Home Decorating Design Dilemma Kitchens

Kitchen splash back

5 years ago

I have recently had a kitchen built, It is a 6mX 6,5 Metre size, The flooring is sandy patterened sand coloured large tiles, The kitchen cabinets are oak for the lower cabinets and island and ivory coloured oak for the top cabinets, The work top and island are baltic brown granite. It all looks good but my dilemma is what colour should the splashback be. I am wanting to have a glass splashback of a very light moss green colour derived from the baltic brown granite.

What is your suggestion?

Photos of your cabinet colors, granite, and sample of the tile you are considering?

Thanks! I decided to keep the larger tile to create a bigger feel in the kitchen...like I said it's the smallest kitchen I've seen (barring a retirement home!) but I'm considering going UP the corner wall space maybe 2 rows difference from the backsplash under the cabinets and then adding my 30 inch rustic shelves on either side (possibly staggered OR resting on the top of the tile where it ends on the wall on both sides (not sure which way I want to do it...again, it's a visual thing for me), and then using the coordinating paint further up the wall for a little pop. Will determine if I go up the extra 2 rows based on where the pendant light hangs down to.

I do like to have a separation in looks between a kitchen and bathroom. When we made our powder room, which is very much next to the kitchen, it was important to feel like there was a psychological separation between the two spaces. Also nice for guests to feel that separation too when they go to the John! I would think about a variation on the theme for the kitchen. Are there similar tiles but different size shape and lighter grout?

Agreeing with others, but want to add. Not only is backsplash choice last, but it also should not be chosen until after everything else is installed. Everything looks entirely different after it is installed, and if you choose your backsplash before that, you will make a mistake. Don't worry about not having your GC still available for the backsplash after everything else is installed. You will actually get a better backsplash installation if you hire a tile installer yourself. Remove the backsplash from the GC's scope of work, and hire someone yourself later to install it.

Because you have a lot of colors going on in the kitchen, a simple white (to match the upper cabinets). Can`t find a picture as this seems to be an unusual combination. Maybe someone else could jump in and help. Whatever you choose, bring home samples and check them out in your lighting etc. before deciding.

I think a color from the granite would look good.

I personally think that a backsplash should relate to the counter.

Adding green to the mix I agree is not the thing to do. This is odd for me but for some reason I am visualizing a metal tile to reference your pulls.
