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 

Hi Adrian, thanks for the details - love the Caraz! Absolutely on trend colour, and a nice calm, sophisticated palette. Always amazes me just how much influence ambient light has, as the pictures show both to be even warmer in reality. With that info, I think I'd still be opting for white/off-white close to your worktop colour - on, if suitable, using the worktop material as a splashback, but you'd need to check with the manufacturer on suitability close to gas flame. Not all would be permissible. An alternative would be to go with whatever you have picked as flooring tile, if available in large enough size, then cut & edge to suit. Now that large format tiles are becoming so popular, we're finding clients opting for this more frequently, to add a bit more texture compared to flat, plain glass.

Hey ladies! I do agree on your ideas! as i really wanted to have white grout and just painted the wall white to resolve everything. And just to have a smooth invisible clean looking. As i think dark grout looks more industrial for me for now. And can be, Outdated. Will update you guys as it is almost finished. And finalised what colour he picked. It was my first post on HOuz application because of my frustration on my kitchen tile. Didnt expect some really share their ideas. 🙂 appreciate it.

Only my opinion of course but on my screen the backsplash looks grey with a tiny line of brown and the floor tile looks yellowy and l’m not too keen on the combo. Add to that your options for the laminate are ‘mushroom’ colours and I just don’t think either of them go. Your inspo photo strikes me as being ‘top heavy’ with the darker cupboards on the top. I’d still like to see some grey laminate samples next to your tiles.
