Kitchen cooker splash back or tile all around?
Comments (14)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....See MoreKitchen splash-back or tiles?
Comments (16)Glass would look good - give you a little reflectance without mirroring everything on the worktop. Also could be a subtle way to introduce some colour. If you use clear glass with screw back type fixings, then you can change the colour now and then by painting the wall behind if you're nervous about colour, or think you would want to change the look now and then. Another option is a stainless steel, which again would add in a little light reflecting but in a grey tone that would work well with what you have....See Moreshould I tile splash back on new kitchen currently being installed?
Comments (9)Matching granite and up stands, lovely granite.

I do think however, that regardless of not wanting glass or tile, you do need something behind a hob....See MoreHorizontal or vertical tiles for splash back
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?...See Moreclairef09
