Splashbacks:
Kitchen Splashbacks protect the wall area between benchtops and overhead cupboards from grease, steam and water. The finish you choose must be practical and easy to clean, while the colour or pattern can add real impact by contrasting with other finishes. Tiles are a popular choice for most kitchens as is laminate. For a country kitchen a pressed metal splashback is ideal.

Cornices:
The canopy or cornice capping and the use of a bulkhead give the overhead cupboards dimension and purpose. Decide whether overhead cupboards will reach right to the ceiling and consider the overall height of the ceiling in the design.

Kickboards:
The kickboard, plinth or kicker forms the base for the cupboards and can feature in matching or contrasting colours. Your Kitchen Designer will ensure appliances like the dishwasher are integrated so that the kickboard lines up properly to give a professional look.

Handles and knobs:
Door handles and knobs will add effect and colour and can improve the lines of a kitchen. Choose them as an integral part of the design, not as an afterthought. Doors without handles and knobs are also popular providing sleek simplicity to your styling.

Fabrics:
Soft furnishings, window treatments and furniture should be selected with the overall design in mind. In the kitchen, it’s wise to choose fabrics which can be laundered and will withstand heat, steam, water and the occasional spill.

Accessories:
Accessories offer a simple way to reflect the latest trends and are easily changed when the look needs updating. Colourful china, glassware, pots and pans, utensils and small appliances can all go on show these days, as can cookbooks, fruit and vegetables and even works of art.
