Kitchen Window Splash Back Dilemma

Looking for Creative/Smart/Practical - Solutions
Our window looks out to the street is 2700x510 we have been told that a roller blind would need to be a fair size to accommodate a window of the width and would look big and bulky as the window reveals are narrow.
The window is bench height with a induction cooktop and sink - there is 200mm between cooktop and window/splash back
HELP

Comments (3)What sort of floors do you have? What shape is your kitchen and where is the fridge? I think an all black kitchen is most suited to a large space with a lot of natural light. If you have that it will be fine. :) In a small space without natural light, it may look dark and the black gloss may be a little overwhelming. If you have a kitchen with a defined back wall, another wall to the left/right and an island, you might want to put the gloss fridge and cupboards all down the side wall and on the island, and use a contrasting colour for the other cupboards. Perhaps a timber or grey timber look laminate and off white to warm up the space and bring in a bit of light. Depending on what you do and do not like as well as what is going to be reflected, a mirror splash may bring in a little more light as well. Goodluck with it all....See MoreWhat are peoples thoughts on window splash backs?
Comments (17)I love the idea of your cupboards 'floating' between two windows. OK, thinking about the whole privacy issue, let's treat it a bit like a risk assessment... I gather we're talking about the side of the house, gap, fence, gap, neighbour's wall. Concentrating on the splashback window, it seems there are two issues, the neighbour looking in from their window and a random peeper. It seems to me the probablity of the neighour looking in is fairly high, more from useage, rather than deliberate spying. The consequence, lack of privacy. What controls can you put in place: solid wall (no window), screen along fence to minimise sight line (probably fairly easy, depends on fence), smart glass (expensive), blinds (aesthetics and practicality/cleaning issues). Residual risk/issues is a bit hard to quantify, as it really comes down to would you be comfortable in your own home with the lights on and the control/s in place. Moving on to the Random Peeper, which to my mind the likelihood is a lot lower. Consequence is the same as above, so IMO has a lower ranking. Controls: Barrier as in a fence or gate to reduce easy access (should be fairly straight forward), smart glass and blinds as above. Residual risk, as above.

Comments (8)What a beautiful piece of stone on your island benchtop! We could recommend a subtle and plain splashback for your kitchen. This will allow your stunning island benchtop to be the show stopping piece in the space. If you prefer tiles to glass consider a simple white subway tile laid in a classic horizontal pattern as opposed to herringbone. Good luck and don't forget to share some completed photos with us with its all finished....See Moreprivacy glass in window splash Back?
Comments (4)Hi, I think this is a perfect solution. With obscure glass you get the light but not the view. This would look fine. Depending on your design of kitchen you could incorporate some art into glass. Obscure or privacy glass is the best option, or you could use frosted film for an economic solution....See Morejuliahocking

6 years agoHi Lucy, a couple of photos, but yours wouldn't be as tall. without seeing the outside wall that your kitchen and garage share it's difficult to exactly say what is best, but saying that I think this style would really do the job and add a wow factor to the front of your lovely new house and kitchen cheers
