@Jayme Hobbs .. thanks a mil Jayme I had been looking at a light grey colour but was afraid it might end up looking just whitewashed but I love the wall paint in the pic. @eagledzines.. I've attached the closeup of the counter, will look into changing the handles just to give the cabinets a lift. @Dannielle Lyn... I was actually looking at glossy black tiles this afternoon and thinking seriously about them so that helped thanks

When we brought our house it had parquet in the kitchen, Before weIt has made had an opportunity to seal it our dishwasher flooded & they poped up. I recommend that u carefully research using it in a wet area before committing to it.

Here's a modern design we built recently with glass backsplash. This was three different colors of Ann Sacks tiles.

Hi I am having a kitchen fitted and getting a splashback - the kitchen is high gloss handless cream and the worktop is wood with a 100 MM plinth in wood - walls are being painted beige trying to decide on the backsplash 1. Kitchen maker says black to match hob 2. I'm considering having it made cream to match the kitchen would black be too busy - it's an open plan living kitchen area many thanks in advance
