front garden neighbour has cut the trees
Comments (14)I still think laurel is a better option than most as it will give instant height and is cost effective to buy. Alternatives like buxus are generally only cost effective in small specimens that could take ten years to grow enough to obscure the red and white pillars. Lastly I disagree with the earlier statement about how laurel won't be possible to maintain at a low height- firstly we don't know what height this homeowner will want but in my neighbourhood there are examples of varying heights demonstrating different heights are possible....See MoreUgly garden wall - help please
Comments (1)I would buy Acrylic garden mirrors and alternate the length if the wall with trellis and mirrors. Grow something rampant up the trellis and you soon won't have to look at the wall- I would get clematis and jasmine and honeysuckle and passion flower...See MoreUgly Facade.. What do i do with these tiles?
Comments (37)Hi interiorqueen and congrats on your new purchase and mortgage-free status wooppee!! I agree with other comments about preserving the shared appearance with the joined on neighbour and focusing on the garden. I don't find your house unattractive and in fact I really like the tiles! I think removing the sliding door and improving the entrance will make a big difference. I really like the mock-up with the trees. I think having a couple of smallish trees in the front along the drive (make sure they're not going to grow into whoppers!) would add interest at ground floor level and give the eye something else to focus on rather than the current rather stark facade. With some lovely planting I think the house will look great....See MoreMy bathroom has no windows - how do I get some light in there
Comments (8)Could you have a window with obscured glass or sandblasted glass? I would look into this first as lots of houses I have lived in have had the same issue with bathrooms looking directly onto neighbours properties, all have had frosted or sandblasted glass. My last house had a bathroom with no window and we didn't change it as we were there only briefly. It had pure white tiles which made it feel somewhat cold, I would avoid these. Something like a textured off white tile may be better (Porcelanosa have lots of choice). In terms of lighting, the quality of light is really important. LED's with a high CRI rating will give a much nicer light quality than cheap yellow or blue tinged ones. If you can't put in a window then perhaps hang mirrored units in the alcove and have the space packed out so that they fit flush with the walls either side. I would leave a space below them to utilise the shelf....See MoreSonia
