Splashback advice please
Comments (23)Hi Sheila 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!...See MoreAdvice on splashback colours
Comments (3)I would go for high gloss black tiles. I know you said natural light is low but you can get black tiles with such a high gloss they reflect a lot of light. The black would look dramatic....See MoreGlass Splashback Removal - Advice Needed
Comments (6)Hi Tiah Perhaps this is an opportunity to look at your kitchen in a different way before you go though the complications of glass removal (although damaged plaster can be fixed). Concrete look tiles with those grey cabinet doors could end up looking quite dull. The reason the lime green was installed in the first place was probably to throw some life into a dark corner. If you were absolutely wanting to lose the green, consider getting a glazier to install a smoked mirror splash back - it will tie in with the existing cabinetry and also get some light reflections into the kitchen. But before I would do that I would play with the green - consider the opportunity to bring a more botanical look into the space. Jewel-like bottle greens in the form of potted plants and bright aqua accessories will counteract the "lime factor". top it off with some black stools and some bamboo accessories and the space could feel quite uplifting. It's a cheap and cheerful option to play around with anyway. Good luck!!...See MoreKitchen Design Splashback and Stone Advice
Comments (11)I think the look you are going for is gorgeous! But I admit that I too am surprised your considering a smoky mirror splashback if you dislike glass? But again, it all depends on the vision you have for your kitchen. As Dr Retro has wisely pointed out, depending on what is opposite, will depend on what you're reflecting... or, what you have on your kitchen bench and if you want to see it doubled. I think in certain applications, smoky mirror splashbacks can look really beautiful but if you're not fond of glass, why not start with a material that you love and go from there? I have developed a bit of a thing for Southern Cross Ceramics and all the different tiles they have available - in beautiful colour tones, patterns.... aaaaah it's hard to make a decision! It doesn't need to be a dark colour if that is not where you heart lies, but some soft muted colours could work beautifully. I also saw a designer recently laid I believe it was a mix of matt and gloss white subway tiles in a herringbone formation (correct me if I'm wrong anyone??) so that it had a little twinkle here and there... it looked beautiful. As much as I love a mostly white kitchen, I think a little colour & texture that compliments your marble would be a great way to go.I even saw some silver/copper foil looking tiles as part of a splashback to give a kitchen that bit of glam. Before you commit to smoky mirror splashback, maybe have a look at some other options that will compliment your style and see if anything else grabs you :) Good luck....See MoreMeera Gupta
