Backsplash? Hardware?

8 years ago

Ideas for lighter looking backsplash? (Microwave, fridge,stove are black. Dishwasher is black and stainless)

Hardware or no hardware? We have an almost 1 year old. We like the look of no hardware, but are debating which to go with!

Hardware for sure, brushed nickle or oil rubbed bronze

Adding silver tone hardware will break up the dark of the cabinets and add interest in the kitchen. )Also with all the movement on the countertop granite I would suggest a tile solution for the splash. These have interest without overpowering your stone:

Updating a old hand made pine kitchen

Friends you have been wonderful, thank you for your honest opinion. Maybe all I need to do is change the handles and re-wax the pine. I know once I paint it, I will not be able to go back. It is wonderful having such a supportive and active community. I will re-think the plan, maybe should paint the pine dresser and the chefs block and choose some new flooring . The tiles are handmade in Italy with the odd bumble bees and admiral butterflies. However could re-think the work surface and the floor too. Thank you colleagues you have been very helpful. Christine

What colour would you paint these cabinets?

Hi Cesca, as your kitchen is quite dark I would go for white cupboards and natural wood worktops, something like your table and chairs. This I would live without changing as I think they looks very nice. I would move the table 50cm from the kitchen cabinets and put some nice carpet just under the table and the chairs to make the space warmer and more cozy. I would paint the walls with light green and add some colourful details. White ir light grey curtains would also make your kitchen look special. If one day you decide to change the floor go for natural wood.

I would suggest keep the floor and worktop as they look in good condition and not really out dated. what is the cabinet door made of? if they are melamine, it may be difficult to change to a designer color other than the off the shelf cabinet paint colour. if you do have the choice, consider some classic designer color. Farrow and Ball, Benjamin Moore will be a good starting point. you may consider color in white, grey or sage tone. As you have a shaker kitchen, it is much easy to work with and won't be out dated for a long time. I attached a couple of photos of shaker kitchen in Farrow and Ball with wood worktop. the first one is in Blue Gray, second one in cornforth white. as for the wall tiles, you may consider clad them with IKEA backsplash, paint them with tile paint or even stencil them. if you are willing to do some more complex work, replace them with some subway tiles off eBay. but I would always be cautious of removing old stuff as you never know what you will find or damage and the cost can easily escalate.
