Thanks heaps had not thought of these. Will have a look.

Silver could look gorgeous ,
Match your appliances and kick board

Wonderful suggestions above. If you wanted to stick with white, just ensure that you stop it from looking sterile by choosing an interesting textured tile or dark grout as per these photos...

Thank you great ideas really appreciate your help! Have a great day . . .

Hi Heidi, your Kitchen looks very now. I hope I can help with your concern about having a "green tinge" to your glass splashbacks if you use a light colour. There is a glass on the market which has been developed as a Low Iron glass, which has perfect clarity and allows light colours to be used without being distorted. (One brand name is called Opti-Clear Glass )

We recently put Designer White splashbacks in at Auldana for a client, where we also used a very fine metalic first coat under the glass which looks great when it catches the light.

If you like the lack of grout lines that Glass offers and like its easy clean benefits but are concerned about the gloss of glass and prefer something different; then there is another large format sheet product on the market that you may like to consider called Neolith (see : https://www.cdkstone.com.au/surfaces-neolith/ ) This material has some 42 styles / colours / patterns which comes in a range of matte, textures and gloss finishes which can help add character and interest.

Like Neolith the makers of Quantum Quatz also make a large format Porcelain thin sheet in a range of colours and testures which we use for Splashbacks called QuantumSix+.

Hope this information helps. Malcolm

Hi Heidi, some good suggestions here already... I agree and believe you need to go with some tiles with texture to add some dimension and interest. You might consider new handles to complement the tiles (depending on the style you select) and you will feel that you have a new kitchen!

Great thank you again have some great ideas. The kitchen is ten years old and we didn't choose the red. Kitchen is open plan so red always dominates choices in lounge room etc. But just after neutral tones now so can add colour in furnishings. Just nervous as want it to feel warm and more open but not sterile. Was recently told white on white???

I like the marble look so in now and would go with a lot of things

Hi Heidi, a lot of the suggestions above use white on white; this actually works well, allowing you to introduce colour with accessories and other furnishings without it looking sterile. If you go to Cath Tonkin Interiors ( above) and our earlier post (above) you can see here how this type of minochromatic scheme is used to great effect.

This is another White on White kitchen we did where we used white Subway Tiles for the splashback, where colour accents are added elsewhere.

Personally I love the encaustic tiles but another option is pressed metal. It can be painted or powder coated any colour you like, and comes in both traditional or contemporary patterns. It'd give you some texture and interest if you decide to go white.
