Kitchen splashback
8 years ago
I’m considering adding a painted glass splashback above the quartz upstand either side of the cooker, but im worried it will look too busy as there is a quartz panel behind the cooker Plus 2 double sockets.
The problem is there is not just a single run of units as shown in the photos. It also incorporates an area which hides a boxed in pipe that sticks out and I’m not sure whether it will look odd if we don’t include that area too. i hope the photos give a better idea of what I mean.
the alternative is to paint the area in a durable paint.
advice gratefully received! Thank you.

Advise on kitchen splashback / tiles please
Comments (28)Pity you have decided against glass in favour of tiles. We have just done our kitchen and I wanted an easy-to-clean surface for the splash back, so the rough surface of grouting around tiles, and also the indentations on some patterned tiles (which collect grease and grime) ruled them out for me! I went for glass, which the manufacturers matched exactly to the duck egg paint colour on the other walls (just gave them a product code of the paint), and although the initial outlay for the glass was expensive, the surface is so brilliant to keep clean and it looks fab as well. I would definitely recommend, and you could match it to, say, your lovely pink/purple ceiling lights ......See MoreHelp! Kitchen splashback ideas
Comments (14)Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions. I've ordered some samples: https://tileweb.co.uk/globe-25x75-gris-gloss-glazed-ceramic-tile.html and https://tileweb.co.uk/globe-25x75-blanco-gloss-glazed-ceramic-tile.html Both are gloss and tend to reflect the light, these 2 tiles were picked mainly for their pattern and size at 25x75 to cover the overall 48cm height of the splashback, I'll see how they look like with my layout. I also liked the splashback of the first picture sent by Sonia, which company was that from? As Lynn suggested, a darker silver grey colour or any darker grout matching the same tile, or even no grout at all would be my choice. For now, I wish you all a Happy new year. Thank you again :) Fab...See MoreKitchen splashback ideas??
Comments (13)Would you consider a mirrored splash back running from the sink to the hob but frame it with tiles. Maybe a neutral subway tile. This would definitely bounce some light through the kitchen and allow you to see what’s going on with the family/guests while you work away....See MoreKitchen Splashback dilemma
Comments (2)I would tile right across at one level and maybe a shelf or 2 above. Tile higher behind the hob to help with splashes but I wouldn’t tile to the ceiling, too much I think....See More
