inner door advice
Hi. We recently had a porch installed at the front of our house. We have a composite door on the front of the house with two windows either side. I would like some advice about what kind of Door to include from the porch to our hallway. The builder has recommended glass with an oak frame, but I am worried about privacy. As you can see from the pictures, you can see all the way into our back garden from the front window in the porch. You would need to be standing at the window to see this, but I am a bit worried about privacy in the winter when the lights are on etc But then I don’t want to get a door with no glass as it will make the hallway very dark. Any advice appreciated.

Comments (2)Hi Karen. I can see you like scandi style and White so why not bring the inside out in your case? It would help if you can provide a pic, dimensions, soil type and orientation for design and planting ideas. I would consider something simple in design though using a scandi colour palette and perhaps blonde wood for decking. Lighting is key and I'm sure you'll be able to find some scandi style exterior lights along with furniture. If budget permits maybe add an outdoor fire or maybe a wood clad ŵall if you have one to clad! I've attached a pic from marnie lewis designs for inspiration only as this would be costly! The White gravel in parts would keep costs down though...See MoreLED light panels for dark inner room?
Comments (17)Hi Robert - appreciate the comment. Floor Layout plan attached. The area of concern is the living area - the kitchen/dining are in the new extension and there will be a glass panel going across the extension ceiling in the kitchen area. Even with the glass in the ceiling and the bifold doors at the back, I still feel the light in the living area will be very limited. We spend a lot of time in the living area and our current living area we are living in is always flooded with sun which I am going to miss! I was thinking of putting a couple of LED white light panels on the utility wall to act as an artificial "glazed window" which can bring some artificial daylight.

Comments (1)Sounds good to me. My sister has a 50s semi with golden bricks. She’s just had a total refurb and has had all the windows changed to anthracite grey, as well as the front door. Looks really good....See MoreLooking for advice re walls, skirting, doors, and windows
Comments (4)Thanks! I agree re the blue. The rug shouldn’t be there when we move in, just the couches and the wood burning stove. I was considering a sage-y green (?) or perhaps just the same grey as the rest of the walls. Is there a reason you wouldn’t paint oak? If I were to paint the skirting I was thinking I should also do the doors and inner windows? I don’t want to place the windows or change anything exterior (especially as the neighbouring houses are all identical to ours in deisgn)....See More
