what backsplash?
Comments (26)We're with Valduff. Shades of purple and plum can really add depth to a chic scheme like yours. Particularly with your gorgeous counter top. Grey is also a good call, as it will coordinate with your kitchen units but allow room to add coloured accessories. It can depend on the light quality in your room- we always recommend grabbing some tester opts in a range of shades. Paint your walls or A4 sheets, and see what the colours look like as the light changes throughout the day....See MoreKitchen backsplash
Comments (8)Hi, What sort of look are you after? And what colour is the worktop? I'm not a big fan of tiles in the kitchen ever since we installed a splashback which is ever so easy to clean and you have no worry about grout lines. I'd consider a neutral coloured splashback, maybe a greige? or a antique, distressed effect mirror splashback to bounce light....See MoreBacksplash or tile in a kitchen?
Comments (8)Hi Rosie, It's entirely down to personal preference and the style you're going for. A contrasting backsplash can create a nice focal point and add extra interest if you opt for plain tiles. Tiles are always classic though, and you could play with laying patterns and sizes to help make your kitchen feel wider and more spacious. http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod47710/duck-egg-splashback-90.html...See Morekitchen backsplash
Comments (11)Hi, A glass splashback in a neutral (or bold colour if you wish) would look lovely and tie in with the contemporary look you are after. They are easy to maintain and there's no grout lines to worry about. You could opt for a light neutral such as stone, light grey or pale blue or a more bolder orange/ teal or yellow. Alternatively, using the same worktop design as a splashback is also very effective in maintaining a modern, sleek look....See MoreArika Schnepp

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI've used Mapei Flexcolor CQ for the bathroom. it's a stain proof, urethane type of grout. If your tile person has never used it, I would strongly urge them to watch a video on how to apply and clean. if not wiped up correctly, it leaves a haze that is very difficult to remove. (it does come off with Goof Off!)
**Is the back of your glass tile painted white or can you see your hand through it? if the latter, make sure the tile setter uses a bright white thinset (Laticrete Platinum 254 is perfect for glass) and smooths his trowel marks before setting the tile. if not, you will be able to see the thinset ridges once it's on the wall. **
here is the 3D color chart, and the regular Mapei color chart. With your tile, I don't think you need extra 'bling'. However, in the regular colors, Mapei's Avalanche is considered the brightest white. perhaps that, or White, Frost or even the Warm Gray (I used that one and it's a very very light gray) will work. Mapei is available at Lowes, but I don't know if they carry the 3D grout.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoArika, I used warm gray from Mapei w/my tile. looks like this. (basically a grayish white) . they say that the eye doesn't really 'see' the gray. it's very much a neutral. light gray or a clean white will be perfect.
again, make sure your guy knows how to apply and clean this type of grout! I gave instructions to my guy who grouted, and even showed him the video. he still didn't listen. i spent 2 hours removing all of the residue from the flooring. not fun.
if you use a regular grout from another line, make sure it's unsanded. Laticrete has decent grout too. if you go into a tile store, they should have samples of all the colors.

5 years agoI think it will be a nice compliment. you can see if your tile guy has any of that gray for a sample (you only need a teaspoon mixed w/water). see how it looks next to the white. (just use a spare piece of you tile to set the grout)
I was trying to see if I could find any set w/something other than white. I can't. but, I did find this one w/the gray backing. if you can imagine it's grout instead, it will give you an idea of how a lighter gray would look

On our Builder suggestion, we went with Avalanche white grouting to make the colors pop more
