That is a hard one with those tiles. I would have to think if you did a white, it would kind of work with the colour of your tiles. At the end of the day, they do need to be replaces, but as you said, due to budgeting reasons, you cannot, I can pass on this photo of a nice bathroom with those tiles for you though for inspiration... : )

Oh C'mon V Richards...every epoch has its treasures. B4 you make a mad run for it stop a while and consider the period and the reasons for the style...it can be extremely enlightening....unless its not the period you want to escape from but from some of the opinions. I spent many years of my youth outside of Australia living surrounded by old ruins in Europe. I forgot what it was like here. When finally I returned to Australia and found myself living in some of the 60s and 70s places..I found much to admire and wonder about. I may not have fallen in love with much of it but there was a certain mistique and a feel that I can still conjure when talking about certain places. Not saying that it was all romantic and pleasant but it conveyed something of the era and the kind of Aussie from those days.

Thanks everyone for your comments, they are great! Of course everyone will have different tastes and function that appeal to them, otherwise a designer would have a very boring job!! Its always been on my mind though. I made acrylic also as they were much cheaper than glass, but come with their own issues as they warp, scratch and deteriorate, especially if you use cleaning materials. As for prints, I did this and it is a very fine line. I have seen the most hideous designs, patterns and prints it breaks my heart. Prints can lift off the glass with the glue so be very careful with this process and get a 10 year warranty!! A waterfall image in the shower for example, looks great for the first day and to create impact, but after a month ? Selling a house with one of these gets very interesting as many try to calculate the cost to replace. Again, some will love it and go for it! Just think hard about the impact it has on the house. Also glass splashbacks have some issues with shattering, especially with companies offering inferior glass based on price. So check how your glass is made!! Thanks again and enjoy.

Hi Clikmania, i have just renovated my son's split level home and installed totally new kitchen, i chose black mirrored splashbacks with black benchtops, white drawer fronts and stainless steel appliances, your kitchen looks great and i think would look great with the black mirrored splashbacks also. I will add photos for you asap( the ones i have don't show up very well)
