Help with an open plan kitchen, dining and living area...
Comments (19)Hi, Could you add a pic of the lounge area outside bedrooms? There seem to be too many palettes of colours within furniture from white tv cabinet to dark brown book shelf to light brown dining to black/blue/beige sitting pieces. Tie up sitting by adding few cushions in possibly black/white/blue combo. Extend sitting area of living through the entire span of AC wall. You need a larger rug for this space. Angle dining table between 30 to 45 degrees with long length between detached counter corner to bookshelf end towards lounge. This will add the flow to lounge. Add a table runner along the centre of the long length. You need larger artwork pics or a collection of art pieces on living room wall behind beige sofa. Lounge can have a console and wall with a composition of family picture frames to personalise space. Remove blue artwork in the last pic. Instead, you can add a composition of wall shelves with artefacts on them or wall hooks with hanging artefacts. Rugs, table lamps, floor lamps and few bold decorative pieces will add the required warmth. A round centre table in the living room can be good....See MoreFront porch and awning
Comments (1)Try a pergola over the door and one over the windows in the middle. You can have lucite or plastic or fiberglass roofing installed on top of it to keep rain out and vining plants for shade....See MoreFront porch ceiling

Comments (5)Hi Kharan, Haiku and Big Ass Fans come to mind when I read 'modern ceiling fans'. Hope that helps! As for the door that you're looking at, I believe that would be a custom-built one as it's designed to match the house's overall look, and it's not a standard size. Best to talk to your architect or interior designer, as Sugarbakers suggested....See More

7 years agoIs this a split level home? I actually expected to see lower level windows under the window box. I would pressure wash the brick and you may need to have some of it repointed. Paint the downspouts to fade out against the brick. If the brick is damaged, consider doing a German Smear treatment to bring new life to the home. Use a square post instead of the scroll work at the porch. Here's a before and after of a look you could use for inspiration.

7 years agoThis house has some great potential! I would suggest enhancing the garage gable by adding a timber frame awning with curved knee braces and metal roof over the garage doors. I think this would create a bit of carriage house feel, and add a focal point to an otherwise empty, but prominent space. I'm not sure what your budget is but carriage style garage doors would really complete the look! Here is a great example photo:

7 years agoI wouldn't paint the brick for a couple of reasons. I think the color is attractive, although it needs trim colors beside it that are more complementary. That beige in particular isn't doing the brick color it any favors. Brick is maintenance free and I would never suggest painting it for that reason alone, unless the color of the brick is awful (and there are some). I like the iron work and the house shape overall is nicely proportioned.
I like these color schemes in particular, with your brick and roof.

Heavy Timber Tudor · More InfoYour landscaping is pretty skimpy. I'd put ten foot deep beds in front of a house your size, with plenty of evergreens for year round good looks.

7 years agoI would start by removing the shutters, adding planter boxes to the windows above the garage doors. With long draping flowers. Add a barn style light fixture over the garage with some projection, black. You have some black dark brick you could pull that out a bit. Also re vamp the walkway to the front door. Remove the shrubs on the right, expand the walkway and add a wrapped beam instead of the iron at the front door. Large black pots can work. Add some color and depth the the planter beds. Paint the the window trim and garage doors black
