Suggestions on how to 'jazz up' the front of red brick home
Comments (13)This is a nice simple style of home that's not going to date too badly. I agree with the above suggestions except for painting. Once you paint you can't go back. You'll always have to paint from then on. A simple timber front patio would look great (floor only). Modern landscaping, stencilled driveway (if budget permits) & then the widened entry (if budget permits). I think the most important element is the landscaping. Mass planting of only a few types of plants will have a great effect. Ask nursery staff for advice. Take a photo with you. Good luck & have fun :)...See MoreSuggestions for front deck needed
Comments (8)It's hard to tell from photo angle, but how do you access this front deck? It seems out of place with the not so desirable views of road and garage. It also seems to lack privacy. You could add some tallish potted plants to help form a privacy screen, add a small seating arrangement (Acapulco chairs and side table), some lighting perhaps. Otherwise, I might be tempted to rip it down and reuse the materials elsewhere....See MoreFront door suggestions
Comments (5)Hi Vanessa I have a couple of suggestions to give you some ideas based on the information given. Firstly a Pivot Door works very well with Louvre Side Panels. We would not recommend using a metal frame for a Pivot as they will likely fail. A Timber frame is ideal to bear the weight and looks beautiful as well. Another option to this is a Juliet style door. This has an opening panel in the door with a fixed Security screen. These doors can also be created with Louvre Blades installed into the front panel to create a Unique look allowing airflow, light and most importantly, your privacy. My Personal Preference is always a Stain to a Timber Door, but white trims do also look amazing. We would not recommend Black or really dark colors to your timber door as this can cause the wood to warp and crack which will reduce its life. The dark colours attract heat which expands the wood and causes the damage. when the black/dark colour is outside and the interior side is in cooler temperatures the heat distribution is uneven which can cause the warping. I hope I have helped you here with some ideas on how to proceed with creating your ideal entrance....See Moredesigner security doors, decorative front doors, custom made doors
Comments (2)Where did you get it, by the way? I am actually looking for some doors for my terrace. The thing is, I don't want them to be opaque. I would like the same design for the lines to be a little more subtle with more transparent glass. Actually, I think there is no need for ornaments on the glass. Just a little shading would be more than enough. I am also curious about the prices on this one because if it's triple compared to a simple door, then I am not even considering...See MoreUser
