The back splash is a natural stone tile available 12 X 12" called by some "Ocean Green". Here it was cut down to 6" X 6", the thought being the scale better.

Love the combination of colors between the cabinets and the backsplash. Also, wendydr, if you'd like an alternative, you might like these as well

Kitchen cooker splash back or tile all around?

We vote tiles! If it was my kitchen (and mostly because I'm a messy cook) I would be inclined to tile (or glass backsplash) anywhere that might need to be wiped down-e.g. behind cooker, along any counters where I might be doing any food prep. This gives you plenty of options-you could tile behind cooker and counters in metro/subway tiles, but be careful as it could look busy with the granite and wood grain of kitchen-it will depend on the grout. Alternatively, you could use big clean glossy tiles like this marble look above.

Thank you for all suggestions. Fiona that is a good idea also - i'll have a look around. I particularly love your idea Planetharrywood of the gradual effect! Do you know where I could buy something to replicate this? Love the micro cement idea as well - pity you don't live closer! DAG Inter - i LOVE the idea of mirrors but backed away from the idea after being told about how much it is likely to cost! I think i perhaps should get a real quote though. Is there any software or perhaps even websites with samples that i could order to try and mimic some looks? Finding it hard to wind down on a decision.

Horizontal or vertical tiles for splash back
Q
Comments (10)
I think vertical for a mid century look but horizontal would also look nice and run the same way as the upstand and shelves. it looks to be a non-rectified tile btw (?) so edges won’t be that crisp which also means a slightly wider grout line as the tiles won’t be identical in size. If you go for horizontal I’d just have the shelf slightly higher so 8 x tiles plus a minimum of 3mm grout allowing for tile size variation. Given the variation in size I’m not sure I’d opt for a dark grout?

Kitchen splash-back tiling dilemma

I agree with the builder, that work is shoddy and unprofessional and I would not be happy looking at that in my kitchen. It looks like a DIYer has completed it. In fact I call it a HUTH house! When I watch Homes Under the Hammer, often people buy a house and either do the work themselves or get their mates to refurbish and lots of them end up looking poorly finished for the low end rental market. Any chance that you could ask him to remedy the work though unlikely as you’ve already paid for it. Really sorry that this work was completed in this poor way.
