Comments (43)You can always go with textured glass or slump glass,it has a more rustic look and doesn't look so modern as plain glass, it's much easier to keep clean too as it doesn't streak and there is no grout...we have a very traditional kitchen and it looks amazing,this is my laundry and is actually quite a vibrant purple with dragonflies on it because,in the laundry,why not? The kitchen is more nuetral.........See MoreWhat type of kitchen to fill this space?
Comments (5)if you are to install a whole new kitchen youl should go all in on what you like. I think combinding a modern kitchen with more old, classic rustick asscesorise/Udecor, would look great. I think a soft brown modern kitchen would look great with the floors you have. a black kitchen would also look great, no matter what i would chose a light counter top. Iwould not place the frige on the right next to the chimny/stove. I. would install cabinets and shelves. I would add a backsplash inside the chimney....See Morelighting choice, tile design, grout colour?

You could take the tiles up higher immediately behind the hotplates, the range hood would then tie it all together and you could even have some nice artwork each side of it. The only concern I have - are the 2 tiles in the second row centred over your hotplates? Fine if they are as you will have that high part nice and even. If not, I'd a have good think about it. Otherwise, assuming you will paint the walls in a semi gloss paint, the lower tiles will take the brunt of the oil and what goes on the walls will be pretty easy to wash off, it is just a matter of wiping it down after each cooking session. There are times to match things up and there are times to blend. With your downlights, keep to white (assuming you will paint your ceilings white). this way they tend to disappear into the ceiling...See MoreNancy Searle
