Hi. If you mean window dressing I'd add Roman blinds outside of the recess to give the illusion of more height. If you mean something else, then I'd add 2 shelves which run between the wall units either side and accessorise with glass objects. As you've got an upstand I wouldn't personally add a splashback. However Do you need a colour that works with the floor or is that being changed?

Chandra,

No problem. Do you have room either side of the windows for a valence? I do like the idea but it would depend on the style and design.

With the shelves. I like the idea but it depends on the style of kitchen. Looking at the unit fronts I think this will be a good idea. I would probably do blinds (a little higher then needed to give the illusion of more height) and then the shelf a little higher to fill the gap. If you were my client I would need to play around with some renders to see how cluttered and heavy they would make the space look with the dark cupboards and your lighting choice.

With splash back again it would depend on the style and the accessories being placed with in the space. I would keep it light though. Possibly glass to add a little reflection.

Minnie is correct though - if you have an up-stand, it's probably best to paint the walls instead of a splash back.

A nice big island with breakfast bar would fit the space nicely. We look forward to the finishing pics.

All the best,

Gina
