Tiles are one way to introduce some pops of colour in your kitchen. If you are worried about the grout discolouring, use epoxy grout which is more resilient to liquid staining. Also, if you use a coloured grout, discolouration will be less noticeable. If you choose textured tiles with rectilinear edges, grout lines are almost invisible. Using tiles can look more traditional compared to glass or stainless steel. The problem with stainless steel is keeping it looking good. Drip marks and grease are instantly noticeable. Glass is less obvious when splashed. They are both more industrial and modern looking. What about using the same material that makes up your worktop as the splashback? Most manufacturers of manmade worktops also do an 11mm thick splashback and upstand.

Kitchen splashback dilemma
Q

I don't believe there will be much difference in price between a glass splash back and stone. I believe the white metro tiles and grey grout (repeating the grout to the floor tiles) will work very well, and my preference would be a matt finish. Kitchen accessories and the oak shelf will avoid it looking too bland. Alternatively, you could opt to make a bold statement by using some of the wacky tile designs that are out there, but then I would suggest considering using a white shelf opposed to oak so the tiles take centre stage.

We’ve got a grey handle less kitchen and white metro tiles and ent for white sockets. I would still make that choice nearly two years after extending our kitchen.

I could be wrong but I think that the darker grouts perhaps suit the crisper tiles with sharper edges and thus thinner grout lines. The darker the grout, the more obvious it would look so a pale taupe colour may work. I would actually cement a few tiles onto a board and buy a bag of grout to test it out. Sounds like a faff but I honestly think grout makes or breaks tiling. Whatever you do , don't leave it up to the tiler.
