Help needed with design of replacement windows and door

2 years ago

Hi everyone, our old wooden windows need to be replaced and we’re struggling with the style and colour.
We want something less cluttered and will likely have to go for UPVC due to the cost of aluminium.
The house is two story with the downstairs being just 1.2 metres below ground level so need to have a gap in the middle as this is the floor.
Any help is appreciated.

You'd need to post a plan so that we can see where the other rooms are in relation to this one, plus where it is in relation to the garden etc.

Hi, I would definitely consider repainting the doors (especially if it works out cheaper) and would consider a dark grey with blue undertone to co-ordinate with your tiles whilst cutting between the wood / wood sort colours and shades. I would also change the door handles if you then would like to go for a wood worktop, I don't think It would look over the top. Alternativly, if you feel that you dont want a high maintenance worktop, I would look at the wood effect laminate worktops, they do vary in quality depending on where you buy but many nowadays are made to be tough and durable and require no additional maintenance except the usual cleans to maintain hygiene. Good Luck A x

What a beautiful house. So pleased you have embraced the age and style of the house rather than deciding to ‘modernise’ it as so many posts on this forum want to do to their homes. The door is a lovely colour - agree with you about using that instead of the white on the surrounding woodwork - I’d use it on the inside of the door too. Crest idea is smashing. I think all it is missing then is some softening up ... I would add some beautifully simple planted larger tubs either side of the porch - I think the box look a bit too restrained & out of proportion - I’d go for white flowers spilling over the edge and silver foliage. Maybe something with height - olive trees? Bay ? Maybe echo the planting in window boxes on the ground floor cills (obviously without the trees!) ? White/silver planting looks smart during the day, but just glows in the evening & in artificial light so ideal at the doorway. More colourful planting would compete with the door, keeping the palette restrained would, instead, complement it.

I agree with E D the middle pic looks really good!! if your finding it expensive to paint the outside of the house and you really really hate it why don't you buy some paint and give it a go yourself? as you can see in the attached pic the contrast of black door and white house looks good 🤩 I think the new window frame option looks good too 👍🏼 or how about getting frames like the pic attached?? it would be 'less fussy' as E D says
