I think that's why I like the black joinery idea; glare and all white may look too clinical and 'cold'. Our floors will be a mid to pale oak so should add visual warmth too. The slow build is great for refining plans....but sometimes you start doubting yourself too....and of course get frustrated with the process! I agree with you Johanne and Heidi that Matte is the prefered finish which might be the decider on material choice too.KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763689950705543241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375731844728833206.post-72971116837447006082015-02-27T16:47:25.888+11:002015-02-27T16:47:25.888+11:00Thanks so much.

The sink in the island is definitely the most practical option but I was concerned at all the mess that always seems to surround my sink, so wanted to put it in the back wall. I'm just going to have to do some serious 'training' to get used glasses etc...straight into the dishwasher!

I'd do the splash back in the same material as whatever you choose for the counter top then (marble? Caesar stone?). It's a small bit, and it would look better seamless and not sticking out and competing with the window. <br />I've seen a few black kitchens in real life and they look stunning! Just keep with the matte look though - no shine, and texture is even better if you can swing it. I think everyone wants to put in a white kitchen as they think it is 'safe'.. but it won't have a lot of impact the way a black one will. Glad my comment came through too.. not sure what's been happening lately?!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375731844728833206.post-86510447775607293682015-02-25T00:01:27.055+11:002015-02-25T00:01:27.055+11:00Black is very stylish so long as there is plenty o...Black is very stylish so long as there is plenty of light. Especially with those gorgeous floors in your inspiration pic. Your kitchen design looks excellent, and I'm in awe of your graphic skills! There are some benefits of a slow build, especially when you have such a compliant builder. You can really refine the plan as you go along. Plenty of time to visualise options. I'd go light for the splash back. Not sure exactly what, something matt??

I did consider mirror but (might not be obvious) is that most of the rear wall is a window and the only splashback there is will be concealed by the fridge housing joinery. Don't want to reflect that. We also have an abundance of light, hence my fear of a clinical white look...Can't thank you enough for your support of the black though, I so value your opinion Heidi and am glad your comment came through!

It will visually open up the space, give that seamless look you're after and bounce a bit more light around. <br />Love all the plans, and exciting that you've chosen some of the major bits and pieces and are inching closer to the finish line! xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.com
