Paving paint would be a cheaper option, Modwood is expensive but there is no maintenance, you could you use just ordinary timber decking for a timber look as well but it won't be as inexpensive as paint obviously. I think paint will look cheap. If it was me and I only had a choice between painting the tiles or leaving them as is, I'd leave them as is. I'd worry that it would scratch off the tiles especially on the ends. I used to have a garage painted in grey paving paint, it was very Matt looking, not shiny and the grey looked really grubby after a while. The tiles may not be your favourite part of the porch but make the decorating items the feature or save up and get them replaced with a grey tile you love. It's a small area so it shouldn't cost the earth. Do the removal yourself which would save you some money. It would really update the front of your house.

Hi, not sure how the full length of your wall jutting out looks. But I think a mirror covering that entire part of the wall and then a fantastic piece of artwork on the wall above your small table would look great and open the space up a lot. Depending on the size of the artwork you could even do without the table. Imagine the gorgeous impact that would make.

Definitely requires wallpaper or paint. I would probably go a textured wallpaper like a bronze /gold weave wall paper. It will give the area deapth and frame the space to make a statement. You have the furniture and space for it. Large art or a mirror. I would possibly keep it rectangular or squarish. A rug would soften and fill the space but would have to be selected carefully to ensure no tripping hazard. Maybe something patterned (replicated through abstract & lines like the legs of your table, with a pop of colour and upgrade the vase of flowers to reflect this colour. Basis of design is replication whether it is colour, shape or pattern.

Hi Emma! Megan from Bluethumb online art gallery here. I agree with what a few people have said already about using an artwork that reflects light, either by framing it behind glass or using metallic materials on a canvas. Birds are really trending at the moment! https://bluethumb.com.au/becbartell/Artwork/black-sunrise  This piece uses gold leaf to create a reflective background. https://bluethumb.com.au/sally-browne/Artwork/cockatiel-forest Sally Browne's work is very popular, and looks great behind a frame. It's also predominantly white, which will keep the space feeling open and airy. Alternatively, a bold pop of colour will keep the space feeling alive https://bluethumb.com.au/lilynova/Artwork/abundance-of-the-heart https://bluethumb.com.au/penelopeoatesart/Artwork/landscape-narratives Let me know if you'd like any more suggestions!
