Pimp your kitchen
When it comes to redesigning your kitchen, it’s not always about starting again from scratch. Sometimes, all your kitchen needs is a quick lick of paint and a new splashback. Investing in a new splashback is the ideal way to add both style and functionality to your kitchen. As the kitchen is the heart of the home, it’s essential that it is well equipped for any event and choosing the right splashback will play a vital role in creating an elaborate space. So, whether you are redesigning your entire kitchen or just want to make a few simple changes, a new splashback is the perfect way to create a fresh new look.
Metro tiles have always been a popular choice in the kitchen and for a good reason. They are extremely versatile and will work in every style of kitchen – including modern and traditional. The colour of tile is not the only thing you should consider, but also the grout. A popular look with metro tiles is to use contrasting grout, such as black grout with white tiles. How you lay the tiles however, is totally down to personal preference. Most lay metro tiles in brick bond, but others opt for a herringbone pattern.
A splashback needs to be practical, obviously – but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. An on-trend choice for a splashback is patterned tiles, and as time goes on we are seeing them more and more in the world of interior design. Patterned tiles add interest and the key to using them in a kitchen as a splashback is to keep the rest of the space monochromatic – plain walls and simple furniture will showcase them at their best.

From stone-effect to arabesque inspired designs, the possibilities are endless.
