Need help deciding on a splashback tile!!
Comments (10)You may have already made a decision on this but I thought I'd just weigh in with my thoughts anyway ... six months ago we finished fitting out a new kitchen and we are thrilled with both the look and the practicality of it all. Initially I was going to go down the glass splash back track but eventually I chose tiles because I decided that, for me, the seamless splash back was a bit bland and same same. I also love blue, brown and white as a palette – and the tiles I chose were just slightly wonky (not too crazy – they still had to be easy to wipe over etc), rectangular, hand-made Spanish tiles in a lovely duck-egg blue. The slight wonkiness means they catch the light beautifully as you move around the room. The benches and cupboards are a warm white and the large island bench is a fantastic slab of spotted gum with another long piece of spotted gum on the upstand behind the sink. Behind the stove (which is the only place that the real concern about grotty grout really comes into play) we have a stainless steel splash back going up to the rangehood. Not sure if this helps but I am thrilled with my kitchen and have no regrets about going with interesting tiles....See MoreCan you help me decide between these two stools?
Comments (29)I agree with all the comments about back rests and white stools getting dirty easily. My friend was devastated when her guest sat on her brand new white chair with jeans and the indigo dye from her jeans stained the chair forever. I’d also be wary that the white you choose for your stool blends with the white of your kitchen. From memory, your kitchen and bench tops are a warm white. The stark white of those stools could be jarring to the eye. Just saying.......See MoreHelp me decide please
Comments (1)Hi Kim, I think that Laminate flooring would best suit your needs. It is a super realistic wood-look floor that is scratch and fade-resistant. It has bevels (the definition you normally see between hardwood planks) and has the texture of real wood- so you won't have to worry about it looking "fake." There are also water-repellent ranges out there which are suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries. You can see our ranges here: https://www.forteflooring.co.nz/product/catalogue/laminate-flooring We do not recommend bamboo, however, if you are looking for a cost-effective hardwood, our Urban Plank range would be perfect for you. It is engineered and has a thinner wear layer which makes it more cost-effective, however, it can still be sanded back 1-2 times if need be: https://www.forteflooring.co.nz/product/catalogue/engineered-wood-flooring Thanks Kim, let us know if you have any more questions :) - The forté Team...See MorePlease help me decide on what colour for my bathroom vanity!
Comments (6)Thanks everyone. Nik Star I did get some colour swatches for navy, but then didn't have the courage to go ahead. Think I will have to just be content with some navy towels....See Moresiriuskey
