Kitchen Backsplash for apartment with high heat and oil cooking
Hi, I'm trying to figure out what material to use for a kitchen backsplash for my apartment. I do daily cooking using high heat and oil (searing meats on pans with oil, sauteeing veggies, etc). Below is how the kitchen looks with black granite countertops. What material should I use that'll fit design wise and practicality wise for our cooking style? Looking for something easy to clean with all the oil. Also, should I put backsplash behind the microwave or the section of the stove where the black granite is, or where the fridge is? Thanks in advance!

Comments (9)I am guessing that you want some kind of separation between dining room and kitchen? You want to keep steam and any oil in the air, from cooking, out of the dining room, stopping it at the ceiling with a wall but keeping the dining room open so the light from the large kitchen window can filter into the dining space? If I am right, the shape of an arch would best match the architecture of your house or of these rooms. An arch is an architectural element as well as a design element. It is possible though that an arch will be totally out of place in your space when a cleaned lined separation would look very nice. Hard to tell. Can you post a picture or give some verbal detail about the style of your spaces?...See MoreReviews for kitchen appliance brands

Comments (21)For the living room, the focus should be the balcony area. So flipping the couch to face the wall and not the dining table will help. Kind of like this pic. Even if you already have the sectional that is in the diagram, you should be able to flip it. In fact a sectional would probably work better than the couch in this pic. I also really don't like the style of this pic, but it showed what I meant, For the girls' room: No matter which bedroom you choose, you should maximize floor space so that they have the biggest play space possible in their room (as they get older you can add desks for school work and such). To get this space, I would give them bunk beds. This configuration gives them an open feel and more storage, essential for girls. You posted two different kitchen designs. This makes it hard to give you advice. I agree with other posts that your sink should be away from the wall. This allows you to have stuff to the left of you (drying dishes in my house), while you wash vegetables on the right of the sink. You need the same space on both sides of the stove, also. At least 24 inches on both sides is good. 36 is better, though. The first design has a nice little countertop space that adds a place for your daughters a space to sit a watch/ talk to you while you're in the kitchen. When they added this to the first design, you lost cabinets on the other wall. This is bad, as the space is already storage limited. Try making the rounded countertop bump out into the living space more. If you play with the shape, you could make it work without losing the cabinets on the other side. It doesn't have to be rectangular or a perfect circle. You can see how this one isn't confined to the floor plan of the kitchen. I think this is what you would need to do to make it the most functional....See Morekitchen
Comments (19)acc to ur kitchen cabinet pic, I would request u to get stone ( kadapa ) vertical base frame and on top before granite fitting and then wooden panel can be done for drawers n shelves. this will eliminate wood to get wet and start to fall apart. looking forward to modular version need to know it last few years only. wherever water is concerned only wooden panels won't work for longer n steady use. for counter tables or side working space that will work but not where the sink will be placed....See More
