Your choices sound great - there are plenty of exciting
options you could have a look at.For a more traditional look, go for a metro or
lantern style wall tile with a slight tint of blue or green if you prefer a
muted palette. If you did want to make a real statement, use different colours
combined together. There are some fantastic tile styles out there and you could
look at adding a patterned tile or a collection of different styles, patterns,
colours mixed up on the same wall. This will make it really personal to
yourself and add a feature to your space.Another option is to do a thin wood panelling. This
is a more authentic cottage feel and can be painted to a shade of your liking.
This is also a good option if you wanted to refresh them after a few years and
change the colours in your kitchen.I hope this helps and good luck! :-)

Please help with ideas for which Caesarstone countertop!
Comments (4)I looked at the brochure but I could not find exactly what color or pattern Caesarstone has in India. I'd like the look of a "marble" Caesarstone for the counters and the back splash with your blue cabinets. I don't know if this is possible, though. I have granite in my kitchen and I the have counter and back splash in the same granite and I have loved it for 15 years. Do they have induction cook tops in India? They are wonderful, too....See MoreNeed help with Granite and backsplash selection
Comments (12)actually, to brighten up this dark and small feeling space, i'd look for a creamy base colored stone like khasmir gold or ivory gold, being sure to add an overhang on the island (if you like movement in the stone check out juprana granite) then exchange the pot rack over the island with either a pair of great pendants or a statement chandelier. from my own kitchen remodel experience i'll share you with you this: you'll get a much better price from a granite company then you will from a large home store ;) and be sure to take a cabinet door with you to shop. you can continue the granite onto the wall as a backsplash...they can cut the stone and make it go higher up the wall than the standard 3 inches which can be a great look. but if you really want tile, go for something simple that won't compete with the granite....like a cream colored subway tile. you can apply thim in a running brick pattern or a more modern stacked geometric pattern or even a herringbone. to control staining from food prep, don't use a white grout, use a slightly darker grout color that is inspired from the stone countertop. just remember that using a pattern on the countertop and another pattern on the backsplash can easily become overwhelming and then neither element stands out as the focal point. if you are spending a lot on a granite countertop, do everything you can to make it stand out as the best feature....See MoreKitchen Reno: Design Dilemma!
Comments (0)Hi all, My existing kitchen needs a major revamp and I am currently in the process of talking to kitchen vendors to redo the whole thing and also add a kitchen island for regular dining. I am a bit confused about what finishes to go for to achieve a classy yet fun kitchen. I love the Spanish/ Moroccan tiles that are in style these days and would love to use them on the back splash and floor. Also, mostly got to go with black granite counter tops to survive Indian cooking. For top cabinets, If i got with white matte/hi-gloss(you can suggest which easy to maintain and look good) and wood veneer on bottom cabinets, would it be too busy and clash ? Please help me out with this. Thanks in advance. EXISTING INSPIRATION...See MoreNeed help with my backsplash
Comments (7)Yes they do have similar styles in porcelain, but to me it doesn't look the same. Search around that site and see if any of the other tile designs in other materials strike your fancy. I know you said you don't like the subway, but you could get a glass tile in a 2X8 and lay it in a herringbone or find shorter ones and do a chevron. Don't know if you care for mosaics, or penny rounds, those would also look nice. You are going to have to narrow it down to a look you are drawn to, and then go from there.

Thank you very much for your advice Dulux Amazing Space :)
It helps.. I googled and found some options with colored tiles. could you let me know if it goes well with Farm House kitchen?
I'm afraid if it suits more for a modern kitchen and mismatch for farmhouse/cottage style.
All your ideas are highly appreciated!

Hi Rasa,
If you didn’t want to use the blue or green tile to add that
colour, then I’d suggest going for a darker neutral. Black might look a little
harsh and industrial mixed in with the greys, but to keep to the overall look
consistent with that more rustic theme, a deep neutral will work well to add in
an accent tile.The colour swatch below is a warm neutral with a very subtle
hint of grey which will work well with your granite worktops and the other
colours suggested.
If you wanted that darker, more intense, look without using
black, then a rich brown also looks really good with the other colours, while still
adding that vibrant contrast.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures and if you need anything else, please call 0115 7842 642

www.designer.duluxamazingspace.co.uk - 9 years agoThank you for all the suggestions for my previous post on selecting backsplash for my kitchen. Please see the attached image of the current status of my kitchen. Very soon I will get a granite counter top (imperial white) & the floor is also imperial white. Keeping all the suggestions you have given regarding backsplash, I am thinking about having glass tiles for my kitchen. Its pretty much decided ! My cooking style can get the kitchen dirty soon so this would be much practical and easy to clean...
I would like to know the choice of color , white would be a safe choice. But can i bring in some other colors like grey or blue ? i really would like to add some colors.now the kitchen is just white or black with my selection of granite for flooring and counter top..
