Hi, I've now had quartz worktops fitted in a white with grey and mirror flecks (compact lactea) & attach photos. Cabinets are all done too. My next area is what to do for splashback behind the hob/under the extractor. I originally wanted to do red glass across the length of the wall, but we have had under unit lights fitted below the higher cabinets and at night I can change these to any colour I want. If I do red all across I won't get the effect of the lights. Not even sure red would go? The wooden chairs are going and will be replaced & I still need to choose my island lights (thinking 3 pendants hanging). Husband thinks stainless steel sheet behind hob. I'm not sure this will look right with dark glass hob under it & wonder if it is hard to look clean all the time. What ideas do you all have as you helped with the worktops. I also show the dining table and the new open lounge area (intend to put a rug down). We also still need to find wall lights.

Hi rubydiffey, I agree with Kharis & Kale, a metro tile would be great using a couple of colours to create a pattern and some interest. There is another company that uses a slightly different shaped tiles to create a pattern in the tiles. You could add a second colour to it too if you wanted. http://www.rep-tiles.co.uk/ Let us know how you get on. The team at Modus Kitchens

If you're looking for a splashback feature that's easy to clean, durable but best of all different, have a look at what we can offer you. www.wallstothefloor.com Good luck with your project

As the overall height of tiles is quite low, I'd go for option 3, so you have the same level of tiles all around, which would look neater and balance the room more. Also, I think that by leaving the gap under the window, it may look like you either ran out of tiles or that the tiler wasn't proficient enough to cut around the window board. Aesthetically, it would look scrimped and somehow wrong to me - but that's just me, others may have a totally different take on it.
