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?

Thanks! I was also leaning to leaving the short wall alone but wanted some outside advice :) appreciate the opinions!

Hi Rasa, Nice to hear from you and I’m glad I was able to give you some inspiration for your kitchen tiles. I’ve included another image for you to look at that shows more of a farm house style kitchen with the coloured tiles. If you worried the coloured tiles might look too contemporary for your space, I would advise going for quite soft, muted colour tones to give you the same effect but in a more rustic style. You can see in the attached image how they have used a soft sheen, textured tile in neutral tones, with a subtle hint of colour to be in-keeping with that farmhouse feel. For your tile colours, you could pick up the off white tone of your cabinets with the grey in the granite, and a very soft hint of green or blue to add a little colour to achieve the same look for your kitchen. I have also added some paint swatches below you could use as reference for tile colours to help you visualise the combination. Off white: Greys: Blue or Green: Hopefully this answers your questions for you and I’d love to see some pictures when your project is finished. Good luck with the decorating.

Hello Nitin, The question is very open ended with millions of choices possible. Please see if the approach below works out for you. See some kitchen images on this platform. Save what you like in your idea book and finalise on some 3-4 options. Once that is done you can customize based on the material availability in the Area you live in.
