Hi, To personnalise your kitchen , it's a good idea to use concrete tiles, they will bring something special into your kitchen.Take a look at Bourkshire.

Ok so depending on floor colours and overall look that she is going for I think (if she is really adamant) that the blue could work if you change the Amaro cabinets to a whiter shade - this will give it an overall crisp, oceanside feel with the warmth of the soft walnut. Otherwise I would contrast it more with a mid-tone colour splashback in grey/brown tones. Again this totally depends of her tastes... Here's a photo that you could show her with the blue splashback - granted it is a little deeper than her selection but at least she can see it on a realistic scale and of course the timber/white cabinets are flipped in this one. Hope some of that helps!

Hi Val, Your house has beautiful timber floors and Cornices to work with and the kitchen even though very good quality has limited storage from what we can see in the photo hence my suggestion to change the glass to allow for better storage. You could add extra shelves and use as pantry space. A long light similar to the one in the photo could look good, you can get them a bit shorter as well, check out the splash of colour in the stools, New York Bar style. Can we see a photo of what's opposite the kitchen. Have you had any quotes to have the kitchen painted and what do you think you could sell it for. I say this because even though it is a high quality kitchen from the 80's they don't necessarily function very well. cheers

Your kitchen is small and already quite busy. I would make it as simple and clean as possible. You can't beat ceramic tiles for cost, durability and ease of installation. Have a look at Johnson's Spectrum range to see if you can match the green. https://www.johnsontiles.com.au/product/spectrum/?utm_campaign=1602072422&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=304640004469&utm_term=&adgroupid=61761480198&gclid=CjwKCAjw_YPnBRBREiwAIP6TJ0idAicM8vfEevC-WrwRVNmbtUPHfDAjvNpkaOIo0hzN0dwMw9u1rxoC0VkQAvD_BwE You will get a neater finish with ceramic tiles than you will with trying to work with DIY stainless steel, particularly around the edges. There are lots of online resources to show how easy it is to lay smaller ceramic tiles. Leave the large format porcelain tiles to the professionals. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
