Backsplash ideas please!
My new kitchen was just installed the other day (not 100%—still need lighting/extractor box, sofits, etc) and I’m now on to ideas for what I should do for a backsplash. Originally I just thought I might leave the paint as I like the colour, but I think it will need a bit more there both because of sink splashes and also some pattern might give it a bit of interest and dimension. Ideas? I was thinking of possibly doing white or slightlu darker grey hereingbone pattern subway tile, but is that look too 2017?

Backsplash ideas please. Marble / white granite / oak cabs
Comments (9)Hopefully, they will get the yellow marks off (there was a slab stacked in front of it). Msjam, I'm linking to an earlier GW thread about your granite choice. I suspect that the yellow marks are iron oxidation (rust) that originates from within the stone. Wanted to give you a heads up on this so you don't get any nasty surprises on down the road. From what I've read, the iron bits in stone can continue to oxidize and you'll be seeing more or it as time goes by. You might want to investigate further...

Comments (6)First, cool hanging light fixture :) What do you think of white Shaker cabinetry with concrete counters. I think the copper sink may be hard to decorate around; I can't really tell from the pics how dark the copper is, but if it's deep brown, then I think it'll go with the concrete. As for backsplash, glass subway tile is a nice contemporary look if you'd like to pull in a contemporary element. You could also go with white or pale gray tiles in something like 3 x 12 stack set. Then grout in white. Under cabinet lighting will make the glass tile sparkle if you opt for that. I'd stay away from marble, as much as I love it, because it may be too much of different stone types with the slate floor....See MoreBacksplash ideas please!
Comments (0)Hi! We were planning on using a stainless steel tin backsplash but there are so many complications that we are going back to the drawing board. Need your expertise!...See MoreBacksplash Ideas please
Comments (3)The things that could be done fairly soon without much trouble , to make a difference would be backsplash change , removal of cabs from above window spot , change the hardware and different pendant lights. I think just staying in the traditional feel would be less chaotic and help the look of the cabinet style be actually quite welcoming. Later when you know more you can think about more drastic changes or not. Certainly there are many other costs with getting situated in the new home. Enjoy....See More

5 years agothe glass tile that JudyG Desigs mentioned might be a good Idea, i would stay away from herringbone patterns as they are way more traditional that what you have, you do need pattern/texture and color for contrast in your kitchen to balance the streamlined and clean lines. I would look into large format tile with texture and a contrasting color
look into Porcelanosa shine Aluminio or shine dark

Stainless is timeless and looks remarkable in a white or black kitchen or any shade of grey.
You have a million options, do you have a friend or are you willing to pay to have someone that's confident with such a decision to help you? It's worth it. Anyone can throw and idea at you, millions, but you have to make the decision you will be living with for a long time. Have fun. wr

5 years agoYou have a beautiful kitchen. So many wonderful ideas. I like the idea of texture as in Filipe's last photo of the wavy tile.
Here are some other ideas that will add a bit of earthy texture to your clean slate.
