Sampling vs. Reality

How long I struggled with the selection of the windows.

We finally decided on white glazed wood-aluminum windows on the inside. On the outside, they are gray! Slightly browner than RAL 7016. Please be sure to look at such a window in person; with this combination, we didn’t consider that you can still see a large frame portion from the outside when looking from inside. I often thought that I could have just ordered the windows completely gray, or even black, since you also see a lot of the black sealing.

Why we chose white on the inside was that we unfortunately have quite thick profiles, and the color share in the room was then too much for me. Especially combined with furniture and other surfaces, you are then quite limited in color. If our frame share had been smaller, we would certainly have chosen gray on the inside. See the windows from or , unfortunately such windows were not within our budget.

I have often thought that I could have ordered the windows completely gray, or even black, since you can also see a lot of the black seal.

Ditto, I would do the same for the next house.

An acquaintance had windows in light gray/aluminum inside in a rental apartment. She said it was difficult because you always have to take the window color into account when decorating - I wouldn't have noticed, so probably more of a problem for detail lovers .

But exactly this attention to detail is what makes it coherent in the end. It has nothing to do with design, money, or taste, but you can feel when it’s harmonious!

So in a holiday apartment last week we had plastic windows with wood foil, also on the inside. It matched the Alpine style, but I didn't want that in my own house.

She said it was difficult because you always have to take the window color into account with the decor – I wouldn't have noticed, so probably more of a problem for detail lovers.

Wood was also under consideration for us, but I felt much more restricted with furniture and decor. I don't like it when too many different types of wood appear in one room. With floor and windows, I would have been too limited. I'm more comfortable with anthracite. But that's like everything – ultimately a matter of taste.

We ultimately decided on wood-aluminum windows with a white glazed interior. They are gray on the outside! Slightly browner than RAL 7016. Please be sure to look at such a window in person; with the combination, we didn’t consider that you can also see a large frame section from the outside when looking from the inside. I often thought that I could have ordered the windows completely gray or even black since you can also see a lot of the black sealing.

Why we chose white on the inside was because we unfortunately have quite thick profiles, and I felt the color proportion in the room was then too much. Especially combined with furniture and other surfaces, you are then color-bound. If our frame section had been smaller, we would surely have chosen gray on the inside.

Oh Solveigh, just ask the ship captain down there if it also bothers him when he passes your house and looks up at you (quote from my then construction company on my many worries). You have a super-duper wonderful house with so many tasteful details; if it bothers you too much, I’ll just put up with it and move in there. You will always find something, but then you can correct it next time. When I see your house pictures, I always see the whole room or the whole house, and they are pictures I always like to look at. If the windows become unbearable, I’d order a pallet of sparkling wine and fill the bathtub with it. Windows or not... super great house!!!

Ultimately, as you can see from the positive response and the number of likes on the pictures shown, the house, the bedroom as well as the window colors including the textile screens have become pretty "gei*".

There are certainly not few who would move in there immediately if it were possible. I count myself among them

I still have one question: Unfortunately, I couldn't find your bathtub filler faucet. I would be interested in the manufacturer and model of both the bathtub and the faucet. A picture of them, of course, would also be nice. Because I am still considering installing a freestanding bathtub.
