Kitchen splashback - help needed please!
Comments (24)Netty, firstly thank you for posting your question because we are stuck on splashback ideas also and the only difference between our kitchens is that you have opted for gloss on your cupboards and we have gone satin. We are currently waiting on our shi*take bench tops to be installed.... hopefully within the next week. After much googling, hubby has decided that he likes the glass bullet style in a neutral tone (much like the tile you have gone with but in glass obviously) and I am liking the bullet style tile also, just not sure whether glass or a mix of stone, glass etc would work. At least I know we are on the right track now, so thanks again! Can't wait to see a photo when your done (hint hint ;-) )...See MoreGlass splashbacks - yay or nay?
Comments (85)It must depend what you cook. I don't do fried, spitty type dishes and the grout around the largish tiles in my now 10 year old kitchen is as good as new. I rubbed car wax into the freshly laid grout lines, same as I did in the bathroom. It also depends on how much light bounces around your kitchen, glass being so reflective shows up smears with light on it. Just above the kettle in the first photo is a good example. Each to their own, I'm a non-glass girl whenever I can get away with it....See MoreSplashback ideas
Comments (24)Putting the final touches on our new kitchen and I find your post. I had the same dilemma about a week ago. What to do with off white cupboards? Bold or classic? Glass or tiles? Matt or gloss? In the end this is what I went with. Different but neutral. And it gave it a lift which I was happy with. In our old house we had a black glass splash back and the glass was the worst thing possible to clean! First clean and then buff and u could see every smear. It was exhausting but I hear lighter colours are easier to maintain. Whatever you choose go with your gut instinct. It's your house and only you have to really like it. Tiles were from national tiles about $110m2. Can't wait to see what you choose....See MoreShould we choose matte or gloss tiles for our splashback?
Comments (10)My vote is for matte as well. Especially in the bathroom. If the tiles are near the shower, the glossy ones seem to lose their shine to the soap scum and need constant cleaning like glass screens, whereas it doesn't seem to happen on the matte tiles which are quite easy to clean. The stove and the sink are really the only places needing a spashback in the kitchen and my vote would be for matte finish there, even if you use the same tiles in gloss every where else....See MoreCheng Lim
