Splashback colour - help needed

DDJ
hace 6 años
We are getting glass splashbacks in our new kitchen. The kitchen is approx 4.5x5.5m & has lots of natural light as well as spotlights & under unit lights. Would we be ok going for a dark colour? Really like this Mulberry colour but worried we'll lose the light feeling. There are units in 2 L-shapes either side of the kitchen so the splashbacks would be on both sides & under windows. The units are taupe, worktop is taupe quartz with mirror specks & the floor is charcoal grey tiles with a lighter fleck. We would like a 'colour' as opposed to mirror ....or should we leave it white? Thanks.

    I think the strong, deep colour will be fantastic. We use this a lot. It will be quite reflective and will bounce the light around. Look at the Decoglaze website for examples. The white and grey is a bit safe and bland.

    Hi,

    I think taupe and deep purples are a fantastic combination.

    The glass will bounce natural light and artificial light if you are worried about it becoming too dark; if you haven't already, consider LEd strip lighting under the wall cabinets,this will offset the splashback really nicely.

    If you feel the purple is too dark, consider a shade few notches lighter.

    Hi We have supplied and installed a similar bright colour for a contemporary kitchen in white and light, plus a glass wall. Here are the images to give you an idea...

    The Mulberry will work really well - we love doing kitchens like this, with a subtle palette for units/worktops and then a bold splash of colour in glass. As others have said, the reflective surface of the glass will help to minimise light being absorbed, and if you have under-couter lighting, it will make it really "pop".

    If you're still a little worried, you could lighten the tone a little either with white or grey added to the colour values, but personally, I'd go for it!

    Here is one that we did a few years ago in Holland Park. The floor and worktops were basalt and the kitchen was from Boffi.

    It depends on whether you like living with a windolene bottle and cloth in your hand if you go for glass or perspex walls as gloss cupboards are bad enough. Youre keeping the colours very "safe" there, so anything as bold and bright as you like, future buyers would look and see it as an easy blanket change.... decorate for YOU
