brand new kitchen-14'6" width x 10' length one side floor to ceiling units.

Oak wood flooring.

U-shaped units/white composite worktops.

Want modern but not gloss-would like to have orange wall/glass splashback

Would matt/satin painted finish still look contemporary? Want individual look

Hi

A satin / matt finish would be fine and still look contemporary, in fact I think much better than gloss white.

We actually do far more matt finishes than gloss ones now.

kitchen. Shaker and gloss mix?
Q

I also don’t think this works in my opinion the gloss finish and the handleless door doesn’t fit with the traditional shaker door. Consider something that ties the two parts together- I think this could be to have your traditional blue kitchen island and then the wall side have flat fronted matt white cabinets with handles that match the island. Alternatively consider a contemporary take on the shaker door and have the same door (in different colours) for the whole room. Some German manufacturers such as Leicht do a contemporary shaker. There are also traditional inframe kitchens that you might consider- The Modern Classic from Mereway has no panel but is still traditional because it is in frame

Alcove TV Unit, TV is 0.5cm too big! What about ceiling speakers?
Q
Comments (15)
Hi Tony. I think having the tv at an angle and building the cupboard out a little is probably the best option if you didn’t want to downsize the tv. Regarding speakers, ceiling speakers are a good idea if you’re in the construction phase, they usually come in pairs (left and right) and four would be more than adequate for a large room. You would need the ceiling speaker hoods as well for fire and sound protection. Also the necessary wiring would need to be hidden and all speaker wires go to an AV receiver which then connects to tv ( I think...not really an expert on this). Have a look at Richer sounds website, they should have lots of info: https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/in-wall-ceiling-speakers.html @ Jonathan, I can feel my hubby’s horrified look if he heard you say that TVs alone have adequate speakers ;-) (he is a perfectionist when it comes to tech stuff mind). We prefer freestanding speakers so we can upgrade as and when. And finally is the fireplace already existing? If not (at the risk of offending other Houzzers:)) maybe consider tv set into chimney breast above a low ribbon style fire, perhaps bio ethanol fuel as these wouldn’t need a flue. Tv above fire is usually a big no no as the tv is too high up and would cause neck strain but the modern styles could work well. Some photos for inspiration (click to enlarge)

Yeah it's tricky without removing the existing and starting from scratch. I agree 88wj88, that's how it feels to me too. I'm not overly keen on the super modern things, I prefer classic styles but appreciate the feedback and suggestions. The oak is definitely beautiful. It's helped rather well in confirming some decisions, so thank you for all your commentsὠA

high gloss white grey glass or marble splash ax

Do you have any photos of the room? What style & colour of units and worktop? The glass will look great with more modern, slab styles; the marble may work better with shaker units. There are so many marble-style splashbacks, though, and some are quite heavily patterned and stark. Softer, whiter marble-effect quartzes can look stunning - especially if the worktop matches!
