidewalk; the sliding gate, which demands space on the façade of the residence for free movement horizontally; and the tilting models, one of the favorites for those who don’t have extra space, as it simply lifts, that is, it opens upwards.
Regarding the materials used in making the gates, it is recommended to choose one that takes into account the look of the rest of the outside. Among the cheaper options is iron, which can be shaped like a horizontal or vertical grating. Aluminum, glass and even wooden gates are the most modern options, ensuring a lighter look to the facade.
Check out a selection of beautiful different models of gates and choose the ideal one to make the facade of your home more beautiful and elegant:
1. in black, in contrast to the facade

How about displaying the personality of your home on the façade? Here, it is painted in yellow, which contrasts with the gate in black, which allows wide visibility of the facade, as it was designed with wide frames and a reduced-size canvas that covers its entire length.
2. Ideal for those who want privacy
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / CLÁUDIA BREIAS
Covering the entire front of the house and preventing the view of its interior, this gate guarantees privacy for its residents. Made in two sizes, one as a main entrance gate and another that gives access to the garage, the chosen tone guarantees a softer look to the whole façade.
3. In a dark tone blending with the façade
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / EDUARDA CORRÊA
As this residence is located in a closed condominium, there is no need for a specific gate for the garage, only the main gate that gives access to the interior of the residence. Made of solid aluminum, it was painted brown, following the same style as the façade.
4. Medium in size, with vertical railing
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / SPBR ARCHITECTS
Its size matches the height of the façade wall. Made of iron with a vertical grating, this gate has a sliding opening system, with the automatic option, which facilitates the process of entering and leaving the residence.
5. Mix different materials
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / RUSSELL ARCHITECTURE
With a breathtaking look, this two-storey house has a modern gate, made with an aluminum frame in its original color and glass plates that guarantee full view of the facade of this elegant and imposing building.
6. Rustic and flat look
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / THIAGO BORGES MENDES ARCHITECTURE
For the garage door, corten steel was the chosen material. This material guarantees durability, high resistance and quality, in addition to a more rustic look, ideal to accompany the excess of wood seen in the external area of the residence.
7. In harmony with the doors
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / GEBARA CONDE SINISGALLI
The tilting model was ideal to take advantage of the space available in this garage. Painted in white, it has plates with frieze horizontally, exactly the same design shown on the two side doors.
8. For a stylish townhouse
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / SUPERLIMÃO STUDIO
This house with a modern and irreverent look has gained a gate that follows its style. With a model in gray painted iron, it was installed beside the small mosaic facade and below a large smoked glass window, resulting in a beautiful combination.
9. And why not… wood?
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / GEBARA CONDE SINISGALLI
An option that results in a beautiful look, using small wooden beams horizontally ensures a swinging gate full of style, and still limits the view of its interior. Ideal to contrast with the predominant white color on the façade.
10. Same model in two versions
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / BABI TEIXEIRA
Made of black vertical iron grating, this model of gate has two versions: a hollow one, installed on most of the façade, allowing a partial view of the residence, and another version in the garage, which completely seals this part of the house.
11. How about a fully designed gate?
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / KANTHUS ARCHITECTURE
Very common in past decades, iron gates with varied designs still have their space in Canarian lands, especially in the homes of those who love small details. In this version, the white gate delimits the entire façade of the residence, including the entrance to the garage.
12. Iron and glass plate
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / BIAZUS ARCHITECTURE
With the horizontal railing, this gate guarantees some privacy to the residence, making it difficult to see its interior. Both the garage door and the main entrance have the same model, while a glass plate is built into the wall, ensuring the garden is highlighted.
13. Wide facade, small gate
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / KANTHUS ARCHITECTURE
With a façade where walls prevail, there is nothing better than opting for a gate that maintains low visibility to the interior of the land. Here, while the walls were painted in beige, the gate was painted white, ensuring a contrast to the combination.
14. Plain sheets with few details
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ADELL AND PORTO ARQUITETURA
Made of solid white boards, this gate simulates walls on the facade of this house. The small hollow friezes are responsible for giving the clue that the entrance to the residence is located there, as well as the lock.
15. The more details the better
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / KANTHUS ARCHITECTURE
For a house composed of straight lines and a discreet façade, a gate with detailed designs can be a good option to guarantee charm to the external area. In this project, the railing has small details, in addition to being painted in white.
16. Discreet tipper model
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / CLÁUDIA BREIAS
A large part of this gate is made of solid iron plate, with the ends with small hollow stripes, which add more beauty to the work. In white, it has the ideal tone to contrast with the sand tone façade.
17. Drawings, cutouts and contrasts
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / FELIPE HESS
A good idea is to opt for darker gate colors if light tones predominate on the facade of the house. This rule can also be applied in the inverse situations, resulting in a beautiful contrast, in addition to ensuring the residence is highlighted.
18. Display each corner of the facade
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / DANIELA ANDRADE ARQUITETURA
Although the closed models are still the absolute preference, glass plate gates are becoming more and more popular, allowing the visualization of every aspect of the outdoor design and adding value to the construction.
19. American style
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / MOINHO DE IDEIAS ARCHITECTURE
The metal gate of this garage is American style, using a motor to open and close. In brown, it harmonizes perfectly with the visible beams of the construction, in addition to the wooden pergola on the outside.
20. Simplicity and beauty
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / IRON ART LOCKSMITH
The vertical iron railing gained thicker frames, ensuring a differentiated look. Without much detail, it shows how simplicity can bring beauty to a façade. The main entrance gate has gained a glass plate.
21. How about a vibrant tone?
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / RAFAEL PAIVA
With the dual function of gate and door, this model opens into the residence. In a vibrant red tone, it stands out amidst the exposed brick wall and the large garden with green grass.
22. No frame, only glass
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ARCHITECT BIANCA MONTEIRO
This idea is for lovers of minimalist gates. Here the glass plate is fixed to the side of the wall, without the need for a metal frame to hold it in place. In this way, the highlight of the facade is the landscaping work carried out in the garden .
23. Wood for a unique look
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / GISLENE LOPES
While the facade of the house has a more rustic look, with a finish that simulates cement, the gate was made of wood, using horizontal slats, which does not allow any glimpse into the interior of the residence. For a more organic look, the piece was painted green.
24. Three gates in two versions
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ARCHITECT BIANCA MONTEIRO
The main entrance gate and the smaller one, responsible for ensuring access to the garage, have a similar design, varying only in their dimensions. The gate fixed on the wall, on the other hand, has a different look: a screen that allows the view of the beautiful lawn.
25. Wooden facade
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / HAUS ARQUITETURA
For this luxurious house, the façade was covered with wooden slats, which also cover the entrance door and the garage door, ensuring a sense of continuity and unity to the external area of this imposing building.
26. With horizontal railing
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ARCHITECT BIANCA MONTEIRO
Another project that uses white painted railing, which guarantees a cleaner look to the façade. Here the iron railing was made horizontally, with small beams next to each other, ensuring little visibility into the land.
27. With designs, for a facade of contrasts
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / SAIANA ASSMANN
The iron gate gained fun designs in the central part, making the facade look even more fun. The façade, by the way, already has a relaxed appearance in itself, as it has a painting full of contrasts, playing with purple and green colors.
28. Solid gate, in black color
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ARCHITECT BIANCA MONTEIRO
As the façade is all white, there is nothing like a black gate to create contrast and bring beauty to the building. With a massive model and tilting system, it does not allow visibility to the main entrance and the garage, giving privacy to residents. The glass plate fixed to the wall is responsible for highlighting the garden.
29. Fifty shades of gray
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / GISELE TARANTO
A tone that never goes out of style, gray is responsible for ensuring a sober and stylish façade. Here it is visualized in different places and tones: on the façade wall, on the gate that grants access to the garage and even on the sidewalk, elaborated with the technique of burnt cement .
30. One more charm
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / CLÁUDIA BREIAS
As residents opted for a gate model that does not allow viewing the interior of the land, the extra charm was guaranteed by the cutout added to the top of each piece.
31. Different models, similar designs
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / DENISE BARRETO
This residence of considerable proportions has two models of gates: one in the garage area, with a tilting system and horizontal grating, and another that gives access to the back of the house.
32. Different opening systems
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / MARTINS LUCENA
In this house with an orange façade, we find two white gates, but with different opening systems. While the first has a horizontal sliding system, the second, which gives access to the interior of the house, has a simple opening system, like a door.
33. The importance of a beautiful landscaping project
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / BIAZUES ARQUITETURA
The preference for using glass plates fixed to the wall instead of an ordinary metal gate is proof of how a well-designed landscaping project can make a difference in a house’s façade, highlighting all the available greenery.
34. Large gate to a large house
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / RODRIGO NETO
As the façade of this residence is large, it was necessary to use several independent pieces of gate, of varying sizes, to cover the entire length of the front. However, all parts follow the same design, with drawing on the corners of the grids.
35. Door and gate made of the same material
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / SEFERIN ARCHITECTURE
Beach house, located by the sea, could not leave organic materials out of its construction. Here, both the main entrance door and the gate that gives access to the garage were made of waterproofed and varnished wood, which guarantee durability and beauty to the facade.
36. Classic model
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / BENDER ARCHITECTURE
Model made of iron railing with black paint, it is the ideal option for those who have ample land, ensuring more beauty to the main entrance to the residence. Special emphasis on the differentiated design on the central gate.
37. Door and gate in sync
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / BIAZUS ARCHITECTURE
Again, the material chosen for the construction of the garage entrance gate and the main door of the residence was the same. Here, the wood shows all its beauty and nobility in a curved façade, with glass and exposed bricks.
38. Don’t be afraid to dare
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / ARCHITECTING IDEAS
Although the simplest models in minimalist design and without many details prevail in the facades of houses today, those who are not afraid to dare may be surprised by the effect caused by a beautiful gate full of curves and details.
39. How about adding it in unusual places?
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / FCSTUDIO
As traditional as it is to add a gate only in access places inside the residence or garage, how about using this visually beautiful feature and giving it new uses? Here, the model similar to the garage door was fixed on the first floor of the building, ensuring style to the facade.
40. Can also be used as a divider
PHOTO: REPRODUCTION / JAA ARCHITECTS
Following the same idea from the previous tip, this residence uses gates to access the interior of the residence on both sides of the building, in the corridor. Keeping the same look, a metal plate is still fixed on top of the side wall, acting as a partition.
