Splashback and wallcolour advice for a Wimborne White kitchen please
We have just had a hand painted kitchen installed painted in F and B Wimborne white with a light beige Bottocino worktop from Classic Quartz and light ivory limestone floor. Am struggling now on 2 counts - what colour to paint the walls and what to use as a splashback behind the cooker. We originally painted the walls in Paint and Paper library Ivory 1 as wanted a creamy ivory but not sure they look right now and our designer wants us to paint them Joas white which I don’t want to do as don’t want to go any more brown. Any other suggestions? Dont want to go grey as kitchen is quite dark which is why we’ve gone light units but not sure what else goes or could just keep the current colour.
Also any splashback suggestions please - was thinking the Ca’ Pietra mirrored Roccoco tile in mercury or Winchester Tiles Pendragon tiles in soft green but not sure if need some more colour in the kitchen. Any help gratefully received please Thank you very much

Help me choose kitchen worktops and possible splashback/tiles
Comments (13)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....See MoreIkea kitchen finishing touches - what worktop and splashback?
Comments (7)How about making a concrete worktop. This isn't beyond the ability of a fairly competent DIYer. There are lots of YouTube videos to help and the worktops can be practically any colour and add a personal touch. The materials are extremely cheap. We have recently made concrete tops for within our larder to see whether is really as easy as it looks, and are delighted with the results....See MoreSplashback advice please
Comments (21)Hi Sarah The beauty about the kitchen you have gone for, contemporary white units with natural wooden worktops and floor means that there are lots of options open to you for your splashback in terms of colour palette especially if you opt for glass. Or, have you considered something slightly more adventurous in terms of a printed design. We have been helping a customer in London recently who has been in a similar situation - not quite sure which way to go. He sent us an image that he liked and we visualised how the design might translate to his new kitchen (please see images above) to give him an idea of the finished look before making a decision. If you would like us to help you out in the same way and have a design in mind we would be happy to do so. We have an arrangement with www.depositphotos.com where you can search, browse and choose from over 50 million designs and images. It might be worth taking a look. The cost for supplying the 2 Toughened Glass Splashbacks in this case worked out at around £300. Please let us know if we can be of any help. Kind regards, Richard...See MoreSplashback & Living room layout ideas needed please
Comments (2)Hi Sassy G, It's great how much natural light you are getting into this space from the patio doors and the light fixtures and fittings will help create the feel of a bigger space. For the Living Area: I would suggest a 2 seater against the back wall (as per your plan) and a small coffee table in front with your 2 cocktail chairs facing inwards. This helps create the feel of a separate living area but also accommodates for additional seating for guests. Or instead of the 2 cocktail chairs you could have an upholstered storage bench which doubles up as storage as well as seating. This is also great because it keeps the openness of the space. For the Kitchen: For the splashback I think a high gloss teal finish would look lovely here. It adds a splash of colour, its bright (but not too bright) and different and would look great against your current worktop. Paint ideas: Having an off white colour is a good choice for the living and dining area. You could also try two different paint colours for each of these rooms to help break up the space or incorporate a feature all paint colour such as Farrow and Ball 'Peignoir'. Your ideas are great and it will turn out lovely. If you need further help or advice for this project, or would like an interior designer for this I would be happy to help you - feel free to have a look at my profile or my website www.rebeccafullertoninteriors.com.

PRO6 years agoHi Carolyn, What a beautiful kitchen, you must be very pleased. I was thinking a good colour for the splash back could be yellow. Have a look at this tile designed by Neisha Crosland for Fired Earth, I would then choose your paint colour around the tile that you like. There is also a nice option of a brick cut tile from Mandarin Stone.. I would be happy to put together some options for you. Please feel free to message me on my Houzz page. Best of luck.

PRO6 years agoHi Carolyn,
I understand your dilemma, have you considered an antique mirror? the traditional look of it would fit the style of your kitchen and it would reflect light giving the illusion of a brighter space? We fit one recently that really suits the kitchen.
Hope this helps! Many thanks BFG

6 years agoStunning kitchen. Just my kinda thing! I think your walls could take a bolder shade. How about something like Overtly Olive by Dulux? Similar shade to the plate on your cooker hood. I would then keep the splash back quite calm and neutral so it doesn’t clash.
