Kitchen bench top finish: matt or polished?
Comments (12)Okay, so as expected the matt suede surface is more expensive, not sure how much yet but when the builder says price on application, I can imagine it will be a fair bit more. Anyway, we'll see but something to take into consideration I guess... In the meantime, I was going through my idea books and found the photo below, which I kind of forgot about but is one of my absolute favourite kitchens... the point is just like the photo, we too will have a wall cabinet in matt black, the back of the island in matt black and oak floor boards in a natural/textured matt finish... so now I'm thinking maybe too many matt surfaces, interestingly they have gone with a polished stone top which I think is reflecting the light nicely... Our floors......See MoreTiled kitchen splashback advice
Comments (14)My two cents worth would be to extend the tiles to cover everything below the canopy of the extractor (could go higher but that would be the minimum) and use that as your level on the other wall. So you ignore the curved glass (I assume that that's kind of the point of being transparent) and go with the straight edges of the tiles. You certainly wouldn't want a funny little segment of painted wall below the curved glass – it will look awkward and be very difficult to keep clean. My remaining concern is – have you already installed the rangehood or can it be easily taken back down to allow the tiler to do a really good, neat job and then the rangehood can be installed nice and tight against the tiles?...See MoreNew kitchen - height of Splashback
Comments (6)Hi Kath, Height of splashback depends on a few things, will you have overhead cupboards? if yes then they need to be 600mm above your finished benchtop. If you don't have overhead cupboards and only the rangehood I suggest you go at a minimum to the bottom of the rangehood. If you want to make that wall a feature have you considered taking the splashback all the way to the ceiling? It could look spectacular....See MoreHelp me choose a splashback for a black-and-white kitchen
Comments (31)Depending on your taste of course, I would introduce some colour - either as tiles or a glass splashback. Personally I think you will need to fill the entire area otherwise there are simply more lines to take in and will create an unwanted feature. We've had a glass splashback painted back and it was super easy to clean. For one kitchen, we've gone for a bright yellow to give it some pop. You can also have photos too but it's not as easy as the file sizes mean that they need to be taken/supplied by a professional photographer. If tiles is your preference, there are many great patterned tiles out now. Good luck!...See More- last year

I have Spanish hand made tiles in my kitchen. The peninsula that joins wall has tiles 300mm high. They have grout along area which contacts wall. Then my painter, painted the top edge and side edge of tiles with the same colour as wall paint. Simple. You can’t paint caulking.

Example of your preferred timber option. Or painted timber moulding. Or as above, just paint the top of tile.
