Tiles are one way to introduce some pops of colour in your kitchen. If you are worried about the grout discolouring, use epoxy grout which is more resilient to liquid staining. Also, if you use a coloured grout, discolouration will be less noticeable. If you choose textured tiles with rectilinear edges, grout lines are almost invisible. Using tiles can look more traditional compared to glass or stainless steel. The problem with stainless steel is keeping it looking good. Drip marks and grease are instantly noticeable. Glass is less obvious when splashed. They are both more industrial and modern looking. What about using the same material that makes up your worktop as the splashback? Most manufacturers of manmade worktops also do an 11mm thick splashback and upstand.

Hi Laura, thanks for posting. Wow, it looks amazing! Amazing how much difference the floor, splashback and mirror make, it's transformed. Well done. I'm struggling to like a splashback in my new kitchen (even though I chose it) so was looking for inspiration - my partner just doesn't get it and will probably leave me if I even dare to mention changing it :-)

Hi Kavi, For a more specific renovation advice I would highly recommend you to book a Design Consultation with your local Interior Designer, or an e- Design Consultation with a Designer of your choice. This way a professional would be able to investigate your Project, requirements and budget in greater detail, and advice you on exact colours and Design Solutions for those spaces.

Hello, Congratulations on your new kitchen, we hope you're enjoying it! We understand that choosing kitchen tiles and backsplash could be confusing, there's so much in the market! You could go with a similar material you've used for the worktop, so it feels and looks continuous. You could also go with a mirrored look to expand the space, visually. We love Kit Kat tiles, they're making a comeback in the market. I'll attach a few images so you can get some ideas! We are Bespoke kitchen and wardrobe designers and provide free-of-charge initial design or quotation services. Our showroom is based in Notting Hill, London, but our services all over the UK.
