Finish kitchen walls

2 years ago

Finally, I have time to finish my kitchen:), it’s been a while and material I want to use has been discontinued. I was able to locate 2 slabs at one of the local fabricators, now thinking how to utilise it and fit what I have left in a single slab so I don’t waste money at 2 slabs and most of it will go to waste.
Here’s what I want to do…

Wall on the left of the oven (see picture), top to bottom (same material as all existing backsplash)
Wall above the cooktop, bottom half is already done, need to finish the top portion. There will be almost enough material from the same slab but I need to transition somehow between bottom and top.
Also, the exost pipe from the vent will be removed, so it will be straight wall going up.

Designers, please give me some ideas for transition piece, tile, metal, etc. I need links to materials please. It should be about 4-6 inches stripe or more. I hope I explained it clear, any questions welcome. The piece that I left white on the markup above the cooktop, is the one I need to finish.

What are the slabs made of? What is the big black thing obscuring the exhaust vent? Where is the new vent?

The slabs are Dekton (Milar discontinued color), the big black thing IS a vent, I know looks like TV but it’s a vent. Popular European style but maniple in the states haven’t seen ones like that. :)

Where is this mysterious transition piece going? Wouldn’t you want it to look like it’s continuous so you would just butt the new piece on top of the existing? If I was running short I would skip the vertical piece on the left of the wall oven.

If I just continue than I will have a seam … the edge on the stone is finished right now so it will not just go on top, it will have a few mm connection seam.

Thanks for info. Talk to your fabricator to get references to a local kitchen designer familiar with Dekton who can help you finish. Dekton may also be able to help you locate a designer.

Thanks! I already spoke to designers, nobody can give me a right idea, that’s why I am reaching out to bigger audience. Thank you!

I see the problem is the finished edges are already in place on the existing panel(s). You would be trying to make a seam look impossibly nice between two finished, polished edges (one there now, one on the future panel).

Options:

1) The easy solution is to remove the existing Dekton panel(s) on the cooktop wall and replace them with the new panels from countertop to ceiling.

2) Since the current design concept is "smooth and uninterrupted", you could abandon that concept and use a row of black tile trim pieces or narrow ribbon of stone.

I am leaning towards the second option but thought something different. The stone is not black although it may look black on the picture, it’s dark brown with texture.
