Help choosing splashback tiles

We'd like to have a rustic look and as modern as we can get – a design that works with the pendant lamps and french door. But not too old world or dark to keep the room looking light. The walls and floor tiles are light cream. Thanks.

    "Rustic" and "Modern" are a bit of a contradiction! I would consider a handmade ceramic tile laid in a brick pattern. Many subway tiles are machine made and every tile is identical and very plain, but with a handmade tile there is a little bit of variation and uniqueness which gives a wall a lot of the rustic character you are looking for. With a high gloss tile in a lighter shade (not white) you will get plenty of light bouncing around, will be easy to clean, and still have a slightly rustic feel that will work with the classic elements in your kitchen. Glass and large format options will look more contemporary and less rustic.

      Thank you all for your comments, at this stage I am having difficulty picking up a tile colour that will go with the dark grey under the island bench that will still keep the lightness of the room. Having difficulty picking deciding which colour of glossy grey tiles that will not make it look drab.

      I actually like the bricks you’ve covered up both colour and rustic wise

      I know I like it too but unfortunately they are not of the same colour under the covered area. and all kind of patched up grub underneath.

      We are also tired of the old bricks and not easy to clean oil on it. On the other hand I have seen glass splashback done using bricks as a photo pattern.

      it's a pity they aren't in good Nick. You could have maybe put clear glass over for easy cleaning.

      Thank you for the advice Dr Retro-I have been considering those types of tiles as in the photo but unable to choose a colour to match the dark under island bench dark grey.

      I think the idea is not to match but harmonise with door and island

      Good Morning!

      Like some of the others here, i like the bricks!! It could be an issue if as you say, they are not all the same colour though. If you do like them - you could clean them all back as much as possible and then white wash them - if you can get an even look that you are happy with, get a piece of glass cut to size to install over the top of them as a splash back - keep the feature but easy to clean and no issue with oil etc.

      Good luck!

      Are there such things as hand made tiles in Australia. i know Southern cross tiles are made to order, but where can i have handmade ones with hopefully a nuance in the tiles to bring in colour and shade component on tiles or may be a mix of orangey grey nuance???

      Diana, I always point my Melbourne clients to Urban Edge Ceramics in Richmond who have a beautiful range of hand-made ceramic tiles in a wide range of colours. They are not cheap, but you won't need a huge area for your kitchen. I don't know if the Fifth Element range is available in stockists outside Melbourne.

      My idea is to find things that work together while avoiding to look like the house is stuck in the 1950s! And have an element of uniqueness.

      Either handmade per Dr Retro or Marble in herringbone or subway. I once did subway in machine made tiles and would have preferred more character if had my chance again

      Diana, what is the specific name/brand/material/colour of the grey island cabinet? I recently looked at the Urban Edge Ceramics website Dr Retro mentioned, and they are truly unique and gorgeous. Do encaustic tiles interest you at all?

    • annb1997

      also, what is the specific name/colour of your benchtop material?

      my recommendation would be one of these....Surface Gallery do a beautiful collection of them and I have used a larger scale for a bathroom feature wall and flooring and they are really very beautiful!

      They come in a variety of patterns and work really well!

      Don't hesitate to contact me if you need further information on them/assistance.

      Annb1997; i love Dr Retro recommended website, I has given me food for thought with one of the tiles that picks up the dark grey under my island bench. I can't get this website out of my mind and the beauty of one of their copper colour tiles.

      I am in Western Australia, one of the suppliers even has to order the tiles from Melbourne.

      Annb1997, the under island bench is from polytec.com.au and it is called Cavia Lini Matt; I wish I had got one with more texture than the plain texture given by my crappy cabinet maker.

      If you want rustic modern, there are some lovely tiles around that look like wooden planks that have soft variations of colour,. Would look great in this space and easy to clean.

      I quite like your kitchen joinery materials and think your kitchen is lovely. Looking forward to seeing what you choose for splashback.

      I'm in Western Australia also, and have found that Myaree Ceramics have a wonderful range of unique tiles. They are in Norma road myaree. Very helpful with selections.

      I agree with Dr Retro - handmade subway tiles in off white or light grey would fit with the french doors and pendants whilst also not clashing with the grey island, but harmonising with it.

      For a wow factor these tiles from Beaumonts look great with the dark cabinetry. Alternatively can't go wrong with subway tiles! Good luck with choosing.

      I think something provincial is beautiful like this but in charcoal colour perhaps.

      Hi, I am at same stage of renovating kitchen, regional Western Australia, harder to get different but I have found these at my local tile shop, that had to be ordered in, not up yet but our house is 1960 build and I had the red brick exposed with glass over the top, while very unique and lots of positive comments it was in a chimney location and debris fell behind and I have had it replaced once to clean it up and it happened again so I am afraid it is going, I am covering with same stone as bench top in fire place but I am using some marble tiles on other area. I wanted the stone behind stove top for cleaning purposes but I love the tiles I have selected I hope they look as good once up, I agree about not wanting house stuck too much in 50/60, my bricks were red and I found it quite dark when cooking as well, I am looking forward to clean white behind stove, I actually found the harshness of the old brick a bit depressing.. I don't think industrial look is for me .. I love your lights I think I actually had them on my list... the whole look looks fabulous, I hope you are surviving, I have had enough of cooking in the laundry but I must say I could write a book on the creative gourmet using $29 electric frying pan from target, I have fallen in love with it. :)

      You are very resourceful, wuff. All of those tiles & stone materials are lovely, particularly the veined ones. I hope you will share pics of your finished kitchen project. Cheers!

      Hi Diana,

      How did you go?

      Thought I’d share a pic of one of our clients that used artificial green wall panels for a unique splashback idea!

      We chose these tiles from Souther Cross Ceramics. They come is many patterns and colours. We wanted a feature and not boring.

      Just make it orange/yellow (rust) glass splash back. It will look good against black and gray and give the kitchen a pop of colour.
