POLL: Exposed brick - yay or nay?

I agree with Rennew Traditional Building Materials - it's not a question of what's 'trending' or 'passé', but of really paying attention to the existing building and marrying that with the sensibility of the future inhabitant. Some spaces suit the industrial treatment, some don't, and no-one should be forced to be fashionable. I can't help thinking of the old Bauhaus principle of 'truth to materials' though. If you find yourself faking an 'authentically exposed' surface, then something isn't quite clicking in your analysis of what's in front of your nose. Not that I wasn't once taken in by an entirely ersatz 'industrial' café in Paris once, which was not, as I'd supposed, a converted butchers! The convincingly-aged metro tiles were to die for...

You could go lots of ways with this kitchen.... You have good light and it looks lovely and warm..... I would personally go for a neutral then you can dress up or down with accessories. Have a look at rolling fog, Mirage II, Dorchester Pink and Clay by Little Greene.

Extension - Render or Brick on a Brick House?
Q

Hi Tina, I totally agree with the miss matching bricks- it either has to be so different that it is clear that it is an extension, nothing worse than trying to blend the two together and then not quite hitting the mark. If you go down the render approach then I too would highly recommend a Krend or Webber render- these have a colourant within the product and as such they should never need any maintenance- ideal if your near trees as you can just blast it with the pressure washer. Another idea could be to do a timber frame extension with a timber cladding on the outside. This should be costed out - it could potentially be more expensive on the materials element, but should hopefully be cheaper in the labour department, and currently labour is pretty pricey and hard to come by. Just a thought, ping some pictures over when your done as would love to see it.

Herringbone or brick bond tile format?

Hi Weewelshdragon, You're correct, brickbond metro tiles is boring, in fact metro tiles period, are boring. They've been around since about the turn of the 20th century, and so "last year!" this is an ensuite I transformed last year from a dark, dingy and depressing space into something light, airy and really quite special. The product is the new thin porcelain tile, which is taking tiled rooms to the next level, and is only bound by your imagination. sizes start at 900 x 900 and go all the way up to 3.2m x 1.6m and range from 4.8mm to 6mm thick and although they half the thickness of regular porcelain they proven to be twice as strong when fitted correctly. Generally available in matt, gloss and textured, the designs and colours are endless. Search for companies like Porcel-Thin™ And see what's available, they shouldn't be overlooked and you'd be the envy of everyone you know. Good luck with your search.
