Another Splashback Advice Request
Hi all, finally at the finishing touch stage of the kitchen and now need to pick a splashback.
I'm thinking glass rather than tiles, but not sure to add a pop of colour or stay with the grey but worried that would be too clinical.
Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated.

7 years agoYes, many of our client for for a glass splashback, therefore we would recommend choosing one as this would work really well with your contemporary kitchen.
You've chosen great colour choices for your door fronts, meaning that many colours would work well to add a 'pop' of colour to your kitchen!
Here is an example of one of our projects that have a similar colour palette to yourselves. The back wall is painted and there is also a glass splashback in the same colour behind the hob. Its bold, but works really well with the cabinetry and makes the space appear brighter and more inviting. A tip is that splashbacks can come in any colour and also can be matched to any paint colour, if you had a specific colour in mind.
White & wood effect matt kitchen with large island · More InfoColour choices we would suggest would be greens, blues or yellows. However if you did want to be more subtle a pale blue or green would work well. There wouldn't be anything wrong with sticking with grey, as it would obviously go with your worktop and flooring. By choosing to use a glass splashback this will help bounce light into the space, so if you went for a grey glass splashback, it wouldn't appear dull or 'clinical' at all!
Hope this helps!

Comments (20)Hi, if you want to inject some colour into your kitchen via the splashback you might like to think about an LED illuminated splashback. You can set it on one particular colour or set it to scroll through colours. You can also have a splashback with white colour temperature controllable LEDs in it if you prefer - this means you can switch it from warm white, to cool white to daylight depending on the effect you wish to create at any particular time of the day/evening/season. Do have a look at http://www.litetile.co.uk/portfolio/ to see the effect that can be created in a kitchen....See MoreAntique mirrored glass kitchen splashback
Comments (19)Toughened vs non-toughened have been a dilemma for kitchen owners for a while. The objective truth is that yes toughened glass is stronger and heat resistant, but due to significant price difference sometimes it makes sense to take risk and just replace mirror in case of breakage, which will still be cheaper than buying full toughened from the beginning, especially taking in consideration that non-tgh antique is stock product and you don’t need to wait for 2-3 weeks for production. If you are looking for simple coloured or printed glass, then definitely go for toughened since price difference is insignificant and it’s not only safer and heat resistant, but also 4-5 times stronger to impact which is good against accidental hits. The other important fact is that broken mirror can bring you bad luck for 7 years!:) so only choose professionals for your installation. We are now producing probably over 100 splashbacks per month with fair share of toughned mirrors so happy to help!...See More

7 years agoHello Michelle, you have a great kitchen. I think a warm colour splashback will make it cosier. If you are planning a glass splashback go for orange glass or transparent glass will th a print behind it. Metal would look good too, copper, brass sheet or tiles would pick the detail on you light pendants. Or go funky with colourful Mexican hand painted talavera or Moroccan tiles. Good luck! http://tumitiles.co.uk/orlando-105-cm-tile-141-p.asp
