Im looking for advice and ideas on a kitchen splashback. I like scandi minimalism but want a practical material thats heat resistant and easy to clean!!!

I'd leave it white but I'd never be able to cook!

Hello Stevie, Very stylish.. Well what about this idea.. You keep it white and add a transparent glass splash back or even transparent subway tiles.... It stays the colour you want but you add an element that can be wiped clean.. You can fit a glass panel with cutouts round the sockets or tile round them with clear glass tiles.. .. : ))

I'd go with a glass spash back in a colour of your choice.

Just to offer a different view point. Your floor tiles look amazing. Why not flow the idea through and use tiles of that ilk as your splashblack. We have just recently finished a kitchen with a similar feel and our client opted for patterned wall tiles as their splashback. Based on your comment about the floor being chosen to banish boredom If you are worried about carrying through more of the same tones and want to inject colour, you could always do this through your accessories, that way if you fancy a change.... The colour tones you have chosen provide a great canvas on which to complement or have fun with colour.

I think the kitchen will look great with the updates, the cabinets look good to me. I would however remove the 2 glass fronted ŵall cabinets. "Old hat" but why not grey for the cabinets as it ties in with the blinds in the living room? For the worktop have you also looked at the marble effect Quartz as its classic and should never date. Rather than tiles have an upstand and a splashback for the hob in the Quartz. Or if you want the wow, go for clear glass and have wallpaper underneath or commissioned art or silver leaf etc or even just a tiled splas hack. I also like your choice btw, i wouldn't pay attention to the kitchen company, it's your kitchen! Perhaps continue it down the side of the breakfast bar? have you considered cup handles? I love them and they give a contemporary or classic look to a kitchen. Maybe look at adding just a few green accessories to tie in with the blue?

Hi Katrina, We've just finished a project in a new build apartment that had a very similar grey glass splash back, the client wanted something lighter and more glamorous so we suggest these lovely bevelled glass tiles with an eglomise/ aged patina by Fired Earth; AFTER BEFORE Have fun choosing!

Your kitchen has some great wall space area. If you chose a splashback, it could act as a subtle addition to your space, or depending on the colour you choose it could lift the space with an accent hue. I wanted to suggest if you would be interested in considering our splashbacks as an option to complete the look of your interior. Please take a look at our website: www.alusplash.com AluSplash® is an aluminium-based kitchen splashback and interior wall panel, which is an ideal alternative to glass, acrylic and tiled splashbacks. Offering a high gloss look-and-feel at a fraction of the cost, AluSplash is affordable, easy to install, clean and maintain. AluSplash is not only fire-resistant and safe to use behind all popular cooktops, but as it is grout free, it's a lot easier to clean!

AJ & Paul, thank you both. I take it the glass splashbacks are specialist glass because of the location. Can you recommend any good suppliers?

As far as I am aware the glass spash backs are widely available from a number of suppliers.

Good luck

It would look great with the glass on white. I also like the square white tile. So European.

i would go for glass, however those socket positions is both inconvenient and unusable in relation to the up stands, i would suggest a little baton to bring the glass in line with the upstands, you will find that plugging something in to the socket with the cable pointing downward is virtually impossible as the up stand prevents the plug from fully inserting.

you can have full height glass splashback and half height to save on cost, both look great. I am using a company called GoGlass in cambridge which have lots of colours to use and also they can colour match if you want a particular colour
