Have you actually got room between the Aga and the wall to fit a splashback? I don't know if it applies to all Agas but the top needs to be able to come off if the thermostat fails on an oil fired Aga. Pretty sure they tell you to leave room to get it off for other models too, certainly for electric which we're having installed in a new property. And yes the thermostat can fail, that's how we know. We tiled down tightly to our current one and then the thermostat failed after a few years. It was only because my daughter was able to use her slender fingers to feed the cable through that the Aga engineer was able to do the job without dismantling our stone tiles. It was Christmas Eve too...

In my opinion the hexagon will also be a little lost because it is all white and with your wall cabinets you won’t see the top edges. Because you have so much white I think this is where your heart is. I encourage you to try colour but in a way that can be changed later- this means that you should add the color in paint. For you I think you should put a plain white tile or glass splash back behind the hob and sink and the paint the walls in a wipeable Matt paint of your choice. I like your blue idea to match the next room but be careful about choosing anything too cold. Since little wall will be showing I would love to see a bold color such as Farrow and Balls Stone Blue as I think it will frame the pale cabinets and make them stand out.

Hello, I have just finished DIY-ing my small white kitchen, but your lovely kitchen is large enough for you to play with colour. But also can be costly if you do not like what you have chosen. There is so much out there, it can be taunting. Take your time as there is no hurry (unless you have self imposed one) as the kitchen seasons change and you must have this and that NOW! Looking at your pictures you seem to like yellow, orange and there seems to be some greens (Ornaments, pots and plates) plus some woods. Start with those colours to compliment and pull it all together. What are your favourite colours, flowers? Or a favourite piece of fabric, pattern, design style or era ? Start with things you like then eliminate. If you are not sure as depending on your kitchen orientation the colours will change with the light, also due to shelving, cupboards a lot of shadows will darken the colour. I could experiment with some colour pots or and get some made up of a colour you like or take the ornament to a DIY store. They can make up the colour for a couple of pounds. Paint some paper A4 or bigger with whatever colour you think will work. If you think glass splashbacks put a piece of glass over it (an picture frame glass will do, if you do not have one they are pennies at a charity shop and you can donate it back), hang them at different places in the kitchen at different times of the day with lights on and off. If tiles, get samples. Do the same thing. If you cannot return the tile samples use as place mats or to protect your kitchen surface. If there is a wall paper that you think will give your kitchen a kick. You can use it and then seal it by putting clear acrylic or glass over it, if going for clear glass check if it has a green hue or pure clear, a green hue will change the colour underneath it. And the inside of your shelves can be a colour or pattern too. If you have children or grandchildren, you can now with laser technology get templates and photos of them and or their art work on paper an seal it. I hope this helps to do what you want and not influenced by "designer fashion". Have fun!

A pale warm stone coloured splash back would work with the units and complement the rich wood. Have you tried standing one of the floor tiles up against it to see how warm neutrals would look?
