Hello donned2004, Well you could remove all the things from the hearth.. So it has more space.. Hang the mirror and paint the chimney breast a nice colour to bring the fireplace into full focus.. If you wanted to have an even bigger recess.. you could open the fire out up to the sides of the wooden surround.. So taking out the 30's tiles.. Make sure the lintel is in place or doesn't need replacing and keep the surround it's rather nice.. Remove the current tiled hearth if you chose to open it out more.. and install a flat piece of slate.. So then you would have an open brick recess and a lovely iron basket could sit nicely inside for logs! Another idea to continue into the room.. might be to look at painting the woodwork a colour to compliment any wall colours you have.... Some lovely painted floorboards, or parquet or a natural Jute or Coir flooring if you have not already decided upon something.. : ))

60s house exterior facelift help

Hi Sarah - I hate to say it, but I don't think just taking the tiles off and infilling with matching brick is going to "take it out of the 60s" - it will take a bit more than that to radically change the appearance. Something like a timber cladding could radically change the look, A fab example is in the photos below (not by us, but a fellow architecture practice). This renovation utterly transformed from the original - but something like this would obviously require planning permission which you say you are reluctant to do. (Depending on your area, you may require planning permission in any case to change the exterior materials).

Painting the wood beams and windows for a soft grey would lift the house. But frankly if you are only interested in this house if you radically change it’s appearance then it’s not the house for you. If you have a house that is vastly different from everything else on the road it changes the streetscape and devalues houses in that area so expect significant resistance from neighbours

Hi everyone. Please help with exterior facade options :) I am looking at using granite and timber battens. I have a few options below, which ones do you like best? I should add that the house is semi-detached and the building next to it is all white, so we are trying to create some separation through the facade materials. Thanks so much! Any other options or suggestions are welcome :) Ash Option 1: Option 2: Option 3:
