Why exterior design is the new interior design

Unique blue coloured uPVC windows in cottage

It’s not enough to just decorate the inside of your home anymore- the outside needs some love too. When was the last time you took a good look at the exterior? If you think about it, what do people see first when they visit you? If you want to impress and increase your kerbside appeal, start planning your exterior improvements now.

Wow with your windows

The first way you can dramatically change the appearance of your home is by updating your windows. Poorly maintained windows can ruin the look of your home as well as leaving you exposed to draughts and cold spots. With efficient uPVC or aluminium windows you can brighten up the look of your home. This can also improve its efficiency; greatly reducing your heating bills too, so make sure you feel the benefits. Colour is not just reserved for the inside of your home. Our uPVC windows can match any colour scheme you have in mind, allowing you to be as creative as possible. Our aluminium windows can also come in a variety of colours including woodgrain finishes for a rustic feel. If you want to add unique features to your home, we can also make decorative windows with mirrored glass or a sandblasted effect. These can really give your home a focal point and add that ‘wow’ factor.

Breathe new life into your walls

The outside walls of your home are one area that can provide a wealth of renovating opportunity. If all the houses down your street look the same, cladding your walls could be a great way to stand out. The choices are endless; if you have a brick exterior then simply cladding and painting your walls will instantly give you a new home. Timber or stone cladding can also give an attractive aesthetic. They are also an innovative way of disguising an unsightly element of your home you don’t want on show. If you are happy with your current home, why not add some cladding to your new extension? Combine glazing with a wooden cladded area to create an authentic European feel.

Beautiful, efficient doors
