Re: Splashback Stress Syndrome - Help 6Jul 12, 2012 2:48 pm Why not take a look at a metalic champagne colour? Have done quite a few of these with white kitchens and they look great. It wont be too bold and a colour you wont regret in a few years. ie it wont go out of fashion. With 25 years kitchen experience and a passion for what I do, I have joined this forum to offer advice or at least my opinion on all things relevant to kitchens. I was a cabinetmaker by trade and am now a senior manager of a kitchen company. Re: Splashback Stress Syndrome - Help 7Jul 16, 2012 10:16 pm Thanks for your suggestions - we are still stuck, got another splashback guy out who tried to talk us into snow white, painted the wall and we don't like it. My hubby was keen on burnt orange, but our problem is we've got a very large area of glass for the kitchen space, as the rangehood is quite high and doesn't have cupboards around it, and the kitchen is small (its 3.5 sq m of glass in all, almost as much as the benches). Oh well - took us 4 years to come up with a kitchen design, I hope it doesn't take that long to work out the splashback!

Do splash back companies match paints or do colours from a particular brand? If so, grab a large piece of card board, a couple pots of sample paint and paint the various colours and see what you like best. It might help you get a feel for various colours. Re: Splashback Stress Syndrome - Help 13Jul 18, 2012 9:11 am I couldn't do mirrors, I am always looking at myself in them, I'm not vain or anything but if I walk past one I have to look at myself, lol. I would be looking at an olive green (not lime) - there are some nice Olice Green Glass tiles out there... Aaron Smith Re: Splashback Stress Syndrome - Help 14Jul 31, 2012 2:31 pm Dreamer Green!!! I'd go a green or a dark red. If it had a bit of sparkly finish to it, that would be good (but not too much though, just a vague shimmering look) 2010, June : Land bought (1700sqm, battleaxe block).
