Kitchen Splashback Ideas, please
Comments (43)You can always go with textured glass or slump glass,it has a more rustic look and doesn't look so modern as plain glass, it's much easier to keep clean too as it doesn't streak and there is no grout...we have a very traditional kitchen and it looks amazing,this is my laundry and is actually quite a vibrant purple with dragonflies on it because,in the laundry,why not? The kitchen is more nuetral.........See MorePOLL: Would you go black?
Comments (32)I love using dark colours in the right places and in truth, there really isn't a colour that is true black - that would be a none colour and one that can only be truly matched and equalled by its exact equal and opposite (white) for balance and a striking visual effect - like in this kitchen where plenty of natural light streamed in. When I design my colour palettes using "black" there is always an undertone of another colour to contrast or blend (like in the picture you featured here of the formal room at Rothesay). At Rothesay I used a prominent magenta and blue base amongst 8 other pigments which is why it appears to have a rich depth and acts to highlight the ornate ceiling that we painted in Aalto Gallery white. The trims give it contrast but the complexity of colour reflects and absorbs the red accents in the room. In Feng Shui "black" represents water and can be used in the South area of your home (on this side of the hemisphere) - this can be a particularly soothing effect. I used a near black with a brown/aubergine undertone in this bedroom that was once the place of non sleep and now definitely the opposite is in effect. I love using a base colour in my blacks to punctuate bright colours and jewel like tones - it feeds the soul! After all no adventure can be had by playing it safe - right?...See MorePOLL: Is renovating with your partner fun or frustrating?
Comments (27)We discuss and plan everything for months before we start. We don't even get quotes until we have planned out what we want, worked out fall back/cheaper options, and priced what materials we can. We project manage together, physically do whatever we can to reduce costs e.g.. some demo, all of the painting, buy the tiles/taps/handles etc and pick them up, daily clean-up. We will be doing the kitchen in about 12 months and are already planning, talking to kitchen designers, looking at appliances, figuring out if we can get the finishes we want or need a backup design. Once we can see final costs/ quotes we will choose the finishes we are willing to pay for. This may involve trading off a preferred benchtop for a preferred appliance, bespoke colour for a standard colour. The important thing is that we discuss everything in detail until we agree. This sometimes involves give and take. When one feels strongly about something, we trade with the other to give them something they feel strongly about. We have very similar tastes and senses of colour and design, which helps enormously,...See MorePoll: bath tub or no bath tub in small bathroom?
Comments (12)Hi, unless you take a bath at least once a week I'd skip the tub. I'd rather enjoy a bigger walk in shower, which is also a lot safer than climbing into a tub to shower. If you have the space instead of a tub and shower I'd consider a double vanity to give you extra storage space. It's a little luxury you will come to enjoy when everyone is getting ready on the morning....See MoreCraftsman Timber Frame Ltd.
