Glass BackSplash Dilemma

last year
last modified: last year

How high should a solid grey glass backsplash go on my kitchen wall without cabinets? This wall is visible all the way into the living room. Should it go above the hood and floating shelves level with the door frame to the countertop? Or should I have only below the hood and floating shelves? This kitchen is open to the dining room and through to the living room. The floating shelves were seen as decorative versus functional. Not wanting too busy/cluttered. The curved hood matches the arch of the opening into the dining room I have attached another pic. We don't want the wall to stand out but be functional hence the color is similar to the wall color. No children just two adults. Do we look for a new hood or can we work with this hood and still have the glass backsplash? The floating wood shelves are stained the same as the floor color bringing warmth to the kitchen update.


I agree the crown needs to butt up to the hood but is the present hood big enough for the wall? We didn't want it to appear intrusive as it's visible all the way into the living room. This crown is original to this 1941 house and is in all rooms except the bedrooms. We plan to have the crown remade and butt to the hood. Should I have no shelves and just the glass? The house is cottage like so trying to warm up this area.




Color is similar to wall color...a solid sheet with no seams. Any ideas
