What makes a house a home?

They say a house is not a home unless there's someone living there and that is true, for once someone moves into a house, that house gets a personality and becomes a home. My home is a mix of me, someone I'd like to be and clutter I should throw out. It is warm, inviting and a home that is filled with memories. I enjoy all the things associated with a home, my TV dramas, films, garden and oddities, such as my quirky bathroom, with its old fashioned coloured bathroom suite, Persian rug and teddy bear, which I refuse to change regardless of fashion. My home is me; I don't need the dramas of the outside world, my home has seen enough to rival any on TV and through it all, my home has looked after me and I it. For me, that is what is called 'Home!'

Suggestions to update the exterior of 60's house. Cladding windows etc
Q

Hi Alfie, A few suggestions that might help if you want a modern look to your home. Extend the current cladding to underneath the first floor window - this will create a nice line all the way from the ground to the pitch of your roof. Then stain all the cladding to match a deep wood color Change the windows at the fron of your house - may I suggest a black frame (here's a link with some examples - https://mariakillam.com/black-windows/). What this will do will balance the horizontal and verticle lines of the front of the house because of the grid like pattern of them, which is currently unaestethically pleasing. Also the white of the window frames do not go well with the cladding & brick colors. Paint your bricks a dark charcoal color. Paint your garage door black. Paint your front door black or install a larger front door package that is more modern and maybe incorporates the kind of windows you will have at the fron of your house like mentioned above. As has already been mentioned, the landscaping needs to be extended up to your home (the mature tree is wonderful). Right now the front of your home looks like a concrete jungle. You can soften this with scrubbery and possibly allowing a virginia creeper to climb up your home (this is a non-evasive climber that will not hurt your brickwork or structrual integrity of your home). All of these suggestions combined will transform the look of your home, give you an exterior to be proud of, and possibly give you the best looking house on your street. Of course, if modern is not what you are going for, this won't work, but may give you some ideas to jump off from. Best wishes & good luck!

I would suggest looking at what has worked on other pairs of similar houses. Our architect pushed render and black windows for our 1970s house but we used Rightmove to find some roads with similar houses and went along each road deciding which alterations we liked (we eventually just went for upgraded quality windows and very little change in style). Just see what others have done and what you think looks good. My gut feeling is to render the porch (to match existing) but leave the wall adjoining the neighbour untouched and leave windows white. Our house has the same roof tiles as yours and we found some redland flat tiles in a similar colour for around the new dormer/bay areas so they tie in with the roof but lose the chunkiness. But it’s your house and your taste and these contributions should be “food for thought” not instructions!
