Hi Mary, I'd say remove the wall tiles and replace them with a glass splashback the whole way round or have a matching granite upstand put in and simply paint the walls. Splashbacks are my favourite as they tend to add some light to the kitchen thanks to its reflective surface. Also another idea would be to play around with lighting, which is getting more and more popular in kitchens now, such as LEDs under your wall cabinets, on top of your cabinets or along the plinth. The added lighting just adds a little something special to the kitchen and more importantly it doesn't have to cost the earth either! Another lighting option could be to go with the industrial lighting craze right now and get something put right above the island which would really add character to the kitchen too! Marius

Go for turquoise, it will match your modern/electic style - love it!

I quite like glass metro tiles. If you wanted a glass splashback most glass companies should be able to match a specific colour but make sure that is toughened. I wouldn't recommend mirror just because of the heat from the cooker. Another options is that bushboard make a splashback they have some very funky designs. http://www.bushboard.co.uk/inspiration/kitchen-design-ideas/splashbacks-58

Hi there, personally I think a turquoise glass splash aback will be the best option. We have one ourselves in orange and we find it the best when it comes to cleaning. We have complimented ours with matching chairs and objects and I think it is really effective. I also think that the grey tiles would work but I would definitely recommend the splash back. Keep me posted and hope this helps :) x
