Can't duct a rangehood. So, column splashback to ceiling?
Comments (4)conduit can sometimes be recessed into a brick wall and rendered over if you need an extra powerpoint or hidden inside wall cabinets for a built in rangehood but the other prob with range hoods is that they make so much noise and i'm not aware of any that completely removes cooking smells but i agree, unless there's some regulation that demands a rangehood, it's probably easier to clean the wall. The colour of the tiles is such a personal choice but for your kitchen i prefer the same white subway tiles for the splashback and the column as i think that the dark tiles would feel closed in up the side wall but, perhaps the subways could be laid vertically (200mm x 100mm subway?) around the benchtop and horizontally for the column with one vertically tile up the sides of the column and a tile trim around all the raw tile edges...then you have to decide if you like the horizontal tiles laid in a brick or stacked pattern or a quick look at "subway tiled splashback" on HOUZZ revealed these photos...good luck with it!...See MoreFeature column tiles ideas
Comments (4)Is that pic your actual place , or off a brochure ? The door is beautiful , the glass is great , I can't work out if the steps are polished concrete or marble , but basically it all looks classy ! And then that stacked stone looks like someone has run a picture through a black-and-white photocopier , and glued it on -- it looks fake ! Just a hint -- stacked stone doesn't have uniform crisp sharp corners -- and the grout lines should follow around corners too haha . Any sort of tiling may look as bad , or maybe better ; likewise powdercoated aluminium panels will look corporate ( not a good thing on a house IMO ) . If it was me , I wouldn't care if the 'allowance' was $60 -- I'd happily spend $6000 to go genuine ! It will make the whole place look better -- you only have 1 chance to make a first impression ! BTW -- is that $60 in total , or $60 a square metre -- neither will go far ? If budget really is that tight , how about just a plain render . Even thats probably more than $60 ! If thats all you can afford , so be it . But either at build time , or in future , if you have the $$$ , you could add 5 or 6 vertical 40mm x 40mm battens across the front of the column , same style and tone as the door , the full height ( maybe $600 ? ) and obviously referencing the door ....See MoreTile paint on ugly mosaic feature strips in bathrooms?
