Renovating Design Dilemma Kitchens

Need ideas for colour palette and/or material for kitchen splashback

Hi, we are in the middle of finishing our kitchen renovation, and we are stuck on the colour and material we should use for our kitchen splashback. My wife is suggesting some copper looking material either behind the hob or across the whole space. I'd appreciate your input as I've researched a lot of options but now I'm a bit lost on what colours and materials could work. Thanks in advance!

Great upper and lower cabinet colour combination. I would consider continuing my worksurface up the wall to the underside of uppers. Copper would look great and add real depth. You could also consider brass sheeting to add warmth. White or cream zellige tiles would add light and detailed interest.As you already have an upstand I would consider skipping a splashback altogether.

If you want the wood grain to be the focal point (I would) then a pale textured zellige (as mentioned above) would look lovely. Copper would work with the blue but would detract from the subtlety of the grain.

I think this is a really nice kitchen - you've done a nice job. The only thing that is throwing it off are the two different floors in dining and kitchen area. I'd like to see the same flooring continued through both areas. I think you'll be very pleased with the difference it makes. Since you do not like the wood or the tile, perhaps a porcelain 12x24 tile would work for you. It's very durable, so you wouldn't have to worry about the Newfies scratching it and very easy to maintain. You'd could opt for one of the wood grains on the market or one made to simulate stone. I think a greyish color would work well.

Thank you for your suggestions and ideas! I love some of the more daring/colourful ideas, but I don't think I'm, personally, bold enough to go with such a contemporary look. I'm going to stick to a traditional/modern style and use large (4" x 8") white subway tiles and dark grey grout. I'm thinking of using a dark grey paint around the kitchen walls and then a lighter shade around the rest of the room, with maybe the dark grey on the wall behind the TV too. Will be a few more weeks before that's all done, but I'll post a picture when I eventually get there. Thanks again!

I really like the clean lines of your kitchen , it's beautiful and I would not add to much colour but you could use some accessories with green and white that would compliment this minimalistic kitchen. For example adding a bright green plant/s or an accessory the same colour as the clock on your top wall can put everything in a nice perspective!

Hi Maria. It's a lovely kitchen and I must admit I like the white so would probably change the accessories. I would add a huge sunburst clock or mirror above the cabinets (can't work out if it's a clock or mirror above the fire). Add a statement light over the table. Try a coloured splashback behind the cabinets. Add some coloured stools. I would say paint the kitchen chairs but I can see they are good quality! If you do want to paint then either blues, violets or even a very soft grey if you add some coloured accesories. Do make sure the colour blends with the lounge though as you can obviously see through.

Maybe copper or similar behind the hob, but otherwise I don’t think you need tiles or anything, just decent paint that can take a little bit of wiping. Love the cupboard colour combo!

If you do decide to add a thin splash back such as tiles or metal sheet consider removing the Quartz upstand in order to gain a little space behind the tap

Hi- I couldn’t resist trying out the question on a chatgpt image generator, only giving it a prompt regarding what I could see in your photo (a modern handleless kitchen with dark grey lowers, ash uppers, and a white quartz counter. ) It came back with the Scandi-esque photo. The second photo was promoted by a request to change to a copper backsplash. It might be worth playing around with a similar image generator to help you set the right design direction. I personally prefer the light colour backsplash.

I would go for a simple Zelig style tiling as already suggested. They have a lovely pearlised finish which would go beautifully with the wood and the blue. Or perhaps light hexagonal tiles like below? They would look better with the upstand removed.
