Porch Flooring Query

Hi all, we have two entryways. They are under cover, protected on two sides, with a timber screen on a third side. Picture 👇🏻 (landscaping still to come. The floor is part of the concrete slab the house is built on. Leading up to them is patterned pavers. I know the obvious option are external (ie slip resistant) tiles, but I wondered if there was an alternative?

Comments (8)It looks to be the underside of a beautiful hardwood timber floor. It might be wise to consider whether a new ceiling with insulation for that upper floor is needed in winter. All white would look good for a crisp finish & some colour on the wall. I personally would look at the area as a whole project & what look you are after. It may be that to make it look finished against the house that some boxing around the top of the pillars & a flat panel roof (could be grooved timber panels that come in large sheets ready for staining or painting) will make it neat & finished....See Morewindow Blinds Query

Comments (5)I would go different again , and do the deck on one level , BUT go over the existing step , the 'terrace' and the footpath . I'd possibly do a built in seat along 'this' near end , and you'd step off the deck down onto the grass , or the path on the right hand side . Brown is the traditional colour to paint your deck obviously , but looking at your colours ( I assume pic 1 was when it was rendered , pic 2 is the painting completed ? ) I'd be tempted to do the deck in a charcoal or even a darker silvery grey , AND the window sills in the grey too . Just my take ....See More

I love your house Jan, when you get your porch paving/painting sorted I think white planters would look absolutely gorgeous and compliment your home beautifully.
