Yay or Nay? Mirrored splashbacks
Comments (48)There's just me living in this space. In the 4mths I've lived here so far I haven't had to clean the tiles on back wall but it is dark so maybe I can't see the mess. As for the sink area there's water splashes always on the tiles. The kitchen designer advised me against using the mirror here for that reason....See MoreNeed help with choosing which mirror for a kitchen splashback
Comments (5)Hi, Neither is right or wrong. They just give a different look. If using a mirror I would choose the smoked. It looks classier and and I think it looks higher end/quality. It is also a softer version of the bottom colour and connects the upper and lower colours around the white. Cheers...See MoreWhite Kitchen - Splashback and Benchtop Colour
Comments (7)Hi Sofia, the latest trend is that all white kitchens are on the out, so breaking up the colour scheme is and introducing natural elements, which is now the trend, is bang on. Well done. A natural style includes natural materials and colours. The thing is what sort of natural. This comes back to your style. What is it? Natural rainforest feel, desert, beach? If you think of your home in this light, it helps you to choose the right direction through textures that you can then take throughout your home to streamline it and increase it's appeal. In decorating we also look for opportunities to add contrast, so I see nothing wrong with a dark bench but here's the other lesson! Uniting your colours is vital. You have a timber look floor and a grey splashback - they are different. They need to be merged. Merge them in your benchtop with a Ceasarstone (which is worth every penny you put into it for the resale of your home). Something like this one: http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/6270-atlantic-salt ...Which isn't too dark, has a gorgeous contrasting texture and yet the timber and spalshback hues. Wallpapers are in big time and have been for a while and are not going out. Try picking out a major wall here and there and hanging a textured or a natural themed wallpaper ie leaves pattern, depending on the style, in a natural colour palette to match your floor. The whites, greys, blacks are neutrals - which go with anything. Compliment the colour scheme with Green which is a receding colour and will create the illusion of more space in a small space, and you'll have a natural style and theme. Lastly, again, depending on your style and theme, you'll need art to confirm exactly what these are. I am a customised artwork specialist. Your artwork again, will unite all your colours and create a focal point for the space... and so very much more. Have fun!...See MoreSplashback help - mirror or grey?
Comments (8)Are you thinking a solid grey acrylic splash back or smooth metal finish? I think mirror would get my vote over both of those.... although cleaning may become an issue for you? I think the stone for both countertop and splash back gets my vote too :) Beautiful. Check out some of the Houzz articles/stories on splash backs.... great advice and inspiration pics that may help with your decision....See Morepazza_italiana78
