We have a glass rangehood similar to Futuro Futuro's Acqualina Glass product and I love it. The top and bottom of the glass gets given a clean about once a week with citrus multi-purpose cleaning spray and then wiped down with a moistened glass cleaning cloth for a pristine finish. Takes around 5 minutes in total. Cleaning the brushed stainless part is more difficult. As mentioned previously, its hard to remove all the marks. Will definately try the WD40. Me, personally, I don't like the mirrored finish. Given the window is acting as the "splashback" I would have gone for something invisible like what Sheryl Horton showed.

Thankyou Chookchook2 for recommendations. Clear chairs can work. I have recently painted apartment white. Would like to keep furniture light. I like woods idea too. I am worried the room will feel smaller with velvet grey stud chairs... Thankyou both for your comments. :) I'll let you know what I decide.

Yes they do look like a mirror & the TV looks normal when on. Just choose your own frame, some profiles are suitable & others are not. The framer will advise you what will work. I have owned a picture framing shop in the past. Try to find a shop that has one set up as an example.

Thank you so much everyone for all the fantastic ideas. I'm glad I posted here. Your pictures all look amazing too. I never considered a mirrored cabinet at first - I didn't think they looked as sophisticated! But the drawers just don't provide enough storage and I think I will go with that - it will satisfy my desire for a large mirror too! I love the "round the corner" idea for getting a good view of my hair dos! Thanks again everyone :-)
