Splash back ideas

8 years ago

Any suggestions for splash back ideas? I have been living with white paint for 4 years! Barn conversion on a dairy farm - not that it is an issue, just adding for background info. Please excuse the mess!

Thank you leelee for making me feel like crap. To answer your question, with having a ten month old, having to cook for three workmen, working on the farm during busy calving season no I didn't have 5 minutes. You should perhaps think before you post as you have really hurt my feelings

What a great stove, sink, cabinets, counter & floor. I would remove the low backsplash that is currently up & add a subway tile in a running bond pattern with an accent section above the stove of subway in a chevron pattern outlined with a charcoal pencil trim. Not seeing any color in the room, I would choose a light, bright color such as butter yellow or almost white teal & continue the tile up to the ceiling where you can. Go with either light gray grout or a dark charcoal as you choose.

great idea - should the tiles be the yellow or teal, or would you keep them white?

You can stay neutral but use different textures in the tiles. Glass mixed with ceramic or marble is good. I would put tile on the entire backsplash and make a great accent piece over the range. Change up the patterns also. It will add interest without adding too much color. If you want to be bolder, chose one or two colors in the tiles that you can live with or that you have in the rest of the house. That will pull your color scheme into the kitchen and make a cohesive look as you go throughout the house.

Do you have any pictures you can post? Actual names of the products/colours already chosen? That would help to ensure any advice is appropriate.

I recommend glass subway tile as a backsplash in a staggered pattern. It comes in amazing variety of colors. Take several samples home to see how they work with your granite. Your choices sound quite beautiful so trust your gut.

The color of cabinets looks yellow in picture...if it is ivory then any color you like would work...color is very personal and should relate to you and the rest of your home...try using houzz photos of kitchens to get ideas of which colors appeal to you

No to teal, yellow, or any other color here. You already have three colors at play: the white (?) appliance/sink, the black countertops, and the cherry toned wood. As there's already a fair amount of black going on I would match white subway to the same white as the sink - wether it's a warm, blue or yellow white. Choose a matching grout to avoid any pronounced pattern from occurring.

I'm always so surprised when people post pictures of their homes that are, well a real mess. Not that everyone's home doesn't get messy but that you couldn't take 5 minutes and clean it up before you post pictures???

I'm not a huge fan of subway tile but, in your kitchen it would be perfect. Follow Rusty Empire's advice on getting the correct tone of white. AB FAB kitchen - love your cooker!

That was rude leelee. As for the backsplash since everything is fairly neutral I would agree a nice white subway tile would be nice I too would remove the black 4” piece and run the tile up from the counter

I agree that something simple like a subway would work and remain a classic over time. The subway could be a shade of white/off white to match your other whites in the room. I realize many will disagee, but i still like a subway in a natural light travertine with cherry cabinets. We have a small horse farm and work in our business seven days a week, so i get what its like not to want high maintenance and to have limited time. We have travertine as our backsplash. Seal it well when its installed and it is very easy to maintain over time. It also doesn't show every spot where things spatter.

Are your counters soapstone? You have beautiful, classic finishes so far so I agree with the others that are posting to remove the small backsplash trim you have and to do a white subway tile. I do like when the grout is darker (but narrow like 1/8 inch) rather than white to match the tile so you get a little pizzazz. I also am a fan of keeping it simple and not doing a feature pattern over the stove. Especially in your case where you have the unique vent piping.
