Kitchen Splashback - Help Please!
Hi,
We recently redid our upper kitchen cabinets (as I was hating my kitchen) and need to choose a splashback asap. I'm having difficulty deciding and would love some advice.
I was initially thing a great marble carrara hexagon however hubby suggested plain white as we already have 3 different colours going on and thinks it will be too much, and I am thinking he is probably right.
So now am thinking plain white. Hubby would like white glass (no grout!) and I am thinking either white herringbone or white hexagon - most likely with white grout though possibly light grey.
What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated and I am open to other ideas. TIA. PS. Was also thinking of getting white sheers over the roller blinds to soften the look.

Kitchen splashback - help needed please!
Comments (24)Netty, firstly thank you for posting your question because we are stuck on splashback ideas also and the only difference between our kitchens is that you have opted for gloss on your cupboards and we have gone satin. We are currently waiting on our shi*take bench tops to be installed.... hopefully within the next week. After much googling, hubby has decided that he likes the glass bullet style in a neutral tone (much like the tile you have gone with but in glass obviously) and I am liking the bullet style tile also, just not sure whether glass or a mix of stone, glass etc would work. At least I know we are on the right track now, so thanks again! Can't wait to see a photo when your done (hint hint ;-) )...See MoreKitchen Splashback Ideas, please
Comments (43)You can always go with textured glass or slump glass,it has a more rustic look and doesn't look so modern as plain glass, it's much easier to keep clean too as it doesn't streak and there is no grout...we have a very traditional kitchen and it looks amazing,this is my laundry and is actually quite a vibrant purple with dragonflies on it because,in the laundry,why not? The kitchen is more nuetral.........See Moreneed help on splashback for kitchen

Comments (12)Hi Heidi, your Kitchen looks very now. I hope I can help with your concern about having a "green tinge" to your glass splashbacks if you use a light colour. There is a glass on the market which has been developed as a Low Iron glass, which has perfect clarity and allows light colours to be used without being distorted. (One brand name is called Opti-Clear Glass ) We recently put Designer White splashbacks in at Auldana for a client, where we also used a very fine metalic first coat under the glass which looks great when it catches the light. If you like the lack of grout lines that Glass offers and like its easy clean benefits but are concerned about the gloss of glass and prefer something different; then there is another large format sheet product on the market that you may like to consider called Neolith (see : https://www.cdkstone.com.au/surfaces-neolith/ ) This material has some 42 styles / colours / patterns which comes in a range of matte, textures and gloss finishes which can help add character and interest. Like Neolith the makers of Quantum Quatz also make a large format Porcelain thin sheet in a range of colours and testures which we use for Splashbacks called QuantumSix+. Hope this information helps.

9 years ago- 9 years agothanks for the advice. im adding daylight pics to help however its pretty dreary here in Melb so not a lot of light today to help. I think stone is probably a bit over the budget as we did our laundry cabinetry as well so dont want to push my luck with hubby
9 years agoThese may help you refine your ideas. I would use mid grey grout with white tiles though. I personally love the first photo the white herringbone.

9 years agoYour kitchen is not dissimilar to ours. Teak cupboards above, freestanding oven etc.
Photo below. Tiles are a bit bold but we love them. They come in lots of colours not just blackened white.

Wow! Thank you. Here I tried hexagon and herringbone backslashes. Please do not make decision based just on my pictures look, they are not so perfect. Depends on quality

Colleen Gibson thanked siriuskey - 9 years agoHi there, here's a couple of photos of our recently finished kitchen. The tiles are 15 × 7.5 cm and we used matching rather than contrasting grout, personal preferance. Very happy to have gone with the extra effort of the herringbone pattern.

PRO9 years agoI just removed a stainless steel splash back and replaced with on trend artisan tiles. Many different patterned tiles around. Glass has become quite dated now and you can easily seal your grout if worried. Herringbone also very popular with my clients.

Hi Lea R, We went a beautiful white italian stone tile that we laid in herringbone pattern. Its white but has soft grey veining it, and white grout. I loved so many of the bold suggestions but decided to go more subtle but I dont regret it. We've had it for about 18 months now and I still LOVE it! Do you have a post on your kitchen yet?
