ᐅ Selection versus Reality

Hello everyone,

a quick question for those of you who have already completed building your house. Was there a moment when you thought, "Oh no, what did we actually choose here? This doesn’t look at all like we imagined it would?"

We are currently having some doubts about the tiles in the hallway. Maybe that will change after the painter has finished and the furniture, especially the staircase, is in place.

How was it for you?

Best regards
Herr Stein

No... actually, there isn’t a single picture here in the forum... even though I have praised the bathroom several times already. I guess I really have to share some now.

That would be a great idea, as it could serve as inspiration. If I remember correctly, there are even windows that reach down to floor level? We’re looking forward to it.

I’d like to briefly quote from the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." She says to him about the new curtains, "You’ll get used to it." (A great scene where she balances on the narrow armrest of a chair wearing high heels.)

The internet is a huge help nowadays when it comes to choosing materials, colors, and styles!

We actually decided on the spur of the moment to tile the stairway. That was after the floor covering, the railing, and the plaster were already finished!

Modern staircase with black wire railing, wooden steps, table with plant and round mirror


Tomorrow is the day...

Wooden staircase with large gray protective sheets hanging over the steps; window with plant visible.


Do I know how it will look or feel? NO
Am I nervous? YES
Has my wife already had a breakdown? DEFINITELY
Will I regret it? 50:50

But for me, the risk is worth it.

I don’t understand. What exactly will be tiled? The walls by the staircase? The steps? The railing?

The wall behind the staircase up to the top

Wow. Well, that’s exactly why you build a house—to be able to try things like this.

By the way, I already think it looks really nice.
