I think cherry glass would cheapen it. Have you considered a mirror glass, don't know if I would like to maintain it but others here swear by it. Tiles like Earp Bros suggested look good. I also like the glass mosaics but they might be a bit blingy for your room. I went back to laminate for my new kitchen and I really don't think you can beat it - it just looks so clean and uncluttered, and better still, it doesn't break the bank. Congratulations on a beautiful job.

Hmm, on a larger wall space I could see an encaustic tile with the glass splash back colour incorporated in the pattern working. Any tile added would need to match or be thinner than the glass, making sure you take glue thickness into account. Also check how added wall thickness might affect the upper cabinets -would it prevent them opening properly. Maybe painting the wall a lighter shade of the current splashback or changing the window covering to something with pattern/colour might give you the lift you are looking for?

Hi Hu, I love the window in your kitchen, if you go white subway tiles a stack pattern would add a contemporary look and white grout would give a clean and stylish look and blend beautifully with any decor items you add.

The best way to cover dark is to use a grey tinted primer first. Talk to a paint specialist. Dulux on line may help
