Kitchen splashback advice
Comments (15)I have just chosen my kitchen and family room colours and decided to stick to white floors, cabinetry, green glass painted white splashback which gives a lovely soft green colour and shitake ceaserstone benchtops. Once this is installed I will bring in colour with vases and accessories. Main concern is any colour you bring in will date quickly and you will get tired of it. if you keep it simple you can dress it up. It is a huge decision so chose carefully, your kitchen specialist is always a good guide, listen to their suggestions. Good luck....See MoreKitchen splashback advice
Comments (23)I work in tiles all day. Glass and mirrored splash backs are on the way out. Texture is what everyone is chasing now. Lots of interesting textures and tile shapes coming in particularly hand made looks in gloss and mat. Maybe 150 x 75 mat laid in a herringbone style (45 degree) or black gloss or matt laid brick or h/bone with contrasting grout. For a modern look 600 x 300 size tiles with grooves in mat finish. Bright colours with black and cream such as red are great if you like them but if you plan to sell the majority of people don't seem to like bright colours in tiles and your colours are classic at the moment....See MorePainting Kitchen Tile Splashback - thoughts & advice
Comments (1)Hi Emma, You can get the splashback tiles professionally sprayed, this will give a good quality finish and since it's only a small area it shouldn't be too costly. I'm sure there will be a number of company's in your area that will be able to come out and the work for you. There is the DIY version but this is the one where people can have issues with the finish. Best of luck, MKG...See Moresplashback advice please!

Would you consider metallic-finish tiles? That would tie in with the metal kickplate & other metal surfaces. It would give contrast without added colour.
It would remain in the 'neutral' zone that helps this kitchen seem so relaxed.
It would also reflect colours to give variety.
You can then play with accessories for a colour change as the mood takes you!
