Thank you Rainmaking, Back Painted Glass works and I have tried but the safety factor jumps in and too delicate for working tables. I just finished a project last week using simple enamel paint and although it is cost effective and comparatively easy the maintenance is huge and scratches and wear & tear is highly probable. So I am looking into Acrylic currently but wished to know any other methods that are available coz when looking into the beautiful photos posted here for kitchen counters and other table tops they seldom look like acrylic and looked more interesting.

Hello Paridhi, You should use Walnut in the base cabinets and white on the wall cabinets with the top ledge being in walnut. Refer an image attached.. Please do not use black and white combination, especially glossy black with glossy white. Even if you have already purchased the black laminates I would recommend not to use it.. Besides this there are few things you should take care of.. 1-The cabinets and the slab width are same. Slab should be 1-2 inches more than the cabinets. Please fix this otherwise the furniture will get spoilt very soon. 2-The bottom end of the cabinets should leave 3inches of space..right now it is 1 inches..It must be raised. 3-There are no drawers in the plan, it is quite inconvenient to store cutlery, vessels within doors. 4-There is no provision for a chimney here. Hope you have thought well about it. 5-The rafters are made in POP whereas the inspiration one are made in wood. It requires a very skilled worker to get a close walnut finish. Please get a sample done before you go for the walnut polish. Thanks Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hello, There shouldn't be much of a difference. However, Matt finish would be better from long term perspective. Some optical mouses do not work properly on glossy surfaces (in case you are planning for using one). You can also add a removable glass top if you are keen on maintenance part. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

that's what I meant. The cabinets below and above the counter can be finished with a light toned wood grained laminate. if you feel that is too plain, another option would be to go with light wood grain below and plain off white above. Maybe add a couple of wood grained shutters above also to break the monotony
