Splash back help!
I would like to arrange a splash back for the whole of my kitchen area, however 6 cuts are needed due to plugs, and I don't want to have to spend GBP1,000 on the work. Any ideas/recommendations? Any DIY alternatives? Thanks!!

Comments (5)I think the kitchen looks great. Perhaps a pile of chopping boards next to the sink and something vintage on the shelves. I wouldn't do a coloured splashback with an industriał look. If you really want to change it and budget isn't an issue (they are dear!) try an antiqued mirror splashback. You can also just silver leaf the ŵall and then have a clear glass splashback for a budget version. Alternatively have a look at metal sheeting splashbacks, you can also get hammered ones etc for texture. If you don't mind mixing metals then try bronze or copper. I had thought you could do american tin tiles on the ceiling as an alternative to bounce light but then realised how high the cupboards are fitted.. You could also look at tin tile wallpaper and again clear splashback over the top. Not for light, but leathered marble looks great but I'm struggling to find any in the uk...See MoreKitchen cooker splash back or tile all around?
Comments (14)We vote tiles! If it was my kitchen (and mostly because I'm a messy cook) I would be inclined to tile (or glass backsplash) anywhere that might need to be wiped down-e.g. behind cooker, along any counters where I might be doing any food prep. This gives you plenty of options-you could tile behind cooker and counters in metro/subway tiles, but be careful as it could look busy with the granite and wood grain of kitchen-it will depend on the grout. Alternatively, you could use big clean glossy tiles like this marble look above....See MoreKitchen Splash back ideas
Comments (19)Hi. The kitchen looks great, where did the fridge end up going?! I like the tiles, they will go with the units and the prism shape mirrors the table. I also like the idea of adding a different texture however I don't think the different shades of white work together (on my screen anyway!) so would look for a different shade of white . How big is the veining as choosing a different scale for the prism tile would work? You could also consider a grey grout. I'm not sure my pictures help but just showing a tile laid in a pattern with a veined worktop and sandwiching a black worktop with white units and tiles. I love the angel and boho bench, I've posted that so many times on here! These chairs aren't a wishbone and no longer available (!) but maybe a wishbone could work or something similar in shape? I might also paint the utility door in the wall colour to help it blend in?...See Morehelp with splash back
Comments (48)Your kitchen renovation is simply beautiful! I wanted to suggest if you would be interested in considering our splashbacks as an option to complete the look of your interior. Please take a look at our website: www.alusplash.co.uk Also, on our Houzz page, you will see a recent project with Benchmarx in the UK, where they have a white kitchen and an accent of our Olive green which just lifts the whole space. You could choose to go for a darker shade to add an element of luxury to compliment your gorgeous lights and stools - perhaps Blueberry! We would be happy to send you samples, should you like to consider our splashback panels....See MoreC D

3 years agoHi,
There are several options in my mind for your project.
Glass Tile MosaicYou can find budget one, as well as it works good with plugs.
Unusual Materials: Plywood or laminate
It works good in a kitchen. You can choose light colours (white, grey)
Chalkboard Paint
Budget Friendly: Tin Sheets
The tin backsplash in this white kitchen is a budget-friendly fix that also adds visual interest.
Plastic wall panelsThis is a good idea if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Ikea has double-sided panels, they need to be installed in special frames.
Pros of plastic that it's easy to cut
Wallpaper
There are a lot of waterproof wallpapers collection. They are washable as well.
Metal/Stainless steelEasy to wash
Mirror
You can cut mirror into tiles and glue it.
Hope this information will inspire you!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMaybe shop around and find different suppliers to get an average cost of the glass splashbacks, it shouldn't cost that much if I'm honest and maybe that was just an expensive company that quoted you, alternatively you could have smaller glass splashbacks basically stopping just shy of the plug sockets which would bring the cost down.
Hope this helps! Thanks BFG
