Help with kitchen window splash back in kitchen
Hi, I am hoping someone may be able to help me.
My builder put in window reveals around our splash back window and it looks terrible, it still has to be painted but it is not what we wanted . The builder doesn’t do elevations of your kitchen, laundry, bathrooms etc, you only get a cabinet makers sketch. I have attached plans that we received, our floor plan wasn’t updated to reflect our kitchen plans, the builder said they don’t need to do that.
I went to the cabinet makers and they suggested to remove the reveals and add stone it’s going to cost $4,260 to do this which is expensive.
Any suggestions ?
these last photos are what I thought we were getting.

Splash back for kitchen , what colour tiles and size
Comments (4)Hi Sue, I think it would look amazing if you used some tiles with a bit of texture. The wood look tiles that are popular at the moment would be an example. If you chose a colour that toned in with your floor you would get a really nice cohesive look but with a bit of interest. I've attached a photo of a recent design of mine as an example. Just a suggestion!...See MoreKitchen splash back ideas needed urgently!!!
Comments (2)To comment I'd need to see a pic centred on stovetop and Anor centred on sink to see if can just splash back those areas without anything in between...See Morekitchen splash back ideas
Comments (2)Hi Nathan, I worry by introducing another colour, it might wreck the overall aesthetics to your kitchen. My initial thought was a white subway tile with dark grey grout so it’s drawing the grey/darker tones from your floor tiles & wall colour - while still lightening things up with the white tiles. You can always use colour with accessories to bring some spunk into your space :)...See Morekitchen back splash
Comments (2)I suppose the question is "What are you going to do with the untiled wall?". Will it just be painted plasterboard? If you do decide to just go with the 200mm tiled splashback you will need to be very careful with your tile selection with the sizing and how the edge of tile looks. You should probably select a 200mm tile, as you don't want a cut, half tile in the space between the window sill and benchtop. Some glazed, ceramic tiles also have messy edges, so make sure that your tile selection looks as good from the edge, not just the front, as you will be looking down on the top edge of the tile. Or allow for a tiling edge strip to conceal the edge, but these always make the space look visually busier. With so much happening in your kitchen with the open shelves etc, I would suggest a plainish, neutral tile and tile up to the ceiling for a cleaner, more streamlined look, that doesn't need maintenance and repainting in ten years time. Open shelves often look better against tiles. By tiling to the ceiling there is no exposed tile edge to look messy, which gives you a wider choice of tiles.

PRO4 years agoHi Megan, I suspect that once you paint the Reveals and Architrave the same colour and texture as your Aluminium frame (or colour of your cabinet door faces) this will blend together and disappear into the background.
Hope this helps, Malcolm.
