Help with choosing a kitchen spashback

haylz24

Please help with ideas for a kitchen splash back???

We have white subway tiles left over from our bathroom. For budgets sake we thought about using the left over subway tile for a splash back. But how high should we tile and what colour grout do we use? The kitchen has black and stainless appliances already.

Note the window has not been fully painted white yet.

    I love my white kitchen subway tiles (with white grout) BUT if I had to do it again I would have done black grout. I've since seen it done and its REALLY cool. Adds an extra dimension/interest.

      The splash should go the whole way to the hood at the cooktop area.. Other than that, it's your decision, but 15-18" would be the most common height. I prefer white grout with white subway tiles, but that kitchen is very WHITE already. How about painting the window trim black, or a different color to make it stand out?

      It is a really white kitchen. How about a blue backsplash?

      This is a nice blue:

      What about painting the wall around the window a grey. To break up some of that white. Grey and white is a beautiful combination. I would use white grout with the white tile.

      Thanks for the ideas. I was also thinking of adding floating shelves so I can display some colourful bakeware. I'm undecided if we should tile right up to the ceiling or just up to range hood height.

      White subway tiles in a white kitchen might just be too much white? Your kitchen looks quite contemporary with the stainless hood fan and handles on flat panel doors, have you looked at glass tiles?
      Some glass tiles in a brick/ subway pattern might give a nice contrast? We used a green glass in our backsplash, and it worked well with the white kitchen

      Definitely a nice light grey glass tile backsplash to keep it fresh but cohesive

      Keep the subways but set them as a herringbone, use warm grey grout, tile to the ceiling at hood wall and windows at window wall, trim with bullnose

      You could do something like in this photo with the shelves and bring the tile up to the bottom of the shelves and range hood.

      I also think a slightly contrasting grout would add a little something to the kitchen and (if this makes sense) tie in the more industrial stools. I like the idea of painting the trim black or staining it darker and possibly using reclaimed wood shelves to warm things up a little.

      Even though this kitchen is more vintage it's what I was thinking of - your stools and the suggestion of grey grout reminded me. Note the dark window trim

      You could use your current white subway tile under the vent hood, and get a new, colorful tile for the rest of the backsplash (under the window and around to the counter) or vice versa.

      First, I would consider adding more storage, maybe a cabinet on the right hand side of cooktop down to counter with an appliance garage. Brand new Kitchen already cluttered?:(

      And as others suggested, open shelves on the other side, to put all the clutter that's on the sill now in them (with editing, of course).

      Make sure you pull out all the colors you have in your kitchen and match it to a backsplash. Do not go with an odd color it will overpower your space. Your colors are white, silver, black, and gray. Go to the big box stores and match it up please. They have it. Very nice kitchen wow!

      Sam0705, thank you for sharing the picture of the West Elm shelves! I have been looking for some shelves like those for my kitchen!

      great! I really like them. I had to order them online without seeing in person and was bracing myself for them not to live up to expectations but they are very nice. they come with different brackets if you go to the website.

      I think we are going to use the white subway tile to keep the budget down as I priced new tiles and it would blow out the budget. Really like the contrast grout idea to add a bit of texture and pattern. My partner is a builder and he loves the reclaimed wood shelf idea as we have a lot of spear old wood left over from the renovation. We have made a dinning table and fire place mantel from it already so it would tie in really well.

      I think your grey and white kitchen scheme would look great with an edgy backsplash like this http://www.glasstilestore.com/collection/stone-mosaics/glass-slate-tiles/geological-diamond-multicolor-slate-bronze-glass-tiles-2x3.html Or you could go for the more polished route http://www.glasstilestore.com/monarch-wooden-beige-with-athens-gray-strips-marble-tile.html

      You could use the white subway tiles on sink wall and use a subtle colored subway on the range wall with floating shelves in wood to match your window. That would give it some depth instead of being all black and white.
