Kitchen Wall Tiles Vs Cabinets

Featured Replies

Hi i need opinions on how to tile up my kitchen walls:

Option 1: Full wall tiling up to ceiling, but will cost a bomb since my kitchen is huge, but if in future i'm selling the house i would get a better price.

Option 2: Only tile the exposed areas. Means the walls behind the kitchen cabinets won't be tiled. But downside would be the next new owners might quibble the house price over that.

Not sure what is the normal procedure. Different IDs gave me different suggestions so now i'm in a dilemma. Pls help! :dunno:

even if u do full-tiled up or half-tiled, the valuation should be the same. Who will go and check behind the cabinet has tiles or not.

If the un-titled are not exposed, noone knows... plus no buyer examine that area la...

Beside down that time, its a different story liao.. don get con by ur contractor...

Its usually a preference of the owner... of course best to have but if budget. jus leave it n cabinet over it la...

Also tiling over that area or not does not significantly change your selling price... its the overall.. don get con by people if anyone tell you so.... it does not work that way.

Look at your budget n functionality.... if u particular. do all e way.. it will be better

if budget constraint... can hide no problem ...

I also hide.... kekkekeke

EH ya how would a potential buyer viewing know whether got tiles or not? and PLENTY of people dun have tiles these days. The valuer dun care about that. And I think potential buyers will ALWAYS haggle over the price and will find something to haggle over no matter wat.

Unless pocket overflow with cash la. then wun haggle over anything at all.
