Windows Design Dilemma Exteriors

What should we do to update the front of our new home?

We are looking to update the front on our new home the car port is going and the garage is going to be converted to a room. But we are stuck with what to do with the windows, as they are so large, and we’d like to remove the cladding but not sure what to replace it with.

Any ideas or thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Kiran

This isn't dissimilar to your house. I like how they've linked everything by carrying the lines of the roof over and by having narrower windows, they look longer and more uniform.

I don't know your taste or how different your looking to making it but I love what these guys have done with the front of their home.....https://www.instagram.com/tierneyterracelocation/ Just gives you an idea of how fun you could potentially make it depending on your taste and where you live. I hope this helps even just a little.

Hi guys, Leelee we are definitely doing the vintage bits on the wall. We actually have some vintage cereal boxes that we are planning on displaying on the shelves (filled with cereal of course)!. Sarainitaly - I'm investigating thenIkea planner but it's painful to work (or maybe it's just me!). Here's a pic of the walls totally painted green now. Think the shelves will look great along with some pictures dotted around. It's the cabinets now that will b a pain! BTW it was pure enthusiasm that stopped me waiting until the water heater came off the wall to paint - lol. I will have to paint the patch when it's off.

Yes, I would and did start with cabinets. Browse through he kitchen photos here on Houzz until you determine your favorite styles. Start a kitchen idea book and save every photo that has something you like, cabinets will be your biggest investment. Once you know your style, begin thinking about counter tops and backsplash. One or the other will be your "star." If you already have a favorite, try to coordinate other choices with it. For example, I found my backsplash first, then chose the counter to go with it. Often people have their counter in first then struggle to find a backsplash. If you fall in love with a beautiful, busy granite you will want a simple backsplash. My floor was last, keeping it simple to avoid clashing with other choices. Good luck and have fun! This can be an overwhelming project but your friends at Houzz can help!

Paint the doors black matt and the fames cream add silver crome door furniture. Huge silver mirror above the covered radiator then add a runner of any colour you like and match it with the lamps and lighting. hey presto done.

What a wonderful hall looks fantastic. For the carpet I would (budget allowing) use chrome or brass stair rods on each stair would look brilliant in there. You could always get an old or cheap console table & paint it yourself in silver or bronze etc.

It all really depends on your budget, you could start with rendering the exterior walls, jet wash the drive, add a porch, new gates or fencing, plant pots or hanging baskets outside

I think the large windows are part of the character and make these houses so bright inside. You’ll probably get the render plus dark windows suggestions, but I’d embrace the age of the house and keep its character (even if they’re not particularly fashionable at the moment -their time will come!)

I agree - this house is true to its period. You could spend a fortune creating a different look but why? Take up a lot of that block paving and plant a garden. You’ll get a lot more pleasure from that than grey cladding or whatever. With the added bonus that when you look out through your large windows, you’ll actually see what you spent your money on.
