Galley Kitchen splashback height?
5 years ago
Hello, i've finally found a kitchen splashback i like! But now i'm not too sure how high would look best as I just want it on the 1 wall (the side with the sink), please see images of my kitchen and the tile i'd like (and please excuse my mess!).
I was thinking either stopping just short of my cupboards/ up to the bottom of the cupboards/ up to the top of the cupboards where the empty space is... it's just hard to imagine each option in my head...
Does anyone have a suggestion of what would look best?
Many thanks in advance!

Comments (24)Ideally you’d choose something with little contrast to the walls/units so I wouldn’t look at white with a grey grout if that’s your goal. I’d also avoid small tiles as the grout lines make it look busy. What’s going on the floor as would have said the same as colourhappy! Something with a gloss finish can also help bounce light so will make it feel bigger but not sure if the units are gloss or Matt?...See MoreHelp! Kitchen splashback ideas
Comments (14)Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions. I've ordered some samples: https://tileweb.co.uk/globe-25x75-gris-gloss-glazed-ceramic-tile.html and https://tileweb.co.uk/globe-25x75-blanco-gloss-glazed-ceramic-tile.html Both are gloss and tend to reflect the light, these 2 tiles were picked mainly for their pattern and size at 25x75 to cover the overall 48cm height of the splashback, I'll see how they look like with my layout. I also liked the splashback of the first picture sent by Sonia, which company was that from? As Lynn suggested, a darker silver grey colour or any darker grout matching the same tile, or even no grout at all would be my choice. For now, I wish you all a Happy new year.

Comments (14)If you include a 100mm upstand you will still have a gap if its 660mm and the alusplash is only 610mm wide. You could make it look deliberate by stopping under the units and having the gap of 50mm. I wouldn't do the upstand and then the alusplash its not sleek. If you do the alusplash start at the worktop and have the gap above. That could be the starting point for the shelf. Metro tiles are fussy to clean and unless white on white can look very busy. Zellige tiles are stunning but for that square meterage probably eye wateringly expensive. I would do a serious houzz search of what you are planning in photos, save lots to ideabooks and then see which style appeals to you the most to help you decide. If you have the upstand I wouldn't do any splashback above it. It looks great with only a good wallcolour....See MoreWhat shall we do with our long galley kitchen / diner???
Comments (6)It’s always nice to have a dining table near a window. It seems storage in your kitchen gets more light than the dining table does! I have a galley kitchen too and it was a bit of a squeeze for the dining table so I moved it to the living room by the bay window where there is more space. Do you have space elsewhere for the table? I’ve placed an armchair and sideboard there instead. Lovely place to sit. If it was mine I would swop the kitchen down to the other end. Of course this will create plumbing issues, but doable. I would also go lighter with the units and the worktop which I think is either Granite or laminate, hard to tell. Pink tiles sounds lovely. My kitchen is now 14 years old. Here’s a pic of the kitchen end and the relaxing end. It could do with an upgrade but I can’t face the upheaval!...See More- 5 years ago
