Need your opinions on kitchen tile choice – see photos
Kitchen almost done - what colour/type of tile do you think might look good in the backsplash area behind the red kettle? My look is natural and organic so nothing too glitzy but it still needs to pop a bit. New pendant lights and barstools also still pending so will need to blend in with the overall feel.

Wow!! Your kitchen is looking amazing, looks great since removing that bar hiding sink, were you able to fix holes ok, white glass or the new kitchen approved Perspex for a splash back would look fab or stainless alloy tiles would add a tiny bit of bling, stainless stools and pendants would add a stylish look, looking great, love the bench tops.

Comments (17)okie here's a thought.. your marble look will match your stainless..it doesn't mean your cupboards have to.. below is an example to illustrate my point .. I have a gold kitchen with stainless steel appliances ..it never occurred to me that I have to match my stainless steel in when you think of it that way it gives you more options more colours to choose from timber is another good one to break up your laminate .....See MoreWould love to see your reno ideas
Comments (16)Our house is similar, but we are empty nesters and down sized about 4 years ago, our needs would be a bit different to a growing family, we are currently in the throes of having two smaller rooms made into one area to further open up a previous renovation to give us a bigger open space..we also have an ensuite and a combined laundry / second laundry space. The good thing is that being a brick veneer house the reconfiguring is relatively easy with modern technology and big beams. As above try and have a big open space, we have been out of our home for a month now and still a way to go, add living away from home to your budget or stay with family. I will try and post the plan but here are a couple of journey pics ..the last photo was before trying to show how the two rooms decided the space making the living room very small and a bit dark...the aim of this project is to have space for a bigger gathering than about 4 people before overcrowded. Light is really important, nice big windows essential, the darkness of the living I thought I could live with, but it did get me down, I a, looking forward to having a much lighter space...See MoreBeach shack revamp - need opinions!!
Comments (20)Wow love some of those pics Siriuskey! Thank you for the ideas. I struggle with whether to keep walkways 'clear' in this house - for example the two doors either side of kitchen and the deck door all create these weird walkways. (See arrows on drawings) Is it a smart move to 'block' them with say a couch, or an island bench, or the dining table? (See random furniture placement in pictures showing these options) I have uploaded a drawing with the current walls that we propose removing in green highlighter and showing where the current front door is. As you can see it's a wasted space and strange detour past laundry toilet and storage! I have sketched what I think you mean by entry next to bed 3- would you leave a small office room to one side and create a hallway or leave open and place miners lounge against west wall. Am I interpreting it all as you imagined?!...See MoreNeed advice/opinions on height of kitchen cupboards to bulkhead ratio
Comments (11)Thanks for your help guys. The builder contacted us today during the installation of the ducted A/C and advised us that we have to drop the ceiling 200m to accomodate the ducts (unless we want a huge bulkhead across the kitchen/living area. SO the gorgeous high ceiling is (unfortunately) no longer an issue. It is really frustrating that they only just figured this out! :-/...See More- 7 years ago
7 years agoI spent the money on a glass splashback in silver and I love it. I got one of these pop up powerpoints from ebay and now don't have to wipe around the powerpoint on the wall. Just a quick google search and maybe something earthy like in these pics.

PRO7 years agoHi Wally,
How exciting the kitchen is coming together nicely!
I thought you might be interested in some of the tiles that I have uploaded in the following kitchens. they are a nice white, neutral colour but with a little bit of texture, it just adds that bit extra character.
If you're looking for more darker, bronze-like colours I have attached a few samples that we have in different sizes that you might be interested in too!All the best!

7 years agoThe opposite wall (behind stove) has a lickidy-lick-pink tempered glass, so I wanted something neutral behind this side. We tried paint, but it chipped too easily, until we found these (just after grouting).

Forgot to attach a photo. Can just see our white glass with sparkle splashback behind the pole (structural - and couldn't remove them in our reno). A different kitchen to yours but my philosphy is to keep it plain or white so as not to detract from your other feature which seems to be the metallic benchtops.
