Door dilemma
I need some advice on a external door from the laundry.
The layout is changing in our house and this will be our new laundry. The only thing I can think of doing to fix this door issue is to install a glass sliding door which could be expensive as they will have to cut out the brink veneer etc. There is no window in this room at the moment so the door would have to be glass anyway to let in light. But I would like to try and avoid doing it - if someone could think of a better and cheaper option?
Its an awkward space as a sliding door will be near the door. I don't have much space to move the wall because the of the window in the bathroom. I do not want to replace the window due to cost reasons. The washing machine will be at the other end of the room as the door swings open towards the wall. And the washer is one of those large 10kg ones so probably too large to have near the doors at the other end. Also where it shows the washer - on the other side of that wall is the hot water system. So no putting door through, but that would be costly anyway too. If I put cabinetry on other wall I will loose a lot of storage.

Moral dilemma
Comments (14)Yep, the aluminium frame and doors are his work. Powder coating done by a local company of his choice. After the frame was assembled and delivered our builder installed it with the reveals. Several weeks later the doors arrived (apparently there was a problem at the powder coaters) we then started the process of several alterations, each time they were re fitted there was a new mark or dint or scratch. After the quote was accepted I asked him to come out and check ours and the builders measurements, he did. I really can't answer why they needed so many nips and tucks... As of today I've managed to contact him and voice my concerns. He was professional and polite! Hopefully the outcome will be 2 new doors...See MoreInternal door Handles for Modern House - Dilemma
Comments (5)They are all beautiful designs and materials; however, I would always need to test how a handle feels in my hand as it will get a lot of use and for a period of years. Personally, I prefer a more ergonomic handle, one that is rounded and feels smoother in my hand when operating. That said, if the squared-off edge feels fine to you and you see yourself living with the handle on all internal doors, then it comes down to which appeals to you more than the others....See Moredouble door dilemma
Comments (8)In pic 3 I assume that is one of the old doors ? I'd go for a similar style so it all looks period . One side I'd do those lock tabs top and bottom , so it is mainly a single doorway , and have a curvy brass handle on the other door -- obviously use that side most of the time , but open the two over summer or whatever suits ....See MoreMirror wardrobe doors - dilemma
Comments (8)Hi, suggestions - you could add panelling to make then look like french/ hamptons style mirror. you could install some ikea curtains and use as a back drop (block colour at back, sheer at front , must be very long.) . You could install barn style hinged doors. You could make it open shelving. You could remove altogether. You could add a nice wallpaper print to the doors, such as hamptons style blue and white or gold geometric and white. and match these colours to your cushions. I would only wall paper opposite wall if you keep the mirror. add a nice tall lamp to make the room bright and inviting and a throw on the couch. replace wall art. maybe paint the wall agreeable grey, reverve pewter or white. goodluck :-)...See MoreUser
