You don't have to post the same lights. I think you could do a more traditional "Lantern" shaped light over the front door, and then more carriage lights in other places. Try Lantern & Scroll www.lanternandscroll.com just send them your pictures and they can help. Cheers!

You're welcome! Roof/city scapes are like landscapes, but the views are of roofs not plants. Google roofscapes images and you'll get the idea : ) And if you're not bothered by the roof next door then I'm not bothered by the roof next door! I'm sad to say though that your metal outside stairs idea will likely not get approval from your local Council. I say that approval is unlikely because that roof next door seems very close, so I imagine the setback of your house (and theirs) is likely as close as Council will let you get. In other words, no building of any structure such as stairs would be allowed in the space that's there now. But never say never...give their planning department a call or submit an enquiry online and just run the plan past them. Maybe instead of stairs you actually mean a Juliet balcony? (google it!) Even that plus the type of window it's attached to is subject to Council approval so again, you would need to contact them. Plants on a Juliet balcony would indeed be very charming but I'm not sure how realistic this option is. So all that being said, I'm still going for my roofscape/cityscape option to better incorporate next door's roof. Roofscapes can include trees too you know!

I think balconies off bedrooms are a luxury. If you can afford them, great, go for it. If not- invest elsewhere, where something will get more use. Where we live the council are stopping all balconies due to privacy-loss from over-looking, lots of people now doing the juliet balcony/window as suggested above. I think they are awesome for living areas. Again a luxury for a bedroom. I imagine it is not a cheap build option either with glazed balustrade and waterproofing the inside of the room? I work with teenagers. Their idea of decompressing now involves many hours holed-up in a cave (dark bedroom) and on a device!....fresh air and sunlight pfft- what's that!?!

Hi, I'd go for a black balcony to tie in your awesome black theme. Perhaps something with space for some plants to brighten the overall appearance of the house? What is the reason you want a Juliet balcony? Do those windows open right up and you need them for safety reasons? I love the overall facade, and apart from some landscaping and removing those external blinds - I'd leave it as is. Good luck
