kitchen splashback
Hi, I am having trouble with choosing a kitchen splashback. We installed a Hamptons (whisper white dulux) painted cabinetry kichen with pure cloud (essestone benchtop). benchtops have come out greyer than planned and we were going to go white subway but think it looks too much white/white and different shades of white......Purchased some grey subways and few large Carrera Tiles to see how they look. The Carrera tiles are 800 x 300. Samples are blue tacked on at the moment. Any opinions on the tiles .....we are confused as to whether to give edgy look or stick with classic. thanks Vicki

Kitchen 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 MorePressed metal kitchen splashbacks
Comments (17)Hi Jacey Eve, How is your splashback coming along? We are the manufacturers of the Pressed Tin Panels product (yes we sell it too - but believe we know what we are talking about- most of us who work here have a pressed metal splashback at home too!) I believe the great responses have covered what we would recommend for the panels as a splashback and that is the powder coating. It makes them a non-porous and easy to clean surface as well as a long lasting, good looking surface. With basic care it will remain that way for many,many years to come. We believe it is very competitively priced and an easy DIY product to install. If we can provide you (or anyone else reading this) a sample, prices, details of stockists, an install guide or a quote just let me know mardi@pressedtinpanels.com Visit our website for more info and ideas: www.pressedtinpanels.com Regards Mardi...See MoreKitchen splashback advice
Comments (23)I work in tiles all day. Glass and mirrored splash backs are on the way out. Texture is what everyone is chasing now. Lots of interesting textures and tile shapes coming in particularly hand made looks in gloss and mat. Maybe 150 x 75 mat laid in a herringbone style (45 degree) or black gloss or matt laid brick or h/bone with contrasting grout. For a modern look 600 x 300 size tiles with grooves in mat finish. Bright colours with black and cream such as red are great if you like them but if you plan to sell the majority of people don't seem to like bright colours in tiles and your colours are classic at the moment....See MoreKitchen splashback?

Comments (36)Forget subways, really overdone & can look so cheap. The more grout you have the more cleaning you'll have to do. It collects grime ( known in the trade as 'grotty grout' ) & is hard to maintain. Go for glass, the possibilities are endless, from sophisticated plain to funky patterned. Easy care & long lasting. Personalise your space, it looks really fab, love all your drawers, so practical ! Would love to see the end result. Please post pics....See More

5 years agoAgree with juliahocking that the tiles you have shown us look nice, but don't do your lovely kitchen justice. If you don't mind a bit of colour, perhaps steer away from the grey you have chosen and make more of a feature of the splashback and compliment it with great accessories (as per juliahocking first image). If going for white, I'd stick with a classic white subway, or choose an intersting shape/layout eg herringbone. Here are a few more images, just to confuse you. Sorry! Keep us updated please.

Vicki, I think the large Carrera tiles will look gorgeous with your benchtop, cabinets and timber flooring.

5 years agoMarble is classic and always fashionable in some form or another. I recently completed a kitchen also in a Hamptons theme and we used a narrow subway tile in white however I mixed a matt and gloss tile and this created a lovely shimmery effect as the light plays on it. Keeping it white allows you to accessorize with any colour in the future and it's amazing how a chopping board or bowl of fruit can add that punch of colour against a neutral backdrop. Being clever with the design and texture can make for an exciting interior and not cost the earth. Carmen from Collaborative Interiors
