You have a great opportunity to go eclectic. So using very modern and colourful elements for the kitchen - modern storage cannisters, a vase, lights, toaster, even mixer, you start to introduce shocks of colour and shape that jar with the expectations in a traditional kitchen. In this image see how the chairs just add a touch of cheek to cheer up the kitchen...

Thsnks, A lacquer spray will give you the desired effect. Please get a sample test on the leftover tile before proceeding on the wall as it will be a permanent thing. Thanks Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore

It’s is back painted glass. As a back splash it can be used as it’s easy to clean and maintain. Highly recommended to be toughened. The entire back needs to be cladded in waterproof plywood and then the glass is stuck on to it with special adhesive or silicon gel. Any reservations on using plywood then you can opt for WPC ( wood plastic composite ) which is alternative to play and is totally termite-water proof.

Ananya, Wooden ACP cladding with glass and natural stone would look good on this. The circles could be covered in external rectangular boxes.
