Browse Forums Kitchen Splashbacks 1 Mar 10, 2011 9:55 pm I was wondering if anyone has used the same material for their splashback and floor tile. Just about to start my reno and have picked a 600x600 botticino marble tile and having the splashback done with the same marble but in one large slab. Colour wise the marble is greyish, cabinets "natural white" and cashmere cs benchtop. Not to sure how it will look so if anyone has photo's that would be great. Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 2Mar 11, 2011 6:21 am I read on this forum you should have the bench and the floor matching and the cupboards and the splashback matching.
I have seen kitchens that follow that rule and they really pop edited to say....ie light cupboards, light splashback, dark bench, dark floor, dark cupboards dark splashback. light bench, light floor. doesnt have to be THE SAME, just light or dark... Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 3Mar 11, 2011 6:43 am Our floor tile is grey, our splash back is grey (glass). We haven't at all followed the rule kiwi mentioned above, and still think our kitchen worked out amazing. We have a black benchtop, and black overhead cupboards. We wanted a black benchtop from the start, I doubt black floor tiles would have looked any good Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 4Mar 11, 2011 6:47 am yeah, but the floor is dark like your bench.....a light floor wouldnt have worked!!! Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 5Mar 11, 2011 6:56 am kiwi yeah, but the floor is dark like your bench.....a light floor wouldnt have worked!!! Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 6Mar 11, 2011 7:34 am oh sorry! I thought you had a dark grey..is it light then? cos if it was dark, you had followed the rules...floor matches bench, cupboards (dark) match dark splashback. Your kitchen does look awesome though...so just copy erins and you will be fine evo. I loveeeeeeeee marble and a slab of that as a splashback will look WOWOWOWO! ignore the rule (aint my rule...someone on here said it, just the messanger ...but I do think the rule kind of works. ha ha!!) Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 9Mar 11, 2011 9:21 am evo9 its easy to break rules when you are colour blind!!!!! ha ha! true. I think the marble floor and splashback with the light cupboards will work well. have a look at the 'show me your kitchen thread' 60 pages of dream kitchens and you might find one there like the one you want Re: Splashback same as floor tile?? 10Mar 11, 2011 9:25 am kiwi I read on this forum you should have the bench and the floor the same and the cupboards and the splashback the same.

I didnt say they had to be the same, just that they matched TONE wise...ie light cupboards, light splashback, swirly bench (or DARK bench) dark, or swirly floor!! I will let you know tuesday if it works...cos my floor was a sandstone and I have changed it to a wide plank walnut wood look...(with knots in, like swirls!) as the bench is dark and the cupboards light (splashback is now sandstone instead) will post a pic on here to show you. and you can all go...nar, that rule is rubbish, or wow, kiwi you are a guru, you are sooooooooooo right.
