Size of Corian Upstand
Comments (15)Hi, I had this dilemma as well. Personally I found a short up stand of the same worktop too chunky. Mine is a white gloss kitchen and I went for a white glass up stand in 6mm glass. It's barely there - but it might not be as stark white as your worktop (you could go for a colour though!) I wanted a deeper up stand is about 10" but my kitchen people were super awkward about it and got stroppy, so I ended up with a 15cm one which looks nicer than a small one. My main issue for wanting a deeper one was because of the splashes from the sink. They called me crazy - but it gets v dirty behind my sink! I do have a kitchen paint of course which is washable but a deeper one would have been much more practical!...See MoreSplashback dilemma
Comments (14)I would replace the dark worktop for a white one, if you need a refreshing look as no light bounces on dark worktops, hence why yours looks so cramped. then you add a white splashback too, subway white tiles are the cheapest of tiles and glossy ones bounce off the light great, which creates a more airy kitchen.. If you go for mirror splashback, unless you have OCD and enjoy cleaning 3 times a day, then forget it. it will always look smudged....See MoreTile finish dilemma
Comments (9)Hi Really hard one to call but we personally have trouble with Tiler's. They are just not simply neat enough sometimes o things like trims and planning the cuts. All our guys a joiners and probably waste too much time on things like planning but it's so essential to get a good finish. I personally think there needs to be a better trim to use on those metro type tiles. The bevel causes loads of problems . It's hard to say don't pay him because having been there before on the fitting side I would of been devastated to not get paid but the fact is it simply isn't good enough . I would offer him to put it rite at no extra cost. Any decent tradesman would never leave a customer unhappy so I'm sure he will. Get him to use the correct trim for those tiles and cut it all neater . Not sure what you can do with the corner detail without buying new tiles and re-tiling. Not exactly answered any questions have we but just tell him your not happy and you just expect it all rectified. If your nice about it so will he. If you slag his work off you may find yourself in an argument. Good luck and post up the results. Brad V.I.P Walls Ltd...See Morepaint colour dilemma
Comments (2)I remember your kitchen. I think adding more wood, wicker and cane would go with the Scandi theme and add warmth. The floor is great. So where the cute children’s Xmas paintings are I can see a couple of chunky wooden shelves (Etsy is a great place to source them), wicker light shades are gorgeous, or wicker wall plates (see below). I would also add a wooden chopping board to carry the wood theme. It can learn against the backsplash when not in use. Plants are good too. I think the sage green is lovely, but then green is my favourite colour. Scandi look tends to be more soft white (not Brilliant White), but sometimes the addition of black looks fab. In the last pic you can see how black is used with the lighting, handles and rack and yet it still looks bright and fresh....See More

9 years agoHi Carolyn. I think your kitchen looks great, love the styling of the shelves. Does the "splashback "on the oven come off? If not, and may be wrong(!), I think a splashback might look a bit odd. If you were to do anything I might add a splashback all the way across that wall up to the bottom of the first shelves but it would be good to see a pic including the ceiling. Your kitchen to me seems all about texture so I would actually avoid any type of coloured glass but add more interest with texture. I don't think it's needed though I would just clear a couple of things off the worktop add some wild flowers (good faux if necessary) and a potted herb or 2
PRO9 years agoHi Carolyn, I think glass splash back will look lovely in the space, will bring modern and simplicity in your kitchen....
PRO9 years agoHello,
What a beautiful space, your kitchen has such a warm, organic feel to it.
We have some handmade tiles which could look amazing in this space. They have a subtle speckle coming through the white glaze, which gives them character and warmth.

Good luck with the rest of your project whichever route you choose!
