Help with back splash and counter tops

We are remodeling our kitchen. I believe I have narrowed it down to white cabinets, MSI quartz soapstone mist counter tops and arabescato caarrara subway tile for the backsplash. We have not selected flooring yet but I am leaning toward a darker wood. I am trying to decide between a polishedvs honed finish for the counters and backsplash. Not sure which way to go. I am attaching our designs but we will be going with a wood hood instead of a stainless chimney style. My inspiration pics are attached as well

Kitchen worktop counter colour ?
Comments (1)You have already installed the backsplash prior to new tops? As long as you can get the tops out from under it , shouldn't be a problem. What color are the cabinets and floor?...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 bar counter need help choosing material
Comments (1)Could you attach a piece of clear acrylic sheet over it?...See MoreFilling a gap next to counter top sink
Comments (3)As above, the sink is supposed to look like that, the same with baths of that fashion. If you fill in the gap that side, it may look odd on the other side. You really need a smaller basin so that the gap around it is larger to enable wipe ups. The other choice would be to have a counter top sink with a back and a small side edge so that they fit in to the corner like this:- It looks like it's next to a piece of MDF, so hopefully it's not fitted yet as that needs painting and sealing otherwise it will soak up the water and swell....See More
