Window colour and cladding ideas needed!!
Richard Proctor
vor 7 Jahren
Hi we have a large 5 bedroom house with great inside room space, however it was build in 1968 and although the white plastic cladding and white windows back then was fashionable the exterior really does now look dated. We are currently looking to replace the windows with Aluminium frames and think that the RAL3015 or 3016 grey colour may compliment the brick, but would appreciate your views, will it look too dark?? Also the cladding is a real dilemma, my wife really dislikes cedar cladding. Any ideas would be great thanks!

vor 7 JahrenWhen I google those RAL colours they come up as light pink and coral red. I don't mind the white colour. If your windows are plastic they are probably not original - in 1968 they would probably have used steel or timber windows and painted timber cladding. What about coloured glass panels in place of the cladding. Here are a couple of images with darker frames. Do they work?

Kommentare (5)I think the lamp above the table is too big and hides part of the picture behind, which is a very nice one. I would prefer a more technical lamp, maybe a rail with some spotlights, possibly suspended. A carpet is a good idea, but I would definitly not put it under the table, because then even more objects would be cluttered in only one half of the room, the carpet should instead lie on the left half of the room in front of the table, so that it is not covered with furniture. It should pick up the style of the picture on the wall. My first idea would be a carpet I own myself, it fits quite nice to the picture: Ligne Roset - Menhir And I would prefer a white dining table, because the colour of the chairs would make a better contrast, the dark wood of table and floor is quite heavy....mehrSpace solutions
Kommentare (25)Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards...mehrNeed help brightening my therapy room
Kommentare (9)Hey Alice, Yes I know, it's so hard to pick one as there are so many beautiful ones! Yes, I would definitely choose one that's shorter than the sideboard! You could go for something white and simple or something made out of the same wood as the table legs or something that matches the metallic thingy over the desk. I think I would choose a simply white one or a metallic one. Or you could also just put a picture ledge there and then put the artwork on it and maybe a nice candle or a small plant. Depending on the shelf and the size of the artwork, I would put the artwork on it :) Also you shouldn't hang it too high, it shouldn't lose look disconnected from the sideboard. I would say about as high as the grid over the desk but it also depends on the shelf. But I guess you will see it when you chose one! :) I added a few examples but of course those are my taste but I hope you'll find something you like! golden shelf - Urban Outfitters (maybe you can find something with only two boards) Round metallic shelf - Lionshome Picture ledge - IKEA...mehrKitchen/dining room wall
Kommentare (5)Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna...mehr

vor 7 JahrenWe have a similar dilemma, but I think we're going to stick with white windows but replace the old conservatory with a modern grey one. Still not sure what to do with the cladding though!

vor 7 JahrenYou could colour bond the cladding and match in the windows in similar colours.
I think the window / cladding design is what's keeping it firmly in the last century and not so much in a good way.
I would change the window design for plain windows with no bars. Match them in with the exact same or very similar colour render and go the whole hog.

vor 6 JahrenHi,
I used Siberian larch. The planks are 1inch thick (so nice and robust). The planks are fixed onto a black geotextile membrane with a 10cm gap between planks (see attached photos).
Siberian larch can be left to go silver but I wanted to keep the warm colour. I think sometimes the silvering thing can just end up looking scruffy in some cases but I know lots of people like to keep it natural. I had the larch protected by an oil.

vor 4 JahrenThis is our house which as you can see looks similar. We plan to either render the top half in white, add grey or black aluminium windows and clad the lower half with Siberian larch or cedar or flip it.
