5 years agoI don't know what a wave tile is without seeing a picture, but I can imagine, and yes it would be too modern. For a shaker style kitchen you should consider a subway tile as being classic and elegant, and not draw attention away from your cabinetwork.

Comments (64)Hi again, Lorraine here, I looked closer at your pictures of the area. I also noted your comment regarding "what if" you re do your kitchen. So, we all can do that and then time tics away and we dont do anything and frustration sets in as you really just want to change the things you have been looking for many years. The picture you have taken tonings from is very near your kitchen. the chairs to the table are the most pronounced of the colour you are seeking. Around the larger part of the room there are only little touches of the tone you like. Your rooms are very light with the blinds up. So I think the kitchen can take darker colours. Like the very deep grey outline of the fishes or the deep blue/grey in the painting or colour of the chairs. Laminex limed cement is a wonderful deep colour and will bring the benches alive. Then with removing the heavy door handles and seeing if you can use the push and clip fittings - you wont have any door handles but use a neater steel looking knob for your drawers or brushed steel handles on cupboards if you cant get the push and clip things inside. Paint the front board looking into the lounge and the cupboards a deep grey/blue colour to fit with the, mid deeper colour in the painting and the outline of the fish and the red will fit in nicely. Keeping your blinds up allowing the light in more than not will bring the room to life. Take out the floor runner. Do you use your stools? with the table right there are the stools necessary? if not take them away and ensure that area of the cupboards at front is painted - this gives a clearer area defining "kitchen". hope this helps Loz...See MoreWhich kitchen splashback?
Comments (22)I too would recommend a coloured or decorative patterned tile for your splashback. At least use grey and not white, to give some interest, otherwise your new kitchen will risk looking too pale, bland and boring. With plain walls and cabinetry, the splashback is the perfect way to add some personality....See Morepurchie
