Splash back for a white gloss kitchen with black benchtop
8 years ago
Hi all,
I'm in the process of picking the splashback for my new kitchen.
It's going to be a white gloss finish with a black benchtop.
I'm thinking on tiles, and I want it to make the kitchen inviting and cozy and not clinical or boring.
So what kind of tiles should I pick? I was thinking of white subway tiles with dark grout, but I'm not sure if it goes with the "modern" feel of the kitchen.
What about finish does it needs to be matt finish as the gloss is already shinny and reflect a lot o light?
I do like mirror splashback but I'm not sure if it's wise to use it because of the gloss finish.
I have one wall behind the stove that only has the rangehood (nothing else) the area is about 2.5 (W) x 1.5 (H) so it's a big area and I want it to have tiles to the ceiling.
I promise to come back and post a photo of the kitchen once installed!!

Splash back for kitchen , what colour tiles and size
Comments (4)Hi Sue, I think it would look amazing if you used some tiles with a bit of texture. The wood look tiles that are popular at the moment would be an example. If you chose a colour that toned in with your floor you would get a really nice cohesive look but with a bit of interest. I've attached a photo of a recent design of mine as an example. Just a suggestion!...See MoreBest timeless splash back for a modern kitchen in a heritage home

Comments (9)You could paint the doors white to make them feel more contemporary. They would be solid timber so would be good quality. The varnish on the wood tends to yellow over time. So if you wanted to keep the wood - you could strip back and revarnish in natural colour or even go darker, such as chocolate for a more dramatic effect. I would recommend repalcing the tiles with a subway tile which is really popular at the moment. Then choose a stone to suit. Here is a great grey subway we have used although here are some examples of the subway tiles we have been using. A lovely mottled grey in the bathroom and white for the kitchen looks great. So dark timber stained cupboards with a white tile or grey and then a white Caesarstone with a fleck through it or even the new look grey marble effect ones would look great. Good luck....See Morematte or gloss subway tiles for kitchen splash back
Comments (7)Rose213, your 3D picture is showing a much smaller tile than you have mentioned. they appear as maybe a 75 X 150mm tile, which is your traditional subway size. from the choices given, I would choose the 75x300 tile in gloss. The light will bounce off the tiles and be a feature....See More
