I love this look and don't want grout lines. Do we need special adhesive?

Does this backsplash look off-scale?
Comments (14)Such a pity... your splashback is beautiful, but it looks out of place at the moment. There are a couple of things you could do: - cover the rest of the wall in a back-painted glass that matches the background colour (milky white?) of your splashback (similar to pic below) - you could have it on the left hand side wall (the one with microwave+oven) if you can give up the plugs there, re-sized, obviously; choose something else for the rest of the kitchen. - re-size and place it vertically in front of the hob. - use it somewhere else (bathroom?) and consider new splashback for kitchen. Good luck!...See MoreHow can I incorporate this look without paying a lot for floor tiles?
Comments (20)Thanks to all who offered advice. The samples arrived and the space invader fabric was our favourite. None of the cube patterns were quite right. Do you think i could skip lining fabric since it is already so thick? I think it might be too bulky for a blind with lining too. The other thing I wanted is some general styling advice. I don't know whether I'm going to be able to pull off the look I was originally going for and i keep getting sidetracked by other things I also like. My original idea was a contemporary classic kitchen with a bit of an edge. So we have light grey shaker doors on bottom, then handleless white slab on top. Flooring probably wood effect herringbone vinyl. Walls will be off white and backsplash behind job will be very pale neutral zellige tiles. Handles will be more industrial style, I like quite a few from dowsing & Reynolds, probably in bronze so quite dark. Then there will be a built in bench with dark blue cushion on the seat and across the back. Table I would like something mid or dark wood and contemporary but I've also liked mid century style ones I've seen. And chairs are undecided but maybe black. Worktops are marble effect Quartz (white with grey veining) and an upstand and sink is undermount stainless steel. I have already bought pendants for above the dining table, they are patterned glass with a black ceiling cord. I can't tell whether I'm going to be able to make this work or just end up with an odd collection of styles which don't quite work and feel disappointed with it....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 Moresunset3433
