Entrance Porch
Perhaps not a great photo, but this is a photo of one coat of new paint (needs another) of my entrance porch. It’s a small room with the front door on the left and a big white cupboard on the right (woodwork will also be painted).
I’m looking for inspiration. What ideas do you have to make this a great first impression? I was thinking a black edged large round mirror (to toughen up the sweet blue) and some gold door handles (as a contrast) for the cupboard. I may paint the cupboard doors a darker shade of blue, but don’t really want to carry that theme into the hallway where I would then have to paint all the doors coming off of the hallway. I had thought about plant pots but with young children and dogs, they would get knocked over. I thought perhaps a painting, but then it would be behind the front door when it was open. Perhaps the space and simplicity is interesting enough?
Thank you

Comments (4)I think you can do a few things upstairs. You could keep things simple like this:- Or if you wanted to change the main bedroom to the rear of the house - two ways - the simple way:- Or - probably what i'd look in to, and, that would be to make the top left bedroom larger and give it a good En-Suite. Change the Main bathroom and alter the bedroom bottom right. All good sized rooms with a good main bathroom and En-Suite. Downstairs - not too much amending. I'd prefer the lounge at the rear, but that's not so easily achievable - Maybe go for a good long kitchen / dining / breakfast room. The a separate lounge and maybe a snug/ study Of if you fancy some more structural work?...See MoreTiny! front entrance/porch way - need ideas!!
Comments (17)MATH, isn't the lovely panelling the open living room door? I agree put the coats elsewhere, but even if you do get rid of all of them, I'd still put some hooks on the other side where there is a recess so they don't obscure sight lines so much. Empty hooks are useful for visitors coats , or if you are going in and out all day and don't want to be putting your coat away constantly. I'd be tempted to hang coats low and have a shelf above them, with a mirror above the shelf....See MoreIdeas to improve exterior entrance porch
Comments (23)As you can see, we actually own a large portion of the drive to the rear which we would never use, and we have been told the neighbour is keen to own, so there is some negotiating to be done there, and hopefully we can take the garden in front of our property. I am wary of putting up fencing just to the side their door , as it could maybe spoil the appearance of the house as a whole, but then I think, why should they get all the glory? There would be added value to visually separating the two properties, for ourselves, but maybe not for them....See MoreNew Entrance Porch
Comments (3)Looks like a nice porch but can you perhaps show photo(s) from a wider angle? From these photos it’s hard to judge the possible ‘curb appeal’....See More
