Splashback dilemma
10 years ago
I've lived in this apartment since September, but, despite completely restyling the rest of the place, haven't done anything about the kitchen. Originally I was thinking of replacing the kitchen, but I'm not sure I want to spend the money on that rather than, say, a great holiday. I put up a couple of pictures to act as splash backs, but I think I really need something more permanent. But what? The cupboard doors are in zebrano and offwhite, the work surfaces are black, the floor is a really nice warm oak. Any ideas?

Splashback help!
Comments (53)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....See MoreStill struggling with tiles or splashback!
Comments (6)upstands look good if they are only 100mm, walls must be completely smooth to paint, a splash back is a must behind a cooker either a coloured glass or a small tile as a splash back. Make sure you use a kitchen/bathroom paint on the walls and seal the upstands with a top quality mastic after painting at the top of them and your walls. Any excess mastic can be removed with wet wipes....See MoreChoosing paint colours!
Comments (18)Sal, Your kitchen looks beautiful! Its such a pain having to choose colours but I guess its definately worth it at the end. Going to order some test pots today and try as suggested. I like the feel mellow mocha gave to your kitchen - bounces back light and the contrast on the other side of the wall - the copper blush! Looking at doing something similar but want whatever colour I choose to flow through our lounge (its open plan) without 'breaking' the feel- if you get what I mean! Thanks, will defo post pics once done....See MoreKitchen splashback dilemma...
Comments (15)This is ours, standard upstand and large piece of quartz behind the cooker. In hindsight, and if budget allowed, we would have the upstand higher up like your image, perhaps to the bottom of our wall cupboards. We find the cooker splashed onto the paint as does the sink. We used the same paint as we have elsewhere in the house which you can normally wipe down but for some reason the finish on the kitchen means we have real trouble doing this, so we’ll have to repaint periodically....See More

Hi I think if you go for coloured glass something like the one we did for our client to match your off white and zebrano cupboards would look very elegant and effective...
