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 my kitchen
Comments (7)Hi Woodjay, I would go neutral with pops of colour in accessories. You have lovely rural views so you could bring in greens in herbs and fruit etc and change around as you like. I like what you have done already, just need the tiles and suggest you get the tiling showroom to show you how to lay them. Take print outs of these photos in A4 size to show them.

Comments (70)Awesome!! Actually macymacmaples, the mirror will date more than the white glass. My cupboards will be white handleless polyurethane...and I'm gonna choose Ceasartsone Calacatta Nuvo as my benchtops :) hagan - My painter (which is my cousin) lol, also wants me to do vivid white ceilings..but I'm thinking of just keeping it the same and doing Natural white ceilings too as I don't like contrast...I prefer it to all blend....Dunno yet tho, will keep u updated ;)...See MoreBest timeless splash back for a modern kitchen in a heritage home

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.

2 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.
