Help with splash back, extractor fan and cooker advice..
Comments (3)Hi. More photos of the whole space would really help people to give proper suggestions, so give us some when you can. You have white, cream, grey, brown and black, from what you've told us and this pic. The grey could be the only jarring colour, but we need to see more. Well, at least I do before I suggest the backsplash tile colour and style and size! You can have stoves re-enamelled, but it could look great as is. Cleaning? Oven cleaner, elbow grease, washing up liquid, proper scourers - for the inside, that is. An extractor fan on a traditional stove with a sideways flue is going to be tough. Normally, you'd put this in a chimney breast or what looks like one. Anyway, post more pictures (and reassure us that you are going to move those sockets) and then I'm sure you'll get lots of great ideas coming your way....See MoreHelp with my Kitchen?
Comments (23)Thank you all so much for your ideas!! Ive got plenty of ideas for thought now! I have put some stainless steel shelves up on the left near the window. (I will take a photo soon) Which are similar design to the poles used on the feature wall. Ive also just added some industrial stools to the bar table space to give it some edge. Ive tried to take the theme into the lounge as well....Hope you like!! Once again thanks for all your help folks!...See MoreSplash back and wall color help!
Comments (26)Personally I wouldn't go with a yellow splash back. Not because it wouldn't go but more that you already have enough of that accent colour around the room, over do it and it can look forced. There is a fine line between getting the balance right were it looks classy and going over board to the point it looks naff. Personally I would either go for a splash back that is colour matched to the walls or a smoked mirror. You are limited in some ways because it appears there wasn't any forward planning with regards to splash backs. Any splash backs would need to be confined to the width of the extractor because your curved wall units won't open otherwise. They would have to be packed off the wall if you wanted to go full width splash back. I would recommend a durable matt paint in the kitchen. Good quality ones will withstand washing without polishing up and showing tell tell marks where they've been washed. Little Greenes Intelligent Matt is perfect for this and is our choice of paint when not using any further splash backs above the granite upstands. I understand a colour matched glass splash back or smoked mirror may seem like the safe option and boring to some, but there is no point in being brave just for the sake of it. You've got plenty of other points of interest in the room with regards to colour without having to push it too far. Let the kitchen itself be a subtle canvas to show off other items rather than fight with them for attention would be my advice....See MoreKitchen splash back idea
Comments (5)I love your countertops and think you did a great job with this kitchen on a budget! Are you going for a bit of a statement...or maybe colour? Or hoping to stick to inky blue and white? The first image is a tile that would work with your colours and add a bit of a statement from here (https://www.ceramictilesupplies.co.uk/ceramic-tile-backsplash-ideas/). The second is an idea that would add a bit of warmth to your kitchen with wood effect tiles. And the third is a grayish colour to pick up a bit of grey from your countertop from here. (https://www.porcelainsuperstore.co.uk/opal-grey.html#). White tile is a good option too but I get really picky about matching my whites...I think it could be tough to find a white tile that works perfectly with the white in your countertops and the white cabinets. Conats on the great kitchen project and good luck! xx...See Morehouse mad
