Tiles & splashback for kitchen
Hey everyone, I'm in the midst of redecorating my kitchen; I recently got the cupboards sprayed painted in F&B Lichen, and some walls tiled in Somerset Ivory Gloss tiles.
However, there are some patches of older earthy-coloured tiles that don't fit with the new scheme; check out the red and brown tiles in the photos! I'm looking for ideas from people on what to replace these with. I don't want to overdo it on the new ivory tiles, so was thinking to use a brass splashback in one area to coordinate with the brass door handles, and maybe just a hard wearing neutral paint elsewhere (Portland Stone Light).
Any thoughts?

Tiles and splashback to brighten kitchen!
Comments (4)The 'metro' tiles would work well with the cream. The example at the Topps Tiles site is very similar (http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod966/metro-white-tile.html) and will probably help you decide. The 'metro' tiles glazing will 'amplify' any light that is available in your kitchen. The pattern of the metro tile also suits the 'line' design on your cupboards. I would suggest a very plain light grey tile without any grain for the floor to add just a little touch of a contemporary modern flair to the whole composition. The light grey will help create a 'base' to the whole layout and also help 'sober' down the cupboard and tile colours. I hope this helps....See MoreKitchen splash-back or tiles?
Comments (16)Glass would look good - give you a little reflectance without mirroring everything on the worktop. Also could be a subtle way to introduce some colour. If you use clear glass with screw back type fixings, then you can change the colour now and then by painting the wall behind if you're nervous about colour, or think you would want to change the look now and then. Another option is a stainless steel, which again would add in a little light reflecting but in a grey tone that would work well with what you have....See MoreHelp please, mirrored metro tiles for kitchen splashback
Comments (4)Hi Diana, This depends on which tiles are chosen. The materials used and how they are made will all have an impact on this.

Comments (21)Hi Yolanda - I'd change the stools, table and chairs, and swap the pendants for something in coloured glass or (personally) metallic, and change the cabinet handles from steel to brass/gold. Instant lift. Splashback-wise, try distressed mirror (suitably tempered and toughened) as it has loads of personality, bounces light around and is easy to clean. Then play with wall colour. Warm accents will stop the wood door from jarring so much (or paint it, if you can convince your husband). You have a lovely kitchen - will take very little to get it where you want!...See More

last yearHere are a couple of pictures of the glass splashback. The best option is seamless. This was a replacement for a previous glass splashback which had separate sections up to the cooker hood on each side and a one piece behind the cooker. It was only slightly more expensive to have one piece. It took about three weeks from measuring to installation.
