Niall Caffrey Project Manager

With an open kitchen, the area above the stove is a great spot to splurge. Because it’s relatively small, you won’t need a ton of tile, so pick something you love, like a hand-painted one or one with an unusual finish. The remainder of the kitchen can be tiled in a less expensive complementary surface material.
