Personally I think there it too much of the same wood colour going on (door, walls, worktop and floor). What about light grey walls with no splashback to the window side and mirrored splashback to all of wall opposite it? Reflect the light from window

Hi there, stunning kitchen by the way! We also think that glass might be the way to go, as it will also help reflect some beautiful light into the kitchen.

Your kitchen looks beautiful Suresh, nice lights too! Similar would look great Sarah, or a prehaps be a shade braver with a splash of bright colour

I think a mirrored splashback would suit the space nicely and gives the effect of a bigger space. We often use it to great affect in smaller kitchens like below;

Personally, I think an upstand AND a splashback would be too heavy. Glass by itself should be fine, as always though - be careful with the colour you choose as you will have to live with it for a long time. Tiles don't work well in these sort of kitchens - because 1) your kitchen is handless and not shaker or cottage style and 2) the grout between tiles tends to become discoloured with time. If you were simply to paint the area you would have to re-fresh it every year or so as the splashes would ruin the finish. I would say glass is the best option, and as I mentioned earlier - no need for an upstand because aesthetically it is heavy, and practically glass is very easy to clean after cooking..

I have visited our glass splash back suppliers factory last week and filmed a VLOG where we talk A-Z of glass splash backs. Watch it, it might be helpful.

Hi Sarah

The beauty about the kitchen you have gone for, contemporary white units with natural wooden worktops and floor means that there are lots of options open to you for your splashback in terms of colour palette especially if you opt for glass.

Or, have you considered something slightly more adventurous in terms of a printed design. We have been helping a customer in London recently who has been in a similar situation - not quite sure which way to go. He sent us an image that he liked and we visualised how the design might translate to his new kitchen (please see images above) to give him an idea of the finished look before making a decision.

If you would like us to help you out in the same way and have a design in mind we would be happy to do so. We have an arrangement with www.depositphotos.com where you can search, browse and choose from over 50 million designs and images. It might be worth taking a look.

The cost for supplying the 2 Toughened Glass Splashbacks in this case worked out at around £300.

Please let us know if we can be of any help.

Kind regards,

Richard

£300 for those splashbacks sound pretty reasonable to me, I've heard prices that much just for plain coloured ones.

We agree. We cannot understand why some suppliers charge as much as they do. We all use the same 6mm low iron, toughened glass with polished edges. The Glass we use is from Pilkington.
