Thought I was finished, now not so sure- please vote!

I finally got the panels over my fridge and freezer to be the right size. But now I keep staring at the space above them. I had asked for solid stock there, and that is what I have. But does it look unfinished?

Here is mine:

And here is my inspiration for the range/fridge wall:

Solid stock too. Is it the decorative side panel that is messing me up? Here are the voting options:

1. Keep as is, like the inspiration

2. Add a small matching panel above like this:

Or this:

3. Add an onlay like this:

Thanks for your input!!

    fine as is...the wall length is not enormous..everything is in scale with the visual focus going to area above cooking surface, rightfully so. if you add things above fridge, you really have no particular reason, and the focus then shifts around...this wall is not that long to require this addition. I would put something larger, like a decorate plate standing up, or bigger pottery on the mantle ledge to keep the visuals right there. Very pretty space.

      I agree. I would keep it as is and add a large decorative element on the hood mantle. It is where my eye was naturally drawn.


      Very nice space!

      I think it looks great as is; I would resist the pull to gild the lily as the rest of your kitchen seems to flow with the existing look

      Ditto with leaving it - your space is gorgeous. I think the small panels actually draw more attention as being out of place from the rest, and while the inlay is lovely, it seems to be a definitive style choice that in that image echoes the backsplash and handles. I think you've got such a beautiful setup as is, I think adding something would be over-working it.

      I am going to be the voice of dissent....I think this panel above would look really nice and more finished.

      To add on to what I said earlier, and risk embarrassing myself; when I initially looked at your post, I had to "search" for the fridge/freezer.


      I literally spent a second or two trying to figure out what you were talking about because all I saw was your range and hood surrounded by cabinetry.


      That is the point of paneling isn't it? To make appliances look like cabinets? Well yours successfully fooled me! ;)


      I would be worried that any additional detail would draw attention to them.

      I vote leave it. I think adding anything will actually distract more than compliment the space. Just my 2 pennies.

      Thank you all for helping me out! I appreciate the insight and ideas to add more bling to the hood mantle.

      Lavender- thanks for braving the dissenting vote;)

      Texas_Gem- your second comment really made me smile. That IS the idea behind paneling the integrated fridge- I love that you didn't see them!

      I am going to leave it as is, and now I have a reason to go shopping for decor.

      Wow. Not often I like the real deal over the inspiration pick. Beautiful job. I think you are making the right decision. I know it's been said a million times here, but those little things that seem to stand out to the owner right after a remodel look fine after living with them for a while.

      It looks perfect! Love the apron front toekick on the 3 stack of drawers next to it.

      I love it as is. Very classy. However, I'm another voice of dissent because I think I'd like the hood better with nothing on it to draw the eye. Let the beautiful lines of that lovely wall of moldings and cabinetry speak for themselves without further stuff to get in the way. But I tend to be a minimalist so YMMV. )

      I'd leave it. You have spent so much time planning and dreaming about the kitchen that you just need to get your mind to relax and enjoy what you have created. It is beautiful.

      Houzz is great but it can make us a little (or more than a little) obsessed. Can I get an amen?

      I also had to visually search around your photo for the fridge/freezer. I think it is perfect just like it is.
