How do I beautify this Shutter

10 years ago

I have a huge deck which is also my parking on my floor of the flat. We don't need this parking space on our own floor as we have parking downstairs too. So, we covered the car elevators with shutters.
I have a lot going on the other side of the deck too with outdoor cane furniture and a barbecue and a small swing.

The sofas in the picture are going to be discarded and I want to beautify the shutters in a way that they look part of the deck and yet are operational if I need to use my car lift.

I was thinking of getting them covered with movable covers that can be painted looking like a piece of art in itself. Or hang one painting on each shutter.
But getting movable covers to cover a shutter which covers a lift door is too many doors in itself to open when needed.

Any help or suggestion is welcome.

Thank you. :)

How about you create a mural on the shutter? A colourful painting would really liven up the space!

Thinking on the same lines Tom :)
The Shutter is a perforated type piece of metal.
So just searching for designs that would make it look classy and homely.

Thank you :)
Gurdip.

Do you think chalkboards are a good idea?

I agree too! I personally love chalkboards as they add a fun element to the space. Also a quick tip- Use a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of warm water some vinegar to clean a really messy chalkboard!

How can I have this kind of backsplash in India, Pune?
Q

It’s is back painted glass. As a back splash it can be used as it’s easy to clean and maintain. Highly recommended to be toughened. The entire back needs to be cladded in waterproof plywood and then the glass is stuck on to it with special adhesive or silicon gel. Any reservations on using plywood then you can opt for WPC ( wood plastic composite ) which is alternative to play and is totally termite-water proof.

1950s tile vantiy: Anyone know how to remove it?
Q

I have the same kind of bathroom and saw the same video. I used an angle grinder to remove one of the walls. You have to have hearing, breathing, and eye protection. I don't think there is any way to avoid the dust. I'm going to direct a fan to an open window in the bathroom. My sinks are top mount so there was no problem removing it. I replaced the faucet only for now. I also changed out the drain and stopper. The old one was rusted to the sink. I had to bang on it with my loader from my tractor with the sink upside down to get it off, lol. I have put off removing the rest of the wall and the cabinet because it is such an ordeal. You might check with Daltile to see if they still make the tile. Maybe try cutting away the cabinet while keeping the counterop supported and then dropping it so that the joint gets more exposed? I'll be interested to know if you get to this before me but I'm doing an entire gut job.

I was going to suggest the same thing as InspiredHome. Fix the false ceiling no more than 6 inches from the true ceiling. However you would have to drop the height of your wardrobe loft shutters, otherwise you will not be able to open them once the ceiling in place.. You can leave the carcass as it is, but replace the the shutters with a fixed panel from ceiling to about 8 inches below, and smaller shutters in the remaining space. The false ceiling can stop at the fixed panel above. That way you will not lose loft space

Hi Gurdip. How often do you use the parking spaces and do you use both? Is the parking to the left of the camera shot or directly in front of the shutters? I might think about a mural painted on a board on wheels that could be moved ( if you only use one space) as I assume it would be difficult to paint direct. I also think your sofas are lovely! I would be inclined to make a separate seating arrangement with a table with them as they look as if they're trying to disguise the shutters at the moment. The area is lovely but might benefit from some large shrubs and trees.

I like the previous ideas of a mural especially - could be a tropical scene or beach. Well done for wanting to create a nice scene on ugly shutters - you see so many of them and they can look unsightly.
