glass splashback for black and ivory kitchen

figgie helpmate

Help, have decided for my minimalistic kitchen to have glass splashback. Am drawn towards light to mid coffee colour, but friends tell me shouldn't have another colour in the kitchen which is black and ivory - what do you think, or even do you have another colour that won't date too soon you can think of, Has black granite benches, gloss, & textured polytec laminate, as well as black mirror fridge. Thank you all

    Hi I agree with your friends to keep it in the same colour family.

    I would suggest to add some pattern to your monochromatic scheme.

    Below is a glass splash back design from http://axolotl.com.au/glass which I believe will add that layer of personality you are looking for.

      From the visual I would add something like a mirror or smoked mirror. I think your colour if needed could be colour matched to your floor tiles something like Dulux Russian Toffee. As far a as a colour goes....maybe a blue of some sort.

      Hey figgie, nice kitchen! I'd pick a warm grey or as mentioned above, a smoked glass.

      A black glass splash back will keep it looking schmick, or I would go a smoked bronze colour. Looks like a great kitchen!

      This is gorgeous can I ask what you decided to use for the splashback and are the cabinets in polytec black textured or polytec Wenge in Matt ? Thank you

      Thanks for your comment Renae, cabinets are Polytec Black Finegrain (so appears matt with lines texture making cabinets look taller), and splashback I didn't use glass at all, textured wall itself, painted it matt colour Ivory, and then added tile design in front of stove which is working out well, wanted it to add something and glass was ok but not finally what I wanted.

      That's very effective and original, lovely.

      This is gorgeous and so original, thanks for answering my questions. How do you find the black finegrain in keeping it clean. From memory this has a slight sheen and is not matt...

      Yep you're right black cupboards that slight sheen but even with vertical texture isn't at all difficult to keep, hope your project goes well for you

      Have you considered stainless steel mosaics or glass just to give you a bit of texture or maybe mirror all the way.
