Kitchen splash back
Comments (7)Have you thought of mirrored glass. We rented a $2 million dollar penthouse and it had a dark grey smoked mirrored glass splash back on both sides of a galley kitchen. It was amazing. So easy to clean as no grout and optically it doubles the size of the room. I could also watch the TV and what the kids were getting up to in the reflection of the mirrors. It works both with modern and traditional applications and cost about the same as a coloured glass splash back. You could just go to a standard hight of an overhead cupboard then put some simple shelving (IKEA) up above it to display a few items on this would save you money on the glass and add some visual interest at eye level. I would also do a black chalk board wall behind the door near the fridge. You can get magnetic paint (Masters) If you do two coats of this first and then the black board paint (found Dulux to be the best) over the top it becomes a magnetic blackboard. I see you have a high chair and your kids would love it. Happy renovating....See MoreMirror or white glass splash back???
Comments (4)I love the mirror splash back, especially if you have a view you can see in the reflection. My aunt has one in her home in Balmoral. GORGEOUS view!! I am considering the same question. My major concern is how quickly the mirror finish could damage in the context of a coastal location. It is VERY expensive to replace, but mirrors do get damaged - but maybe not when suck against a wall. Advice / experience / recommendation much appreciated....See MoreSplash back for a white gloss kitchen with black benchtop
Comments (7)Hi Adriana, You can have whatever you want and works with your style. If you go with tiles then invest the extra money in epoxy grout that will make cleaning a great deal easier - regardless of what colour/style you go for. Dark grout with white tiles is quite modern and makes cleaning grout a little easier - personally, I don't favour it but that's just personal taste. I would check the ease of cleaning on any matt tile. To bring in warmth to your kitchen (as black and white can be a bit stark sometimes) look at bringing some colour in - even metallics in silver, bronze or copper or even opalescent tiles can be gorgeous and can also help bounce light in a subtle way back into your room while giving you a luxury look with depth and interest. Go to your tile supplier and ask for samples so that you can take them home and put them in the space and get a sense of how they'll work - sometimes the way they look away from the tile shop is completely different to how they look in the shop. Good luck!...See MoreTiles vs Glass splash back
Comments (10)When picking out colors I did have color consultant helping me and had the glass splash back winter calm picked out but now I would rather a tile. I was originally going for a sleek all white kitchen but decided to add the washed knotty laminex to the overhead cupboards but keep the rest white. I am having similar tone vinyl plank flooring through out kitchen and family room area. I was still thinking of a white tile???...See More- 7 years ago
