New Kitchen!
Comments (34)Hi I recently painted the area between cupboards and worktop in a colour that was in some art work that was hung in the kitchen and sourced a 'cost effective' clear splash back to fit on top. Budget was tight so this worked well. Also just my opinion, the seamless splash back looks quite effective in a contemporary white kitchen rather than tiles. It continues the clean lines and modern look. If you're not keen on bright colours, a marble wallpaper with the clear splash back would also look luxurious and different. Add some lighting under the cupboards to highlight the splash back and accent the room with dark wood whether that's the floor or small items like chopping board or utensil holder....See MoreKitchen Diner Colour advice
Comments (21)Thank you all for your comments! I think for the moment, I will leave the wall tile-less, and in time maybe look at adding a glass splashback. Orla Conneely: the walls actually haven't been painted (properly!) yet - the walls are just a basic woodies white matt paint :-) I'm not sure where you're based, but I've got really good colour advice from Colortrend, so would definitely call into them, and they will be able to advise on a colour Amandajoyking: the room is approx 4m x 5m if I remember correctly DB413 - I like your colour suggestions -I had been thinking of teal/purple myself, I will investigate this further for fabrics for the corner chairs Nicky: the work tops are silestone 'Stellar snow' - it has quite a bit of sparkle, but doesn't dominate, and it definitely lifts the room - I'm definitely glad that I went for something with a sparkle. The floor tiles were sourced from a small independent local retailer, so I can't provide further details on this I'm afraid!...See MoreIn love with a glitter work top? opinions please!
Comments (19)Hi Sal89, I love sparkly things, but I would accessorise with sparkles and glitter rather than the worktop in case you change your mind 5 years on.... I have just done my kitchen and I went for a crystal chandelier and crystal knobs and I think it looks fabulous and very "me". I can change it when I get bored for a very minimal cost! The rest of the kitchen is plain with mussel and lamp room grey units and a white dekton worktop. Another option you can also add a glittery roman blind too! I did look at the glittery worktop it Wren and saw it a cheaper version in B&Q that appears exactly the same!...See MoreThoughts please! Could this look work with my final kitchen design?
Comments (46)Ikea Kitchens are excellent, the attention to quality is superb. Lots of suppliers only offer doors in particular sizes, which is why when you go to an appointment at Wickes for example and you then take it to Howdens, they often have to swap the cabinets around as they don't all do all the sizes. Factoring in that you may want to change the doors in a few years at this point is in my opinion daft. You buy a kitchen and it should last 10-15 years. Magnet and Howdens offer great kitchens too. However, I have personal experience of fitting an Ikea Kitchen last year and was very impressed. I've used Howdens several times too. There are many companies however, that offer custom sizes when ordering replacements such as Kitchen door workshop and Kitchen Door Outlet to name but two. Saying that you can't replace the doors, just simply isn't accurate....See MoreDiego
