Need help! - Kitchen Remodel

We're finally changing up our kitchen. I'm having trouble picking a backsplash. I'd like to go with something that will appeal to everyone since this will eventually be a rental home. What backsplash would you recommend? We are keping the cabinets and countertops.

also definitely replacing the microwave and would also like to get rid of the small fan and maybe add a pendant light over the sink? any suggestions?

I really like your cabinets and flooring. Is the paint color staying? It currently reads as a pale lavender. Maybe consider adjusting your lighting to be 3000-4000K for a more natural light.

To go super neutral you could just choose a tile with the white/cream of your counters and tops but in an interesting shape or pattern. Another option is a single color... are there other colors in the space? Handmade tiles often have a nice variation but still read as one color (this is ours in a minty color).

Would definitely switch out the fixture for something else but I don't think a pendant over the kitchen sink is a great idea. It's good you have the light but something dangling would make access to the garden window and dishes more complicated.

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000
Q

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

The type of window, as well as the orientation of the room, are determining factors when choosing curtains. It is also important to consider the light we need in this space as well as the degree of privacy we want. The curtains help to dress anywhere so it is so important that you dedicate time to your choice and we help you in that. ☎️305-699-5589 Free Consultation www.artecblinds.com @artecblinds #blinds #windowtreatments #blackoutcurtains #curtains #interiordesign #interior_and_living #interiordesigner #decor #design #housedesign #homestyle #house #housedecor #homedecor #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhomes #styleathome #apartmentdecor #innovation #remodeling #renovation #roominspiration #roomdecor #love #beautiful #instagood #brickell #miami #realestate #generalcontractors

In this dissertation, we are warned that to renovate a house, so that everyone sarisfecho sits down, it is enough to make some partial feforms and maintain everything that contributes to the personality of the home. If we make such a total change, affecting everything previously existing, it is clear that our home, we cannot feel it easily like ours.

hi GESTION ESTETICA If you click 'edit' on the page I sent, it displays the distance in centimeters when editing the room dimensions. The closets and furniture shown in image 1 are exactly how my room is, both in dimensions and placement, right now. I plan to remodel it later, like in the second image or a different one that's more organized, as I see fit or as you may suggest.

If that's kind of how you roll, then it's easy to just choose a plain white or off-white. I personally have trouble mixing my whites and off-whites, but there was a post recently where there was a lot of layering of white and cream and it worked. Then later a renter can accessorize with color. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5726288/countertops-too-white-for-cabinets

First get some proper lighting the cheapest would be just an LED track light with 5heads 4000K bulbs and just change the bulb over the sink to the same.Something like this for the track so you can get light in the most places I agree a simple subwaytile if you must change the backsplash .

I would definitely NOT pick the plain subway. Too much of the same with those glass front cabinets. I like your first one personally but I would not do such a dark grout. Light grey or very similar to tile.

I would go with a backsplash that would somewhat match the flooring. Maybe Big Styx Woodvein, Athens Gray, White Thassos marble tile combination, or Calacatta Gold for a more classic and lighter look. In any case, I think simple white subway tile would look flat with your white cabinets.

Fan diameter seems too small. A long oriental-patterned runner along the cabinets would help.

Have you thought about quartz slab for backsplash? Not sure what your countertop is but you can go with white, just like your countertop or add color that would correspond with the floor, maybe something like Caesarstone Taj Royal. Caring for and cleaning quartz is so easy, no grouts.

I would go with black marble ..and change the fan/ lamp ...to a fun unusual chandelier ...or place some spot lights around the kitchen to light up the countertop and get a white larger fan .., make it simple for renters ...! Or leave as is . The blue backsplash to my eye is not attractive , but it wouldn't bother me if I just rented it for a year ..if it's clean ...

We might go with a white subway tile. It is a simple, clean look, and also will go with a lot of different wall colors.

What about marble/marble look tile? It is a timeless classic that make everything look good. Carrara

Angela, I like your second tile choice best, followed by your first. Any of the three would work in your kitchen, I just think the subway is too boring. Make sure you get samples before buying any tile to make sure that the whites look good with the whites you already have in your kitchen.

Upon looking again at your original photo the flooring is knotty and rustic looking. And white shaker cabinets. Maybe you should look into some tile that compliments both. You could go down the vintage industrial vibe for the lighting. Or modern farmhouse. The trend for the masses (good for rental). Warm tone marbles. I think it needs some warm tones to balance the stark white and stainless appliances. But that could be a lighting problem in the photo. Another commentator advised about lighting. Good lighting is a must

thanks for all your suggestions! i decided on the longer subway tile with a dark grey grout. After seeing the other tiles in person, they were smaller than i thought and I was worried it'd look too busy with the grout. I'm switching the hardware to a darker color.

I'd like to change the light to a smaller wood style chandelier with 3 or 4 lightbulbs, still trying to find the right one. If anyone has any suggestions, would appreciate it.

I love subway (they are white, right?) tile with medium to dark gray grout. It is timeless. Fifty years or more ago grout was the color of cement and that was the only option. So it is a vintage classic look. It balanced out the more modern elements. I think you will not question your choice.
