Tiles in every room of house?
Comments (13)The same tiles throughout would create a nice sense of flow and make the space seem larger. I too am building and have opted for stone-look grey tiles downstairs, with slightly darker grey tiles for the bathrooms (upstairs I'll be having floorboards). I like the idea of the house seeming "connected", but do prefer the bathrooms to be a little different. Although, I have visited a display home that used stone tiles throughout the house (including bathrooms), and it still worked really well! Area rugs will add a nice contrast and help to define certain areas if needed. I agree that carpet is harder to maintain and keep clean, so I would opt for rugs in the bedroom. Also a nice plush rug can make the area feel warm and luxurious. Good luck!...See MoreDesigning a modern house with a balinese influence

Comments (21)Levarne Sobotker....although the tiles are beautiful you are very brave having those very glossy tiles throughout your whole house...from experience of having glossy tiles - they show every mark and really need cleaning multiple times a week - and you can't just mop very glossy tiles because the water marks show when they dry on - so you have to do small areas at a time and dry as you go - it will take an age to clean them if you have them through a whole house. We have gloss tiles in a couple of bathrooms and I would never choose them again. They are also very slippery when wet....See MoreAdvice on how to make our 70s home more modern?
Comments (8)Your home does look a little tired and dated in its design and form. Rendering will not modernise it, as the basic shape and form remain unaltered - it will just look like a rendered '70s house. I would be looking at updating the windows, getting rid of your silly, narrow, decorative shutters, and replacing the georgian paned windows with something cleaner and more contemporary. This would give you the opportunity to introduce more thermally efficient double glazing. It looks like the previous owner may have done something like this downstairs? The decorative brackets on the verandah posts should go. Then clean the roof tiles, possibly reseal the roof, and paint the gutters, eaves and trim. However the biggest difference you can make, which gives you the most bang for your buck is in landscaping your blank canvas. If you spent the cost of rendering on engaging a local landscape design professional and getting some semi-mature trees established then it would transform your house. You can't do a lot with the form of your house, so make it the backdrop to your street's best garden. Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See More- 4 years ago
