A tile backsplash would look beautiful. With your cabinet, I would do a carrera marble subway tile.

Tile it or leave it blank. A mirror has no place there. If it was a very fancy and or ultra modern space then maybe but based on the simplicity of the room I think a mirror would look like you were trying too hard. Subway tiles always work in these applications.

Improved function and look is what's needed so, remove the two upper wall cabinet doors and white putty the hinge holes. Install a white valance below the wall cabinet. Add a light behind the valance. Use the now open cabinet for colorful bowls and cups that can be used in the microwave.
Tile the entire backsplash in the kitchen with glass subway tile in a green, tan, or gray color. More light and color will create a fun and functional improved look.

Hi, I would suggest white for the bookshelve to keep it as neutral as possible for colorfull books. But I don't see a need to go with the same color for the sideboard. this can be doone in either grey or any darker color you like. Could be a nice eyecatcher. Christiane

The pillowcase gives you a good impression. For me light colours do not work as good as darker ones. The petrol (right corner) would be great. But what colour does the girls love? If it is pink you go for a darker one or purple. And it is always best to test the look first. So buy just a small sample of the colour and try. If a dark colour is too dark for you, just paint one wall and the others white.

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

Another post on Houzz yesterday was of a kichen with a mirrored backsplash...and they were asking if they should take it down. You might want to try to find that thread to see what that looks like. Most of the posters on that thread were saying it was too dated looking and encouraged the homeowner to remove the mirrored backsplash. Not trying to be disagreeable with Cathy above, however. Mirror gets spashed while washing dishes and you will find you are constantly wiping it down.Just my humble opinion.

Subway tiles would be a classic choice, as noted by many commenters. But you might also consider a slender glass tile in a colorful hue that is pulled from the rest of the room, combined with stone tiles of the same size and shape mixed in. They look great in a space like yours laid horizontally. A good tile store will have many of these to choose from, as they are a very hot trend that lend a modern vibe. It will look radiantly translucent and add depth to the kitchen, which seems (from this photo) to need some color and depth.

I have used a mirror to not feel so confined. It will bring more natural light from other areas. Just feels more comfortable.

I have almost the identical size space above my sink and I have a picture. I am not a messy person, so it only needs to be wiped down on rare occasions. Paper towels might be convenient, but would look tacky.

Yes, the image that anne dee posted captures what I was trying to describe. Great look. Also, consider a shelf over the tile. You can place changeable items on it, such as a clock, a menu board, cannisters, keepsake/photo, Jackalope head (LOL), etc.

Maybe even a tiled niche between the studs with the backsplash? Or is that too "bathroomy"? Could be a nice spot for pretty dish soap container and hand lotion.

What is your budget? It looks like a tiny kitchen. The space is too small for a knick knack shelf and a mirror will just be a mess. Tile from wall to wall and between the upper cabinets and splash is the best choice. Make sure to run it behind the stove. If you need a lower cost option a 4 x 8 sheet of wood bead board can go a long way in a small kitchen. It makes a nice back splash with a washable gloss paint finish. A vinyl wallpaper is the least expensive option. There are wall papers that look like tile.

What if you found some tiles that are sold as hanging art pieces? I've seen small ones, so you could do a series that appealed to you, or one big one (like a 12"x12"). Local weekend street markets are a good source, if there is one in your area. That way, if it got grungy, you're in the right place to give it a quick wash!

A mirror or mirror tile would be really nice. Just a quick wipe clean every day will keep it looking great. OR. A favorite landscape picture to help you "escape" as you stand at the sink washing pots Both would be nice. Happy decorating!

Lots of good ideas given here already--I too face a wall at the sink, and I've been wanting to purchase some wallpaper-like scene in a washable material that could take being splashed on, and wiped clean--something along the lines of an outdoor Italian countryside scene would be nice--just something to look at while washing the dishes instead of a blank wall--right now I've placed a musical clock over the sink that is pretty, and plays a tune on the hour--it's better than staring at nothing but wall board anyway, and costs lots less than most things I've thought of putting there--I also liked the idea of placing a mirror there that resembles a window--but maybe just covering half the space since I, myself, don't enjoy the idea of just having to stare at myself the entire time I'm standing there, lol.:)

I would have put white subway tiles on the walls, keeping it light and airy. I would pick up color with accents on the counters, towels, utensils, etc.

The colors are off. The walls are a yellowish/gold and the sink looks pink. Not great combinations.

I saw a small kitchen space that had a window on the wall adjacent to the sink area and they mirrored JUST behind the sink with tile on either side and it made the space feel light and bright as the window was reflected in the mirror (as a result of the angle from which the camera snapped). You could always find a mirror from a thrift shop that is about the size of that space and place behind the sink and try using for a week or so to figure out if it works for you or if the maintenance would be too much.

A nice large painted plate, antique or not.. in a plate holder that will simply hang on wall and serves no function but looks nice while you wash dishes. I bought some hand painted French Haviland plates on Ebay. You have a modern spot so I'd think a lacquer platter with a fun design would look nice. TJ Maxx would be an easy place to find a large platter.. The plate hangers are cheap.. I got mine at a Michaels' art supply.

Trompe l'oeil--that's what I was trying to say when it came to what to place on that wall above the sink--thanks Scott design inc.! Some scene that is enjoyable to view while standing there doing dishes--that's the plan I have for my own wall space above my sink, so I agree with you.:)

No paper towel holder please. I like the large plate idea. I also like grouping molds together (copper, wood, ceramic). My last idea-- have u seen the Dickens tiles u can buy at nice shops. You have a huge choice. You group them together on walls. Google them so u can see what I'm talking about. You could do 4 in that space.
If u like music, choose a music tile. Choose tiles according to your personality, likes, etc.

I have a stone type of sculpture in that space, in my kitchen. It has a loose form and a boat in it, my kitchen is nautical themed.

Whatever you put there, make sure it can wipe down easily...it will get dirty from cooking.

Tiling the whole wall is the obvious choice but if that's not in your budget you can put an ironwork scroll. These aren't very nice but it's just to give you an idea. But you actually don't really need to put anything in that space.

Hi, this is my first idea submission - hope you find it inspiring :) well, here i have used a glass cutting board which cost me less than $15 - personally I love it as it not only protects the wall behind but also serves as a nice inexpensive backsplash! Furthermore, i find it easy to clean as you can either just wipe it off or wash with your dishes - Since it is more like an accent piece, i dont use it as a cutting board! The picture did not come through very clear but you get the idea ;)

Here's another idea - its a pre-cut sheet that I bought from Home Depot - you can buy more pieces to cover the entire wall or do something as i did - they carry it in different designs (tiles etc) - hope this helps!

Why not try a tile backsplash, light grey subway tiles with a white glass insert, it would link your counter top to your kitchen cabinets. Also we recommend an époxy or urethane grout for easy clean up .
