Kitchen Splash back ideas
User

Can anyone help me with ideas for splashback for this wall?
The worktop is leathered granite (titanium), it's a little bit busier than it looks in this pic.
I would like something light and I love the all white look. I really love white geometric tiles like the pic below but not sure if this would work. The units and worktop are matt so I think I'd like something gloss/reflective. I would add colour with non permanent things, plants/pictures on other wall etc.
Also, i think I'd tile this whole wall because I don't have units all along the wall and I don't really want the exposed edge.
Finally, if any suggestions that are completely different to anything I've said here I'd still love to here them...I'm not totally set on any idea. The only look I don't want is shabby chic or anything too country kitchen.
I've added pic of the wall in question and also of tiles that I love but not sure if they would work together.
Thanks for help as always, don't think I've made one decision about this house without consulting on here first!!

Kitchen splash back
Comments (7)All the advice about glass and tiles as a splashback are pretty permanent so why not try some other solution. I've tried tektura which is flexible and if you get fed up with it take it down and change your design...See MoreIdeas for splash back ?
Comments (31)Hi. Still haven't found slash back yet. Seen nice patterned one in fire and Earth. But don't no will I love it down the line ... Plain I find easier to live with. Colour on back wall is farrow and ball dovetail I have it in utility and back hall ... It's so warm peaceful can look brown grey taupe depending on light. Try this place. CFC interiors. There's 3 in n. Ireland. They do more bespoke items. Newtownabbey store good. They do all harlequin romo curtains fabrics etc. They have some lovely items. Look at getting one made ?...See MoreKitchen 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 More

4 years agoI love the geometric tiles you have chosen. They will add pattern and interest without looking busy. Metro tiles are always a good safe option, but I much prefer your choice! Let's face it, if you like them, then have them. I chose glittery pale green mosaics in my kitchen, not everyone's choice, but I love them and I get lots of compliments.

4 years agoThanks to you both for feedback! I was hoping to find something a little bit different but still subtle, metro tiles are definitely a safe fall back. Not sure if it makes much difference but to get an idea of overall look, it is an open kitchen diner and I will have an upholstered button back bench, like pic below but with no arms, this Lombok table which is quite industrial and has a bit of geometry and probably something simple like eames style chairs. At some point I will get pendant lights for the breakfast bar, something simple like glass. Not picked them but pic below shows the sort of idea.
I know that all of this lacks colour at the mo but I'm planning on having a gallery wall above the bench, blinds, plants etc.
I can't change the bench or any of main kitchen (units/worktop).

4 years agoHi. The kitchen looks great, where did the fridge end up going?! I like the tiles, they will go with the units and the prism shape mirrors the table. I also like the idea of adding a different texture however I don't think the different shades of white work together (on my screen anyway!) so would look for a different shade of white . How big is the veining as choosing a different scale for the prism tile would work? You could also consider a grey grout. I'm not sure my pictures help but just showing a tile laid in a pattern with a veined worktop and sandwiching a black worktop with white units and tiles. I love the angel and boho bench, I've posted that so many times on here! These chairs aren't a wishbone and no longer available (!) but maybe a wishbone could work or something similar in shape? I might also paint the utility door in the wall colour to help it blend in?

4 years agoWell remembered Minnie101!! The fridge and freezer are side by side on the left side where the utility ends, they are integrated so not too 'sore' looking because they are technically at the end of the dining area.
I absolutely love the bench too, I have about another 3 weeks to wait for delivery, can't wait! Space is a little tight for dining area so wanted the bench so I could put it right against the wall.
I totally agree about the different white, I already have this problem with the units and the doors/skirting, I'll have a look at the other colours and see what I can do. Glad you think geometric could work though :)

They are easy to clean, which is the most important thing, as food and oil will get stuck in the tile grit. I I would go for a neutral or grey tone, however you can get patterned glass splash backs.

4 years agoHi Jones1987, yes totally, there is the dilemma of mirrored splashback.
I like the geometric tiles above from minnie101.
This was posted in a different design dilemma which I thought you may like possibly...
