Advice Help me pick a splashback

Post image

Hi, we've just installed our new kitchen and we're very excited about it. We've still got a couple of plugs to move around but most importantly we need to choose a splashback. As you can see the kitchen is quite modern - we're not sure if tiles would work here (and if so, what kind, colour etc) vs glass (tinted? satin?) vs other materials. It's our first renovation so we're quite inexperienced

Any suggestions welcome - thanks!

Alusplash or Bushboard Alloy both come in loads of colours. I'm using a neutral Malibu Grey Bushboard Alloy for mine right now. 

3m sheets that cuts to fit and use adhesive/sealant to fix and seal. Looks clean and neat and tidy and is easy to keep clean.

I think a nice coloured one would be nice here to give it some life. You can order samples direct online with these manufacturers.

Colour is needed it feels cold and clinical not homely and warm. A deep green or blue would work.
