Porch Flooring Query

Hi all, we have two entryways. They are under cover, protected on two sides, with a timber screen on a third side. Picture 👇🏻 (landscaping still to come. The floor is part of the concrete slab the house is built on. Leading up to them is patterned pavers. I know the obvious option are external (ie slip resistant) tiles, but I wondered if there was an alternative?

Comments (4)Those tiles are beautiful so I see why you favour them. They appear to be very similar colour to your brick pattern tiles. I think the ideal situation is to have the same flooring in both areas since they are connected and for cohesion. Maybe others will provide a different solution so you can retain the brick tiles as well as having new tiles. Have you seen Smartstone Athena? It would go well with a grey laminate (I'll have a look what's on offer) and Hogs Bristle wall colour. There's also another stone that is similar to Athena but the veining is diff colour. I'll have a look....See Morewindow Blinds Query
Comments (9)Thank you so much, again, annb1997, I really appreciate your help. Totally random but when we were looking at flooring options yesterday, the store also stocked the blinds. A little more expensive than the ones I’d originally seen online, with a slightly different operational style but also sturdier looking and a recognisable brand name. Since the store owners are extended family, I’ll also be able to rely on their review. Small town living at its best ;)...See MoreLaundry room toilet suite addition query
Comments (4)Looks messy, difficult and expensive. I don't know if you will have enough fall in the sewer pipe. I would suggest you get a sewer plan by contacting your local water authority, and perhaps a second opinion once you have this information. I would be asking about where the current laundry waste runs as this would seem to be a more logical connection. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreFront porch ideas
Comments (10)Just as a matter of interest , which parts have you painted white ? A photo would be good haha . I hate painted driveways -- I think they look artifical and tacky , they can peel and look even worse -- I can't think of a positive personally . I'd waterblast or chemical clean ( DIY or get a pro ) and even if not perfect , it has character ! When that 'character' turns to cracks and weeds growing through and puddles then you dig up and re-do , or resurface in some cases , but I'm not a fan of resurfacing either . In other words , I think the driveway isn't too bad -- I could even live with the existing tiles if all the feature fittings were white . Yes , I know , they are slippery and you say cracked -- the bits I can see they look like they'd last a couple more years ? To me , I'd be more inclined to change the garage doors ( or paint if tidy enough ) before I did those tiles , but you know their condition , and your priorities and budget ....See More

last monthI love your house Jan, when you get your porch paving/painting sorted I think white planters would look absolutely gorgeous and compliment your home beautifully.
