I'd go for Grey so that the door will look bigger and more impressive. Look into colour bonding the white window frames in the future to the anthracite grey to match the door. It's surprisingly cheap compared to replacing windows. Here is one such company that undertakes that work, that we have used to give you an idea of what is achievable:- N W Window Repairs We were so impressed we had the conservatory and garage done!

Hi, That is a large amount of unhappy customers and can understand why you'd be apprehensive. I can personally vouch for solidor; The door was ordered, supplied and fitted by our contractor in a matter of 2-3 weeks all in a reasonable price. Another positive experience with composite doors is with Walkers Windows; they also supply doors in styles similar to what you are looking for and have 4.8/5 rating according to their website. we have had the door for over 5 years with no issue. I hope you find the door you are looking for. Good luck!

I’ve answered on your other post ref door colour, so have a look if you wish. As to the brick colour, my mum’s neighbour painted over some beautiful red bricks (sacrilege!) in a terracotta paint then new owners moved in and painted it pale cream and it looks much better now. They also built a wall topped with black railings and it’s very smart now.

Hi, I definitely wouldn’t install a toilet next to the dining area (no privacy), not would you have room to create a corridor - you’d need 3ft for sure and that would leave you with only 7 ft 7” in the dining area, which is a bit of a squash. So the best idea is to create a utility/toilet in the kitchen, as you say, on the left behind the stairs. If the wall between the back door and the sitting room is 3ft-3ft 6” I think you could create this space without moving the back door. But it would be big enough fir toilet, cloakroom basin and the washing machine and dryer stacked, if you have one. You mentioned turning the window into glass doors, but I’d be reluctant to do that simply because you then lose more wall space for the kitchen cabinets and you’re already losing a wall between the kitchen and dining area. But you could change the back door for a fully glazed one to let more light in. I tried putting an island with overhang (3ft in depth to allow for bar stools and storage) but the space would very tight, even running the island vertically on the plan as you need the best part of 3ft to walk either wide of it, so possibly a peninsular would fit best. As you are short of wall space for the fridge freezer, would you consider installing it under the stairs, depending on its size? Ps I meant to say, best option for the toilet door in the kitchen would be a sliding ?barn style door or pocket door if you had the room.
