Help me choose subway splashback tiles!?
Comments (25)No to the grey - your wall seems to have a green tinge in them, so I would say either green/grey or a warm white tile with darker grout. If you choose the right grey/green, it is a classic look so shouldn't date. If you are a bit scared to choose colours, why don't you get a couple of warm white sample tiles and put where the splash back will go. You will soon see if it looks too stark....(maybe another idea, but possibly not a good one - why don't you see if you can put a few pages from a blank sketchbook in the whole area where the splash back will go (not super white white, but a warm white). That could also possibly highlight how stark (or not), the white may look. I can see what design tank is saying, as your cupboards appear to be more cream than white in the photos and if this is the case, then I agree the white will most likely look too stark. My cupboards in kitchen were white (but a warm white not a cool white). The stone bench tops also have the little speckles of stone in them..I can't remember the colour Ocean foam/Osprey.......but even with those colours and them not being cool whites, I thought the white tiles looked too stark against them. I therefore went for a glass splash back and ever since I then went to think of designs for my bathroom renovation, I constantly regret going with the glass in the kitchen and modernising the house too much..........definitely don't do glass if you are wanting to keep a classic charm to the house. In a long winded way, I think yes, I also think you should just stick with the grey/green. It will make a statement. Not the right shade...but another example....it may be hard getting the colour of the tile exactly right given that the walls are already painted and the tiles need to match....See MoreHelp ideas for Splashback in new kitchen, please.
Comments (4)We recently did a splash back in our new kitchen using 41 x 41 mm square stainless still tiles from a company in Western Australia called ALLOY. They look amazing and everyone comments on them. They make tiles out of lots of different metals and in larger (and smaller) sizes....See MoreSplashback help please!
Comments (8)Hi Natalie, I like highly polish white texture tiles, not flat ones. Pick a nice polished tile with waves or angles and may be add some highly polished mosaic. The light bounces off them and give's an expensive elegant look. I like this idea around the range you could put some small timber shelves (on one side of range or both) in either veneer or laminate, the timber bulk head looks good too. I love the clean look of white / grey and the honey colour timber....See Morefloor, bench, splashback - help! :)
Comments (4)Ok but check again what you’ve got - hex tiles will be above what ? Sink stove or benchtop. How do they go with vivid white cabinetry? Visually in kitchen you’ll see the bench against wall paint or splashback but vertically mostly splashback against cabinetry with just horizontal line of bench so Grey you’ve chosen prob good contrast. Re tiles you have to change are they laundry tiles or are they fixed? I don’t think benchtop in laundry and kitchen have to match just blend so could have white bench in laundry and Grey in kitchen ESP if laundry will be dark. But as you don’t really see bench against floor it don’t really matter if both Grey. In one unit I had ceasarstone urban grey kitchen benchtop with laminate polar white cabinetry and Grey floor tiles which extended into laundry but darker Grey laminate bench in laundry and looked very stylish...See Moresweetsofparadise2659
