Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Dec 31, 2011 1:56 pm Hi all! I am so stuck on my kitchen island bench, and was wondering could someone out there please help me? The photos below show the kitchen and bench. The part that is currently painted brown (bench) I am wanting to tile (or something), but I'm soooo stuck on colour. I was thinking maybe a pretty foil square tile all over (there will be a small L shaped couch and coffee table going in front of it, as the part behind is the games room), and then the same foil tile in a single row above the current black tiles on splashback - then fill the rest of the splashback in with the black (and wish I had left that splashback blank now, because I've seen some beautiful tiles out there, but now I'm limited by the square black grr). We have a rangehood going in above the stovetop, it's a SS & glass arch shape. Also, we will put some a cookbook shelf and small wine "X" style rack (maybe just enough for 12 bottles) above the fridge. I think I'd also like a shelf above the microwave, it seems a waste of space up there. The silver foil tile I have in mind I did see on a forum a few months back, and saved it - but that computer died and I can't seem to find it again But, would silver even work with my benchtop? It seems to look great with the Stainless Steel - but SS is a completely different colour to bright silver. If anyone has some design ideas, colour schemes etc, I would be most appreciative of your help I don't really have a set colour scheme for the rest of the room - it's our kitchen/dining/games room area. I want to have black and white photos along the entire wall to the right of the pool table, and that's about all I've decided on so far.

It looks like a bit space at the moment, but once the r/hood and over heads are in, you might have a different idea of what you want to achieve. You said you were not very happy with the black tiles so I would remove them and start again. With the tiles that you like then choose a complementary colour for the front of your island bench. hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Our Bondi Greenwall was impressive from day one with advanced lush plants to provide a wow factor to this recently renovated living area.
