Hi
We are finding it hard to decide what to do with our porch and front door.
Including the porch floor tiles, rendering the inside and the door etc.
We have ideas of glass sidelight/s, panels/frames in Umbra grey to match the windows or oak and oak door but can't seem to find a design yet we are happy with.
Any ideas would be gratefully received thanks

Can conservatory become front entrance to home?
Comments (2)Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate your expertise. It's one of my pet hates too that the entrance to a house is not clearly defined. This bungalow has 2/3 bedrooms and we need to create another 2 so the plan is to convert the room on the far left into a bedroom (it's currently a large kitchen/diner) and on the far right which is obscured by trees we plan to knock wc/utility room/storage space into another bedroom. In theory the home will almost be symmetrical from the front if we remove the exististing front door and make it good. Where the conservatory has been built lends itsself perfectly to the entry to the home. Ive looked at changing it to more of an orangery that could maybe blend into better or compliment the house whilst improving energy rating. Sorry, I'm rambling but this house has taken over my waking thoughts and dreams!...See MoreAdvice on 1960s garage conversion
Comments (9)This period was great as they were often really well designed internally. We've worked on several houses like this for clients and we usually advise that its best to respect the period. We agree that that keeping the hanging tile is a very sensible idea, but you could change the plastic windows to timber composite windows and doors that can be designed to echo the period. We used to do a lot of grey even black frames, but nowadays we often do white because it says 'house' and it always works with the interior....See MorePorch/ house frontage ideas
Comments (1)Hi Russell. Have you considered a modern all glass porch? Very popular at the moment and would really suit the style of property in my opinion. Thanks, Horace...See Moreporch paint dilemma
Comments (4)Thanks all for your comments and great suggestions. Ideally i would love it to be just brick but unfortunately the bricks are not good enough as so many are blown. We can't afford to rebuild so it is going to be a thin, smooth render applied next week. I will keep the forum updated. My favourite colour is a sandstone at the moment. Chris...See More
