Splashback help pls.

7 years ago

We have had our new kitchen installed (finally). We r so happy with it all thus far. I had my heart set on a mirror splashback but unfortunately all quotes have come in way above what I had budgeted. So now I am unsure as what we should go with. Below is a couple of photo's of the kitchen, floor tiles & pendants.

Hi Stacey, your kitchen choices look fabulous so far!

What about a white glass splash back?

I don't know cost price mirror splashback v glass. (Star fire v green ie not oxide free) but if can't afford any of these just go largest white tiles can Not subway as sure it will date but rest of your kitchen won't Not grey either I'm not normally into white kitchens but if you have to go tiles just go satin white timeless !!

We just painted a color called "Latte" over the dark red walls in our place and we keep thinking that someone left the light on! It adds that much light to the place as the red was just sucking out any light in the place. Find a color you like more for that wall and repaint...and/or maybe add a ceramic tile backsplash? It will make it feel brighter in there immediately as you will get a lot of light reflection. I love the idea of sage green with your cabinets.

Happy to help ! I'm only a short swim away in England !! I think if you want a truly opulent cream for the kitchen cabinets - I'd suggest you get a colour match for the range ! It looks a very creamy cream ! Think it could be stunning ! Then have slightly lighter walls and tiles to keep the room feeling light and airy ! If you have walnut stain for your worktop on your island , I'd suggest using that on your exposed legs if you go for the dipped paint look on the table and chairs ! Are you having the classic CC shaped island ?!?

White for sure , and yes you could add a stripe of a colored glass tile mosaic I would just make it one color. But IMO the best is just white and then add the color with accent pieces like in this pic

The tile is very pretty. I don't know if it is just the colours showing up differently on screen but the light grey appears to be a different tone (more purple to me) than your tile. If you want a light grey I would take the tile to the store and try for a better match. The dark color ties in nicely to the tile and could be very dramatic and stunning if the room gets a lot of light.

Looking at your colours so far, you could introduce a warm soft grey splashback tile. This will provide some definition the the space and unite the bench top and cabinets. Good luck

I'd go with either white glass splash back or a silver. I don't think it's very pricey. I'm doing it myself.

I have been out looking at tiles today. It is so hard to choose. I must admit I have fallen in love with the below marble herringbone tiles. The sales assistant suggested doing this as a feature behind the stove with a white satin tiles. I am wondering if I just do it all the way.

How exciting for you Stacey! I was going to suggest white or marble patterned tiles in an interesting layout design on the splashback. To simplify it, I'd use the same tile over the entire splashback. Tiles are by far cheaper than glass or mirror and so much more interesting. Going for a ceramic over marble tiles is cheaper again. Cheap may not need to be boring, also consider the grout colour, as it can really change the look and feel also. Good luck!

Your kitchen is extremely WHITE. Multi coloured tiles could give it a lift and you could install them yourself? Any sort of glass - mirror or coloured - will be expensive. There are ceramic sheet materials available that are very pretty but probably too expensive for you and, like glass, they need to be professionally cut.

Where to find a coffee table like this? It has a marble top by the looks of it. Can anyone point me to a supplier who stocks this sort of table?
