¿Sillas iguales o distintas?
(5) comentariosHola Anna Sería bueno tener una pareja de sillas iguales (con el mismo color y diseño) Si no es el caso, pintar cada una de un color puede ser divertido. Tendrías un estilo ecléctico y colorido, ideal para el verano y primavera. Yo la pintaría de blanco o gris. Y utilizaría cojines con el mismo estampado para "unir y armonizar" el conjunto entero. A ser posible, intenta que ese estampado tenga el resto de colores que mencionas. espero haberte ayudado, un saludo...Ver másHELP COMEDOR
(20) comentariosMe hace gracia la condena a muerte que hace ARKITECTURAS - "holístico", como yo- a las sillas, por "demasiada personalidad". Yo soy partidario de no tirar jamás nada, mínimamente customizable o reciclable. Os puedo hacer lo que dice el compañero, pero seguro que lo hace perfecto. Se necesita plano del salón y detalles dimensionales de lo que ya hay. Lo que falta, puede ser de infinitas maneras. Por eso recomiendo a ITZIAR que no lo guarde, ni asuma todo. De momento dejaría a un lado, a los que no quieren otro color, que no sea blanco. Sin color, el interiorismo se queda en nada y se puede uno divertir lo necesario y recomendable, siendo ciego. Para mi el blanco es a la vista, lo que el silencio es al oido. Por suerte viene la luz y hace sombras, con lo cual aparece una maravillosa gama de grises, interesantísima... Solo hay una cosa peor: Ser vegetariano, vegano, higienista o macrobiótico. Tienes un caso de premio, para para fotos de un ANTES y un DESPUES. El tema televisión no es grave y me sé muchas maneras de solventarlo. Desde comprarse otra, hasta ver la única, gracias a un espejo bien situado. Leer del revés, previene el Alzheimer. La clave está en una sabía elección de COLORES textiles, alfombras incluidas y en la forma de iluminar. Lo que tienes, merece el derecho a vivir, aunque sea rehabilitado. Si tiras tus sillas, me avisas con tiempo, a donde las vas a tirar. Lo que tienes que buscar, para completar un salón de revista, te lo diria una vez condicionadas sus medidas. Lo único merecedor de la máxima pena, es la "información parásita", por inconcreta, utópica o desajustada y claramente emitida, por desconocedores, que se autoconsideran suficientemente ilustrados y creen saberlo todo. Einstein dijo que "lo que hay que saber es un óceano y lo que sabemos, es sólo una gota". No es literal. Si vas a poner MI INFORMACION en una gran sopa, veo y callo. Para distender el ambiente, que pudiera enrrarecerse, pongo un modelo de mesita meona y una niña amiga de un semanario triste, por faltarle dos cAjones....Ver másNecesito ayuda en mi cocina
(7) comentariosHola, como profesional de iluminación te aconsejaría que redujeras el número de lámparas colgantes, tienes diferentes fuentes de luz en un sólo espacio y da la sensación que ninguna ilumina lo suficiente. La luz en la cocina es imprescindible, sin renunciar al color cálido puedes optar por luminarias de mayor rendimiento lumínico, luego puedes dejar una o dos a modo decorativo encima de la barra pero el resto empotrado. Es cierto que hay demasiados colores oscuros, el suelo se ve nuevo pero quizás un gres porcelanico en color claro te ayudaría a dar un toque actual, el color vino creo que no te favorece con el resto de tonos, se vería todo muy oscuro. Paredes en color gris o beige claro similar al suelo que pongas....Ver másFoyer needing help!
(3) comentariosHi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin...Ver más
hace 8 añosÚltima modificación: hace 8 añosGreat advice so far. I am looking into quartz counters - so not an expert on granite. I noticed the shelf. I was wondering if it used to be a microwave shelf. I used a kit to convert mine into a plate rail and as it was rather large I was able to put some spice boxes in too - I think your space may be smaller. I lined the space with a "beadboard" type material to cover the melamine interior. Just thought I'd pass along the idea:)
Even if you can't take the blinds down, consider a faux roman shade or tie up shad to hide them during the day. Real roman shades would give the privacy without the blinds.
hace 8 añosIs this the counter you are thinking of?
Are you going to do a backsplash as well?
hace 8 años- hace 8 añosÚltima modificación: hace 8 años
Can you provide photos of the rest of your space so that you can get advice that coordinates paint colors throughout? I'm seeing dark gray on the soffits but tan on the backsplash. Is that right? If so, just coordinating paint will harmonize the space.
Keep your granite as light as possible. Here's a kitchen with the Caledonia granite you've decided on. Note how the backsplash really lightens and finishes the look:
Yes to a beautiful light fixture over your island. And let's see the other side of the room so it all hangs together.

Beige Autumn Granite Countertop. Pick the counter 1st. then we can figure out the backsplash.

PROhace 8 añosColonial Gold Granite goes really nicely with Golden cabinets. It also have a hint of black that will help tie in the black appliances. Add a biscuit sink for a seamless look and add a black faucet and black hardware to the cabinets.
hace 8 añosSome inspiration, I wonder what it would look like to paint island an off white, or perhaps take off cabinet doors by where microwave should be and have some open shelving. Nice roman blinds and light fittings, should bring kitchen up to date, good potential

Here is a blog post from someone who replaced a light similar to yours:
http://texasdecor.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-new-kitchen-light.html
Here are a few picks of how people have dealt with having a florescent light box. You don't appear to have one of those, but they do show some possible ways of dealing with the ceiling without redoing the whole thing should you find a large area to repair under the light you have. These pictures are for the ceiling - I don't have an opinion on the various light fixtures they chose.
If you google "replacing fluorescent light fixture in kitchen" you will see more ideas.

This one is 450 Watts so lots of light

- hace 8 añosI love that fixture rawketgrl!! Jhmarie that's great info and very helpful! I'm not excited about patching and "fixing" our ceiling because it's got designs or texture to it!
hace 8 añosYou could change the lighting panel (budget friendly) and buy a decorative one. Skypanels has some nice ones. Not only does it diffuse the light, it makes it look updated.
But obviously, it would just be one panel. Check it out! They have other panels to choose from.
- hace 8 añosOk we finally went in and looked. Here is what we are leaning towards for counters and backsplash. Honest options please! I loved the lighter colors but they were more than we wanted to spend. This isn't our forever home.

I am concerned about dark granite in your kitchen. I would consider other counter options so you can get a lighter color you can afford. Like a higher end wilson art. If you are really sold on the granite above then please invest in amazing under cabinet lights and pick a light colored simple backsplash.
PROhace 8 añosYou could take a couple of your cabinet doors to a carpenter shop and have them remove the raised panel. Then you could take to a glass shop and have clear or obscure glass installed into the center.

- hace 8 añosI am not dead set on that selection yet. I am going in today with our floor sample and a cupboard door. I did take another picture of my kitchen with the lights above the sink on. I usually always have them on in there but I realize the first picture I took didn't have them on. I don't feel it's too dark in there especially with the sink lights on. As for the Caledonia, I am having a hard time with that selection and our cabinets. Our cabinets are warm and I feel like that selection is cool. I will compare with our cabinet and floor today though and see.

hace 8 añosÚltima modificación: hace 8 añosThe light will be over the cooktop so will get somewhat dirtied so I would just skip a fixture and install a set of three pot lights over the cooktop with led lighting for the best brightness and they never burn out. An electrician will have to do this unless you are handy at basic wiring but it will open up the kitchen. JHMarie above has a cool post about how it could look. Rawketgrl does too. But if you were to do that then a very pretty small chandy over the sind and puck lights under the counters to show off the new granite and backsplash.
Light over sink and woven Roman shade at window!

Contemporary Kitchen · Más información- hace 8 añosWell here we go. The first two pictures are of the tan brown with our cabinets and floor. The second is Caledonia with our cabinets and floor. I looked at a couple golden granites and I feel like they really yellow my cabinets.

- hace 8 añosYou've been so helpful through this! Thanks for listening to my ramblings and "talking it out." I found an app that allows me to visualize things better. Check out the pictures. Using the tan brown and Caledonia! Those are the closest cabinet and floor colors to mine. I even did the last one as if I were going to stain my cabinets. I had that thought early on but tossed it out! Looks good!

- hace 6 añosJust thought I'd update everyone. Here's the granite we went with. It's been a year and a half I think? Also, we just updated the blinds finally and it looks much better! Last thing...the light. I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Can lights are not an option right now. It is the main source of light in the kitchen area. Suggestions?
