Splashback help
Hi, we recently renovated our kitchen and i am having so much trouble choosing a splashback. We left oven stack/ pantry as is. Need help choosing colour/style. We need to repaint the pantry door and shoppers entrance door because they look green. Was going to use same stone as bench but worried will look too white. (See what it looks like vertical in photo) there is also another tile in photo which i think looks too dark. Confused because splashback in 2 different place and worried it looks all over the place. Need to make decision quickly. Opinions appreciated! The floor is pinkish.

Splashback help!
Comments (26)Hi Kate, I have to agree with you, I absolutely hate that mint green so I feel for you that it just doesn't suit your colour scheme irrespective of how much others suggest this green and blue might go together, personally I don't like blue either so I might not be much help there ha-ha I do think the suggestion of placing a mirror over the splashback could be the best option so that you don't run the risk of damaging any part of the kitchen trying to remove it and I think a mirror could look amazing, catch the light and obviously make the room look bigger too. Good luck. Barbara...See MoreSplashback help - mirror or grey?
Comments (8)Are you thinking a solid grey acrylic splash back or smooth metal finish? I think mirror would get my vote over both of those.... although cleaning may become an issue for you? I think the stone for both countertop and splash back gets my vote too :) Beautiful. Check out some of the Houzz articles/stories on splash backs.... great advice and inspiration pics that may help with your decision....See MoreKitchen Splashback HELP!!!
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.

Comments (11)Ceasarstone recommend that you do not use their products as a splashback behind a gas stovetop unless you have a 200mm gap between the edge of the stovetop and the splashback due to the heat. If you change to an electric or induction cooktop then this distance can be reduced to only 50mm. If you are using a stone-look benchtop, such as the ones that you have mentioned, I would NOT go for a stone look printed on glass for the splashback as the reflectivity is higher with the glass and it will look fake. I would suggest tiles or a glass splashback that is a consistant colour, possibly matched to the veining of the grey in your benchtop which will complement your benchtop (which is the feature of your kitchen), and not distract from it. Matt black tapware and sinks are very on-trend, and when the fashion passes in about 18 months they will start to look dated. Classic chrome and stainless steel is timeless, so your choice really depends on how long until you put your house on the market...

6 years agoHi Kelly,
I think everyone has given great advice, I just love these tiles and I think they could look beautiful in your kitchen, will pick up oven and fridge and look a real feature

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think i just want to do something pretty plain. Our floor is crazy and i liked a lot of the ideas, but they seemed to clash with floor. What do you think of the large concrete look tile? Is it too matt looking? The colour seems to go best with the bench, or that sort of shade. In the sunlight my benchtop looks quite yellow over there. Thoughts? Still too dark? Can i seal the tiles to make them not lookso matt. Thanks

5 years agoThanks everyone i found 2 tiles i dont mind. Tiles are cheap and i might not love it but wont hate it. Hopefully i will get my way and change the floor! Can change in a few years if needed. Would love a darker colour if splashback was a larger one and wrapped around the kitchen more. The final decision is between the middle tile or broken tile on right. Opinions between the 2?
