doors and windows - doubting my decision
Comments (4)If you can see the back door on the same wall as the bi-folds then i'd paint that the anthracite to match the doors and also the frame. Otherwise you'll have white windows, a black door and anthracite doors too, all on one facade. On the front it won't matter, and you have done the right thing and ordered a black frame for the door. I'm sure it will look great!...See MoreSliding doors colour choice. Not black, white or anthracite...
Comments (10)Minipie, this is a tricky one. The greeney grey would look lovely with your yellow brick or even a more yellowed grey, there are lots of houses where I live with yellow brick and ones with warm grey pale windows look lovely. I recently replaced all of mine and had the same colour inside and out. I went for a warm green grey (F&B Light Grey 17) and the same inside. As most of my neutrals inside are from the same 'hue' family it was ok, but if they had been 'bluer' as you say it could have been tricky. If the tones are the same (how light or dark) and the colours mismatched it is very noticeable. If the colours are different then the tones need to be a bit different too. I would be inclined to make a selection that works with your inside colours first and then actually paint the samples on the outside to see if they work....See MoreHELP... ideas for modernising and improving our house frontage
Comments (27)Hi Ryan Absolutely love the exterior of your house, i've done a design i hope you like it. I have gone with a touch of modern but also in keeping with the original features and style and history of the house. I've gone for a more Georgian/Tudor door for you in black which i think accentuates the black tiling. You could just paint the door you have and add some DIY stained glass for the pannelling. Adding some lantern wall lights are a great idea to illuminate your entrance space in a safe and also decorative way. Think about adding Drive over lighting around your graveled area to help with parking. I think you should keep the white and exposed brick, maybe just a clean up with a power jet and then a paint should do the trick. I really think you should keep the black features, it adds contrast, so I've kept this in and chosen black outdoor lighting to compliment this. For the garden area I've chosen an alpine and topiary style, alpine succulents and cacti are really in at the moment so if you're wanting a more modern front then definitely go with alpine. Plus you can find some alpine succulents that have a hint of red in them which will compliment the red brick. You could also get some spike lights too, stick them amongst the plants to create a feature. Here are the products I have chosen: Colone Outdoor Lantern Bevelled Glass Wall Light Lantern - Black [Stanley Caspian Outdoor Surface Mount LED Drive Over Light, Black[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/stanley-caspian-outdoor-surface-mount-led-drive-over-light-black-prvw-vr~112925188) Georgian Front Door [Nelson Outdoor Adjustable Spike Light, Black[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/nelson-outdoor-adjustable-spike-light-black-prvw-vr~124908534) I hope this helps, let me know what you think.

Comments (15)I really wanted crittall style and tried my best to get it and work it within the budget but the bifolds worked out just so much cheaper unfortunately :0( The OH is stressed because the whole thing has gone over budget as it is so expanding the doors from 3m to a 6m span increased the cost significantly and meant we have had to cut down on certain luxuries we wanted. Crittall was one of those :0/ But yes, I do love the black and as the kitchen is mostly dark grey I think it will contrast better...See MoreA B
