Hi elinitha, this will be the laminex impression decor 'weathered oak' which has both visual (white ingrained) and tactile texture. It will be used horizontally in a beach house. This colour I would recommend your timber feature also, as it looks natural, as in no staining or lacquered aesthetic, and as a finished product, no maintenance, fading and is more durable than a genuine timber product.

The table might already be sealed. If not, you may like to follow this current thread. https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/marble-sealer-which-one-to-use-dsvw-vd~4016508?n=3 Could you have a low-iron glass top made to sit on the marble? I don't thing the legs and braces on your chairs would look too busy. On your dark floors, the braces recede.

I love our glass splash back. We choose an electric blue as the rest of our kitchen has a lot of timber, white and windows. Easy to keep clean, withstands the heat of the stove and you can choose any colour you like. you can even match it with an existing wall colour if you wanted to. The aluminium one sounds good, but I think that in our climate with salty air and a lot of moisture it would show corrosion spots very quickly. macymacmaples, I agree that there are a lot of choices for tile, but the 'easy to replace' comment doesn't really make sense to me. Then again, I have no idea how easy it would be to replace our splash back, which is wedged between the overhead cupboards and the benchtop - I still love it though, even after 10 years!!!

Looks like a different box of tiles was used in the shower area and around the outside of the shower. The different colour seems to finish quite crisply at a whole tile, indicating it’s the tile. If the fault was the spray it would spread across tiles.
