Backsplash or tile in a kitchen?

6 years ago

Which do you prefer ? We have a narrow kitchen that currently has tiles. My other half wants backsplash behind the cooker with tiles everywhere else. I prefer tiles all over.

Hate tiles. I like to see an upstand and a splashback just behind the hob area.

Mines T&G everywhere except behind the cooker - which is a stone effect ! ( not much help - sorry !)

It's personal opinion although I wouldn't have tiles & a backsplash of a separate material, unless perhaps the backsplash is the same as the worktop.

Just an update on the backsplash dilemma that I had...I finally managed to find something nice and worthwhile. My dad and I did the tiling which was a steep learning curve as I never did this before in my life. But its an amazing feeling when you do something and it works out well in the end.

An upstand sits on the worktop and is around 4" high. A splashback normally fits behind the hob area to prevent splashes ruining the wall. You can have one or both fitted.

The dark colour. To the best of my knowledge it was discontinued many years ago. You post is confusing to me. What exactly are you looking for ... the doors or something else?

Hi Tashmina, I like the tile, however I would like to see how you intend to incorporate this with your kitchen? What colour is it? Is it a modern or more traditional kitchen?

it's personal preference but, I'd have a splashback with no tiles. It's looks much more seamless, with no grout lines to worry about- very easy to clean. You could opt for a coloured glass splashback or the same design as the worktop.

Depends on the kitchen. Can’t say which I prefer in general.

Personal preference. I love tiles so I am biased.

I'd probably prefer to use one material. It might help if you could upload kitchen plan, style/colour of cabinets plus tiles and splashback though?

Hi Rosie,

It's entirely down to personal preference and the style you're going for. A contrasting backsplash can create a nice focal point and add extra interest if you opt for plain tiles. Tiles are always classic though, and you could play with laying patterns and sizes to help make your kitchen feel wider and more spacious.
