How funny. I just renovated (on a budget) my small kitchen and added exactly the slate look in tiles you have, though they are in fact porcelain. And I placed them throughout the house for continuity. The tiler asked if I was after a retro hippy look but it doesn't look like that at all. My cupboards were the same colour as yours and I utilised the bones of the kitchen and had the doors and Benchtops changed only. I also have plenty of light in the kitchen but chose white doors and as I was on a budget I chose granite look Benchtops, they are very serviceable and it looks great. The blue backsplash was the colour lift and here you could choose any colour to your liking. Basically the kitchen ended up with white cupboards and appliances other than cooktop, with the stainless cooktop and coloured splash back being the focal point. The paint colour are: whisper white walls, integra splashback, white ceiling and for increased contrast I used the same white above the splashback on the rear wall. I would consider painting out the brick but leaving the texture.

Hi Tanya. Very nice colour scheme you have going on there. I think you could easily use one tile in bathrooms and another in hallways, kitchen, etc. as the hues of both appear very similar. Is the bathroom tile also to be used in laundry? You could also have a colourful rug in your kitchen to warm it up if you think the tone of tiles are too cool. Keep us posted what you decide.

haha! Go with your gut kaz :) I think some tilers can offer great suggestions - personally, I didn't have a very good experience with our last tiler so we ended up paying him for work done - only to have the job completed by someone else. The first tiler was very unprofessional, condescending, rude and belittled my hubby's choice of tile, grout, layout - you name it, everything. He was very moody, hot headed and showed up hungover and vomiting off our deck - UGH!!! Fifty shades of gross!!!! I didn't think it quite right that my young son and I should have to walk around on eggshells around him while my hubby was working away in Brisbane so in the end, he was paid - we said thanks and goodbye. To save any kerfuffle this end - we never told him what the issue was - just that something cropped up for us - we didn't need the drama. The tiler that finished the job for us was lovely, professional, competent and gave great suggestions :) Couldn't have asked for better. Hopefully that's not the feeling you're getting from your tiler - but if you have any red flags going up - go with someone else :) I'd love to see photos once the job is done :) Hopefully one of the pro's will come on here and offer their opinion kaz so you can be sure :)

When it comes to kitchen design for a ranch house renovation, you may want to consider the following factors: Space and layout: Ranch houses typically have an open floor plan, so you can create a kitchen that flows seamlessly with the surrounding living areas. Consider the space available and the placement of windows and doors when deciding on the layout of your kitchen. Style: Ranch houses often have a mid-century modern or rustic aesthetic, so incorporate these design elements into your kitchen renovation. For example, you could use warm wood tones, clean lines, and vintage-inspired fixtures to create a timeless and inviting space. Storage: Adequate storage is essential in any kitchen, but it's especially crucial in a ranch house where storage space may be limited. Consider incorporating cabinets, shelves, and other storage solutions that maximize the available space without overwhelming the room. Lighting: Good lighting is essential in any kitchen, but it's particularly important in a ranch house where natural light may be limited. Consider incorporating a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Ultimately, the best kitchen design option for your ranch house renovation will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Consider working with a professional designer or architect to help create a space that meets your functional and aesthetic goals. You can contact house tiling services Sydney.
