Sorry, I don't know how to load a photo, but the finished tiles look just like the Ladbroke Trc pavers above only it was done with poured, coloured concrete and then cut and grouted to make it look like pavers, hence no weeds ever! We had it done a terracotta colour which looks great. The sides were done as a wooden retaining wall with stairs up to the higher level of lawn, also done in the concrete. The advantage of concrete opposed to decking is that you never have to think about again as it doesn't rot like decking does after a few years and have to be replaced. It make cost a little more initially, but long term it's really worth the money. We finished off the top of the retaining wall with buxus hedging, but you could put flowers or whatever you fancied there. The concrete trucks have long hoses which can pump the concrete a long distance to the back of your house so no worries there. Hope that helps. Good luck.

I agree! Go for what you love. Down the track at resale time, if you feel it's too dated then, there are many splash back materials that can be applied right over top of tile. Is it just the area behind the cook top that will be tiled? I think anything will feel like "too much" at first if you've become accustomed to how it currently is. It's like when you paint a room. It can feel overwhelming at first until you begin to put furniture and decor back in place. A simple way to trial colours is to tack up some wrapping paper, fabric, contact paper (backing left on) or whatever you find that has a colour you think could work. Try use things with different sheen/gloss. Even paint a board and prop it there. Leave for a few hours and see what does and doesn't work for you.

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???

Hi Tanya, kitchen designers do mix Splashback materials from time to time, especially when this is what a client likes. All types of materials can be blended; you just need to consider their serviceability for their position, their colours to compelment the overall design and then plan their junctions beforehand so these all look and work best together. The distinct advantage of Glass splashbacks are that they have no course grout lines and so are not there to stain and discolour whereas Glass Splashbacks are really easy to keep clean and always looking their best. I know this is not what you asked but have you considered using all Glass where Glass with its benefits can also be printed on the back (instead of just a solid colour) so can be printed to look like tiles, but can also look like timber, stainless steel or even marble or granite; and done at a much lower cost to these later materials. Hope this helps, Regards. Malcolm
