"Need Help in designing wheelchair accessible Kitchen"
Comments (6)There are many info sources on Australian internet sites too. I tried to cut and paste but it won't work. I think if you want to search Google and more easily access websites based in other countries it helps to type "site country code; query" eg site au; wheelchair accessible kitchen or Australia Liveable Housing Guidelines. Youtube has videos of kitchens and also search under 'handicap kitchens' on youtube and Google images. Good luck....See MoreNeed help with Granite and backsplash selection
Comments (12)actually, to brighten up this dark and small feeling space, i'd look for a creamy base colored stone like khasmir gold or ivory gold, being sure to add an overhang on the island (if you like movement in the stone check out juprana granite) then exchange the pot rack over the island with either a pair of great pendants or a statement chandelier. from my own kitchen remodel experience i'll share you with you this: you'll get a much better price from a granite company then you will from a large home store ;) and be sure to take a cabinet door with you to shop. you can continue the granite onto the wall as a backsplash...they can cut the stone and make it go higher up the wall than the standard 3 inches which can be a great look. but if you really want tile, go for something simple that won't compete with the granite....like a cream colored subway tile. you can apply thim in a running brick pattern or a more modern stacked geometric pattern or even a herringbone. to control staining from food prep, don't use a white grout, use a slightly darker grout color that is inspired from the stone countertop. just remember that using a pattern on the countertop and another pattern on the backsplash can easily become overwhelming and then neither element stands out as the focal point. if you are spending a lot on a granite countertop, do everything you can to make it stand out as the best feature....See MoreWhat is the one item that you would love to have in your home?

Comments (9)Dear Mr. Gupta, I must appreciate your decision going with natural stone flooring. You have followed the right path to design. As for granite, what you've looked at is an wood grain natural granite. Natural granite come in all range of lighter shades - try galaxy white, wood grain, Norwegian shades of whites and creams etc. They all go very well in flooring as they need extremely low maintenance and take a good polish. But since you have opted for flooring, try a flamed or leather finish. However, natural stones could take up stains very easily. It is therefore recommended to choose Indian granite (harder and non-porous than imported) in off whites to conceal any stains. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar...See MoreRose G
