Browse Forums Kitchen Splashbacks Re: Help with kitchen cupboards 6Jun 13, 2010 11:50 am We got quoted $900 for the laminate cupboards. four on the right hand side and 2 on the left. If we want the frosted glass then it will be an extra $200 per cupboard. We will be have a bulkhead attached and they have quoted us $200 and $250 for the flyover which is so the bulkhead runs straight across the rangehood. Do you think this is reasonable? l think we have decided to go for just laminex overhead cupboards. l think xquisite makes a good point about the frosted glass cabinets. It might look not give a textural contrast especially when we are planning to get a very light aqua splashback. The cupboards will just blend in with the splashback. Is there a reason why everyone would have went with the lighter overhead cupboards? l'm still unsure as to what colour to go for. If l go for the lighter cupboards then it will make the room look a little bigger. Though if l go for the darker cupboards it will match the bottom cupboards and make the other pantry and fridge wall stand out. Ugggghhh What to do?????? Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: Help with kitchen cupboards 7Jun 14, 2010 10:02 am I'm no expert on prices but your quote sounds reasonable - EXCEPT for the extra $200 for frosted doors. Sounds like someone has just put that in the too hard basket. Check how much the frosted glass doors at Ikea for an idea. It's a shame too, as I still think the frosted glass doors would be best. If you have chosen light aqua for the splashback go with the darker colour overheads. I'm not sure it would look as good against the oyster linea. See how you can't make a decision about one thing without it affecting the whiole look? Re: Help with kitchen cupboards 8Jun 14, 2010 12:14 pm Yes thats so true. Thats what makes it hard. Umm Maybe we should change the colour of the splashback. The problem is that there is so many choices. It all comes down to mixing and matching and getting the right combo. I was speaking to one of my friends and she said that l should get a glass infused splashback rather then one that is just painted on. l always thought splashbacks were all the same. l though you just choose the colour and they paint it on for you. Does anyone know the pros and cons of both types? Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: What colour splashback will go? 9Jun 23, 2010 12:45 pm Hi we have decided to go with oyster linear overhead cupboards. So far we have licorice linea bottom cupboards and island bench. We will be changing our benchtops to snow caesarstone with waterfall edges in 40mm. We have brown/grey porcelain tiles. So I am just trying to see what colour splashbacks would suit this colour theme? My husband likes the light green/aqua splashbacks but l don't know whether there will be too many colours clashing in the kitchen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want something tha would look really modern. Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: What colour splashback will go? 10Jun 23, 2010 1:02 pm Hi i would go the frosted glass for all and finish the top same as the fridge space color. no cornice needed and for the glass splash back i think you need to tie in a different color its all very nutral which is Fantastic cause it means you can anything. Personally i would look at a plum color for splash back. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=37134 THE THREAD https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35962 THE BLOG! http://pedrosinspiredbeauty.blogspot.com/ BRICKS BRICKS ARE FINISHED...

Do you thiink this will still look ok? Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: What colour splashback will go? 12Jun 23, 2010 7:25 pm yep i sure do and as far as either side of the chute put splash back which looks awesome or stainless steel sheet, or paint it the same as wall color but the glass looks awesome i have done that before. the glazier comes after its installed cuts a template out of paper to suit the shape either side of the chute and cutts glass to suit. the trick is to make sure you tell them ASAP so they can keep paint aside (same batch. Ugh realized new house hood not installed yet...lol they will glaze it before hood goes in. i had to do it the hard way before. tip for you... i also put tiny downlight type lights under the o/head cubs to show glass off.

Re: What colour splashback will go? 13Jun 23, 2010 11:18 pm Do you reckon they should do the bulkhead as a flyover the rangehood in oyster linea or just have it on top of the overhead cupboards and not the rangehood? I love the downlights under the overhead cupboard. Is it just normal downlights or is it led that you have installed? Do you have any pics plz? Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: What colour splashback will go? 14Jun 23, 2010 11:20 pm They have already installed the rangehood. I'll have to post the pic up. Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: What colour splashback will go? 15Jun 24, 2010 7:39 pm normal downlights on a dimmer switch. yes fly over makes the hood look built in and i mean the same color as your fridge cupboard so that the bulk head looks the same and blends as you have already gone to the ceiling there. make sure they make a panel around the hood so that when you look up. your not looking at whats behind the bulkhead. Give it a base if you know what i mean. make sure the downlights are flush mount chrome base looks awesome. i dont have a pic as i sold that house. i think i might be able to find one just before i finished it though. ill have a look. that kitchen sold that house with an extra 42g over my asking price ( and a good realestate too lol). https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=37134 THE THREAD https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35962 THE BLOG! http://pedrosinspiredbeauty.blogspot.com/ BRICKS BRICKS ARE FINISHED...
