Sampling vs. Reality

In any case, show it when it is finished. I am curious. It will definitely look great. Why shouldn't the tiles be chosen with the same, beautiful taste as the rest?

That always looks great in pictures, but the space needed for it is huge.

Hmm, I see it differently.
But that's just how tastes are, luckily

We have the windows in plastic and anthracite color (matte) and I am very impressed.

May I ask what the dimensions of the platform stair window are? I can never quite estimate that well.

I haven't built yet, or rather we are currently in the middle of it, but I also have the fear that I messed up in some places (for example, the window maker was quite appalled by my "I also want anthracite-colored windows on the inside!" opinion... that unsettles me). I'll follow along here.

Many years ago, I once had a carpenter who installed a 10cm cross beam right in front of the glass facade. Answer: I have that at home too. In the evening, the other craftsmen and I solved the problem together and moved the entire dormer downwards. Since then, there has been a clear view of the river. Color can always be nice, it depends on the overall concept or impression. Visit the window maker at home, then we'll talk.....

So far we have only made minor changes during the construction phase.
But that's also because we pedantically planned for more than a year and we are building with individual contracts.
You have to reach the point where you say to yourself, "Now it fits."
Only things that then appear during the construction phase that do not correspond with the original idea I would tackle again....
100% is the goal but practically not achievable. Here in the forum there is a thread where someone is trying. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

I would really be interested in this thread. Where is it?
I see it like you do. With the first house, I spent most of the time in the construction pit, on the roof, or somewhere else. Interior design was done somehow (back then there was no internet... oh dear...). At the moment we are planning again and will probably start soon, but with a different approach and focus than before. It is by no means easier but we take time for details, colors, but also reduction, because you don’t need every nonsense. Back then I had it like this, it was expensive, colorful but ultimately it had no consistent style or direction. If something ultimately goes wrong this time then it comes out again immediately, and that’s that. But that can possibly be prevented by extensive planning. I think you have to recognize yourself where your weaknesses are in the idea and then find someone who has created beautiful things for themselves and has an eye for it.

I thought so too – all the more the reaction surprised and confused me. Seems overall it’s not used that often after all.

We are also building soon and as of now the windows will be gray or anthracite. Look at many pictures of it online or go to a home center where you can see it live. If you like the color then, go ahead and choose it and you will always enjoy it. I truly believe that. I know the smart complaints about other people's taste. Visit exactly those homes and then decide if you want to follow their taste. That is healing.
