Love the backsplash tiles! Don’t love the wooden hood (but that’s just my taste) maybe some wood toned barstools and color with flowers or pieces of interest on the counters.

if OTR micro is hooked up, it has to (or it should) have vent to outside. it's simple enough to switch to a custom hood vent.

as for your choice, I like it. I have quite a few CleTile myself. I just did these Zellige in my pantry floor area

have you gotten samples? the colors are quite varied and you want to make sure it works w/the grays.

as for vent hood, I think that one is a little too farmhouse. see? I don't like it w/everything else
you just can't throw up a giant wood piece and expect to suddenly make everything come together.

You'll have to do it increments. wood island stools, wood on the vent hood, maybe a wood door to the pantry. put glass in a few of the uppers. bring in a rug.

Why don't you do a white hood w/wood trim? it's easier to keep clean too. I did one in my kitchen with a walnut trim. I have a very small space over my range, so I had to have a smaller hood. I don't care for the 'chimney' type that extends above your cabinets.

basically, you'd do something on this order and have the wood inset along the bottom portion. The panel above would be removable to allow access to the vent and for cleaning. (my panels also come off) . you buy the insert and have the hood built around it to fit.

it's too bad there aren't wood floors instead of the gray tones. that would have given you the warmth.

The house architecture is “farmhouse”, so I was trying to tie some of that in. We are more industrial (black, metal pipe, concrete), rustic (live edge, warm woods, Mediterranean tiles, copper accents) and maybe a little boho (we’re in CA).

I know what you mean about the grime on the wood vent. I had the same thoughts. We were considering just a simple stainless steel one. My husband doesn’t like the wood trim on the bottom or the all white. It vents outside through the cabinets above, I know how to install it.

In the process of getting tile samples (I absolutely need to see them in the space), but things are a bit difficult right now. We won’t be in the house for a month so I was just designing things in my head, not much else to do during the quarantine!

Your kitchen is lovely. It just needs staging for interest and warmth.

Thanks for all the ideas! I actually have those stools in silver (but don’t want to use them here). We like the wood and metal look, even leather. Something like these.

See how that green tape measure (?) in the counter pops? Runners. Plants. Accessories. Stools.

I agree that slapping up a raw would vent would just make the room look confused. At least do it to match the cabinets. I like your tile choice and if you love go for it.

Area rugs will help you break up the floor and allow you to build a color pallet. We would need to see what you like to help you with that, and pictures of that space.

Pendant lighting, perhaps paint the island:

I would not do anything but accessories. may be paint the island.

You mentioned Boho and woods...,
I saw this carved book stand and thought of you.... Also, you can display a colorful cookbook on the counter/ neutral, colorful, dessert sinful... Here's the time you can judge a book by its cover.

Just found this one- mango wood carved "tree of life" motif

Rugs. & boho accessories (part deux)

The upper cabinets and the wall above look like cream color. The lower cabinetry is
bright white. The gray counter and backsplash look beautiful with the white, but not with the cream uppers. If the uppers ARE bright white, you probably need to adjust the type of lighting to make them look bright white. If the uppers and the walls are cream, I would have them redone in bright white.

I agree that a random white hood would look out of place., But accessories in the wood tones of your furniture will help. Live plants, art, etc. Your kitchen is a blank slate at the moment... grey looks great with that nice caramel toned leather. Navy blue. Some fun hanging pendants. All is not lost - let is grow on you a bit, but you have to move in first!

I love the way your kitchen looks - everything about it! My opinion would be to warm it up with some boho type accents - splashes of wood and color everywhere. It would look terrific and you wouldn’t have to change much. I’m going through a backsplash re-do and WHAT A MESS! My whole house has drywall dust everywhere and the thing is (I’d never tell my husband this) but I wished I would have left the original backsplash. It was stainless, horizontal sticks (my kitchen cabinets look almost identical to yours and my countertop is white quartz). I loved it, but found it very hard to clean and maintain - there we’re always water marks from the kitchen taps plus the person who installed it did a horrible job. I can’t wait for this job to be finished! Good luck with your decision😊

We also don't have a picture of the other side of the space, but wood shades can add a ton of warmth and texture.

We were super happy with our blinds from Select Blinds but I would strongly recommend privacy liner unless you face a forest.

It’s the floors. Nothing will be enough warmth without jettisoning them. That’s more expensive than tchotchkes. But it’s the real change that needs to happen.

I think some call it a wonderful "blank slate" and speaking of stone, from merely a photo, I know, but it seems a warm grey like pebbles in the stream. I really like it. Should we see more of the house?

"I’m mostly worried about how some of our warmer stained wood furniture/a warm stained vent hood is going to look with this very cool gray floor."

IMHO, warm stained wood furniture will help a lot. But a big "no" vote on the wood vent. The metal is better.

All this grey needs warm colors (like red) to break it up. Also might want to check into Feng Shui elements and their colors, to balance out the grey and it's "metal" element overload in the room.

Thank you for all you suggestions! You have given me lots of ideas to consider during this crazy time. I was browsing and found an inspiration photo that I love. I actually think it combines a lot of ideas from the feedback.

Thank you all!

I would put Wood on the island portion to warm it up it did not cost much and have since added plants and color Thru accessories I think you kitchen is very pretty😀

I kn ow someone mentioned don’t do a wood hood. I had o e at last house horrible to keep clean. Completely agree

Just a thought that blue island could make grey floor appear even cooler. A few of us said that a warm color is a direction for boho, at least // and could be combo with rustic/industrial possibly.

Your inspiration photo nailed it. A painted island and leather chairs, with new lighting above, will definitely give the room personality. I also think a runner will help to add color and could be a jumping off point for upholstered bar stools (instead of leather) and other accessories. Although industrial may be a preferred look, it won’t “warm up” the space as much as “boho”.
