Hi all,
Part of my house plans is a galley style kitchen. One side is very long island and other side is against wall between kitchen and rumpus room. With this side, I was planning a window cutout in the wall so I could see into the rumpus and this would start about 200mm above the benchtop.
Because the window goes most of the length of the wall, makes a splashback impossible so was thinking of sink on the wall and stove on the island. But my wife has fell in love with a freestanding cooker which really would not go well on an island.
So my question is, how wierd do you think it would look if there was no splashback behind cooker (will be buying one with an induction cooktop) except for the 200mm up to the window space (which I can tile or do something to deal with some mess)?
Would this be a bad idea. I remember when I lived in my dingy little flat and they just had a cheap freestanding cooker in the corner against the walls and splashes there did not seem like a massive problem.
