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!!

Splash back and wall color help!
Comments (26)Personally I wouldn't go with a yellow splash back. Not because it wouldn't go but more that you already have enough of that accent colour around the room, over do it and it can look forced. There is a fine line between getting the balance right were it looks classy and going over board to the point it looks naff. Personally I would either go for a splash back that is colour matched to the walls or a smoked mirror. You are limited in some ways because it appears there wasn't any forward planning with regards to splash backs. Any splash backs would need to be confined to the width of the extractor because your curved wall units won't open otherwise. They would have to be packed off the wall if you wanted to go full width splash back. I would recommend a durable matt paint in the kitchen. Good quality ones will withstand washing without polishing up and showing tell tell marks where they've been washed. Little Greenes Intelligent Matt is perfect for this and is our choice of paint when not using any further splash backs above the granite upstands. I understand a colour matched glass splash back or smoked mirror may seem like the safe option and boring to some, but there is no point in being brave just for the sake of it. You've got plenty of other points of interest in the room with regards to colour without having to push it too far. Let the kitchen itself be a subtle canvas to show off other items rather than fight with them for attention would be my advice....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 MoreSplash back or no splash back??
Comments (9)Well I love the look you have right now. So personally would chose a natural stone or tile very similar to current wall colour. As your wood units are such a gorgeous rich tone I thibk adding anything mid to dark would detract from these. On another note can I ask about your crittall style internal doors please? Are these actually metal? Can I enquire about supplier you used/cost as it is the exact look I am planning for our house. Thanks....See MoreNeed help deciding on kitchen splash back
Comments (3)Mirror splashbacks can make a small space look really cool between wall units and base units. Apart from the standard mirror silver you can get antiqued (is your kitchen style dictates this) or coloured glass such as copper/bronze. If you are not that keen at looking at yourself then a smoked grey is a great option for modern contemporary kitchens. Mirror splashbacks can be cut around sockets for that perfect look. Ensure behind your hob that you have toughend glass otherwise it could shatter with the heat from the hob. A simple upstand in the same material as your worktop say 75mm high is simple then use a washable paint for above for a simple look. Hope that helps...See MoreC D

5 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!

Hope this helps! Thanks BFG
