Primrose nightmare!

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

We are re modelling the kitchen/living/laundry area. The rest of the house has primrose colour aluminium window frames and brickwork as show in pictures. I am looking at installing french doors with sidelights and a french looking sliding window in the kitchen (removing the bay window). I am struggling with what colour for the windows and doors. I love the look of the black minimalist french doors but know they won't suit here. Any suggestions... a warm white? Ideally I would get rid of the red brick quoins and primrose altogeher but trying to work with it. Its a house built in 1999. Thanks.

white always looks acceptable and i think the quoins will enhance the look of your new French doors but keep in mind that the new doors will also need flyscreen doors and that's a lot of swinging doors in a busy doorway and a stacking door could be worth considering for a wider opening

Agree with oklouise, stacking windows at your kitchen window would look fabulous, you can then add an extra dimension to your outdoor living, I love black trims, I think you could pull it off beautifully.

If you didn’t want to go to the expense of changing your door change the security door to a crimsafe door for a more modern look,or sliding or stacked sores would look beautiful also.

Agree with Julie Herbert, black would be my pick. I think it does compliment the brick, and always looks wonderful, with a slimline look.
