This alcove belongs to a lakehouse. Alcoves are a great way to contain the stove's heat and also fireproof the kitchen. These can be installed in full, partial or shallow depths and work best with larger cooktops that have preparation room on the stove's surface. The brick used here is similar to the Metropolitan Quarry Royal Thin Brick.

A Kitchen backsplash with a chevron pattern helps liven up a functional space adding beauty where we entertain and ending up spending most of our time. A similar tile to this is MSI's Dolomite Polished Chevron. It's a striking combination of white and gray crafted from fine natural marble that has a decidedly contemporary edge with timeless material. They coordinate beautifully with other natural tiles and slabs.
