Hello Mrs G! I personally love the tile, it really is beautiful and that's why it needs to be highlighted. Having too much of it will drown it so to speak so I would do either one of these 2 options: 1) Leave it on the main floor only. Then on the platform floor and wall, up to the window, I would put a matte grey tile of the exact same colour as the grey in your feature tile. 2) Or put it only on the wall behind the bath up to the ceiling a bit like this: I really think that's your 2 options as otherwise it might be too much. With these I think you'll agree it "frames" the tiles more so they have a real impact. Hope that helps! Anthony

Depends on the door style you like, ie do you like a more traditional or shaker style, a modern gloss kitchen, handleless kitchens, flat slab doors with handles, very modern true handleless, and also the accessories you want, are they available like wine racks or display cabinets. So for a shaker door, this would be a 5 piece wooden door, usually made from ash (popular with painted doors) or oak and a veneered centre panel and the frame is a tenon joint, cheaper doors have a v groove running through the joint instead of smooth, doors are about 20mm thick, usually standard sizes but some bespoke suppliers. Considered best. But there's also 5 piece mdf doors that have a vinyl wrap which usually has a woodgrain and can be coloured, also about 20mm, can be made to measure sizes, Then you also have a vinyl wrap mdf door thats a 1 piece door that's been machined on the front and then covered in a coloured vinyl, if the vinyl has a grain it runs only one way and these are only 18mm. Can be made to measure sizes. These can be flat slab, shaker style or other options and are your cheapest. For a gloss kitchen then a painted and lacquered door is best, a flat slab door is usually 18mm mdf but a few 22mm are available. For a handleless J profile door you need 22mm doors to allow for the handle, usually mdf and painted and lacquered for gloss or matt, the vinyl doors (apart from a few cheap cut and edged 19mm thick) just don't have a deep enough handle. Theres also acrylic faced flat slab mdf doors with a choice of edging, 18mm thick and can have a matt or gloss finish, good quality and finish. Cheaper mfc 18mm doors, these are melamine faced chipboard in a multitude of colours and woodgrains and can have a 1-2mm edging, can be made to measure and depending where its made you can get them made with a woodgrain and book leaved so the grain follows from door to door. which can look stunning. The true handless look is just having a handle rail beind the doors fitted to the cabinets and the doors are just a flat slab door as above Then you also have in-frame kitchens which are usually quite traditional with a frame around each door or drawer pack, usually a shaker style door and all made from wood and can work out pretty expensive. Can have visible butt hinges for that traditional look.

If it were my house, I’d paint the flashing beneath the first floor bay window black, and the front door a lovely bright colour, perhaps turquoise. Do you need all the drive area for parking? If not I’d take up curved area of pavers on the left (leaving a walkway of pavers in front of the window) to create a bed and introduce some structured planting. Depending on how the pavers are set, though, that may be a significant job. In the meantime, add a couple of large planters with something like bay on either side of the front door. It’s often a good idea to check with neighbours to see what grows well in the particular conditions of your front gardens.
