Kitchen Ideas

Reply to: I agree that to lighten the room visually will make a huge difference Timber is lovely to live with & it is very durable so don't dispose of any of it! The fine workmanship is obvious Replace the splash back tiles with large format pale tiles They will visually stretch the space A fine-particle terrazzo floor tile would add to the room - introducing a new texture The open shelving is making the room very busy Add doors with a fine perforated metal infill - stainless steel That would match with the refrigerator and the new range hood Remove the wall cupboard that you are using for glasses - light from the window will penetrate the room and add needed light Paint the walls in a pale colour that compliments the timber and picks up on the flooring As I write this I realise my ideas have an Industrial edge - does that resonate with the rest of your home? Let us know what you decide These photos show some of the ideas I have mentioned (Can't find one that is JUST like yours )

Reply to: I’d preserve the kitchen that cabinets have served you so well but lighten it up with new tiles/splashback and flooring, repaint the walls declutter the overhead shelving or replace them with overhead cabinets or open shelves that compliment what you have. The timber and craftsmanship is lovely and it would cost a small fortune to replace with similar quality.

Reply to: What a great kitchen, I actually love the design of the kitchen shelves they add personality. New Stainless Range Hood that has a flat stainless panel between the cabinets and up to the ceiling. New Splash back as per the large concrete tiles photo White walls You could have the cabinets painted? but not necessary New concrete look bench top on Island, keep that timber top to use else where, New flooring perhaps similar to the herring bone pattern, Good luck
