Personally, I'd go with the grey glass splashback because I'm a fan of a more subdued colour scheme. BUT, from the information provided, particularly your collection of red kitchen appliances and the colours selected for your pendants and bar stools, I think the mosaic tiles would suit your personal style more. And the remainder of your kitchen is fairly neutral. The only minor issue is that with mosaic tiles, there is more grout. This will mean that you'll have to keep the splashback clean, especially around the stove area, in order to keep the grout looking nice.

Hi Sophie, I immediately agree with the suggestion to remove the angled/chamfered wall to the bedroom entry and create a small lobby, although a good alternative is to consider a straight-run stair and adding a corridor wall to create a 'private' zone - then toilet can stay where it is, tucked in under stair, and privacy (and acoustic/smell separation to the toilet) is created for living and master bedroom. This might mean widening the kitchen room by 100mm or so (noting some reductions mentioned below) and mirroring the bathroom/rumpus arrangement upstairs - it does create a bit more circulation but adds a lovely sense of space when don't have your main circulation through the middle of a room. The laundry pantry is not the usual arrangement - and the distance needed to travel to the linen cupboard is excessive. I would definitely flip the arrangement of laundry /pantry and try to turn the linen into some kind of study nook off the new corridor - and get rid of the tiny desk near the front door!! Imagine that lovely living space with light coming in from the porch which is facing north. That brings up the final comment that north is where the garage is and the main kitchen is therefore south-east facing, this is fine for morning but it is darker for the afternoons. This is a bit harder to change, but the kitchen could be reworked to turn through 90 degrees to face the garden but extend across to the west facade to allow afternoon light in. The nook could be deleted (which blocks afternoon light to deck) and the deck could extend or wrap around the corner for afternoon light. A little corner of deck in the afternoon sun you would never regret! Your draftie designer would need to look at this in detail as the west external wall would might need to shift inwards and south widen into garden, but if afternoon light is important to you then I would encourage you to consider this change too.

Hi Sheila What a great space! We see something a little more architectural for your kitchen.. given that you are having that amazing timber ceiling.. You could honestly have either tiles or timber.. but for a good compromise between the two, dont discount vinyl plank! It is virtually indestructible, water proof, great underfoot, and looks just like the real thing! Maybe steer away from the mirror under the breakfast bar.. not totally practical, and would drive you mad cleaning it! But you could use mirror as a splashback.. Heres a pic of what we see when we visualize your space.. Our Bodo suggested board for you is the Lavish Board, similar ply woods, a little hint of black, and truly unique..After all, you dont want to create a generic kitchen that you see in every second house! https://www.bodoboards.com.au/collections/kitchen/products/lavish-kitchen Our concept boards provide a shopping list of everything you will need to bring the look together, including options of both timber and tiled flooring :) paint scheme, and differing budget options We would love to see your project in completion.. so be sure to send a pic! Good luck from the team at Bodo :)

There are so many options today on flooring. Engineered timber products, bamboo, solid timber overlay, timber look tiles... What is important to know first is what you are laying over, how solid is it, how level is it, how even is it? Given that you have a number of different top finishes, it sounds like you may have different sub floor structures. Whatever you go for will be determined by how stable the substrate is and what structures you are laying over.
