Autor originalhace 6 añosThanks Dr Retro and bigreader, great suggestions. Simple is probably best. Here’s a pic of the tiles we’re using along the waterline.Dr Retro House Calls
hace 6 añosCherry Pop - great looking tiles, however your decsion to use them as splashback will depend on their size and the height of the available area to tile. With such a strong pattern you don't want to trim a tile to fit the height. The ideal solution would be to install the window so that the distance between the underside of the window architrave, near the bottom of the window, and the installed benchtop is exactly one tile in height. This will need some careful measurement and juggling of trades to get it perfect.
Or you could change your pool tile to be less of a feature such as this simple, white, square, contemporary mosaic. As it is smaller, and has no pattern then it doesn't matter if a row needs to be trimmed to fit in the available wall space.
Best of luck,

hace 6 añosHi Cherry Pop,
For your modernist white kitchen with lots of light have you considered using Glass Sheet splashbacks for this 200mm strip. You could use a white or even a fine metallic white (or any other colour you desire). They would marry your quantum quartz finish perfectly, suit the style of your kitchen, would not detract from your beaitiful Kitchen and are really easy to maintain.

hace 6 añosHi Cherry,
You mentioned that you love colour so I thought I’d mention a truly unique splashback idea. Have you considered artificial green wall panels? This can easily be covered with glass so that it is easy to clean and maintain. Check out our portfolio for more inspo!Cheers,

hace 6 añosHi. Why did the position of windows change? Were they installed at incorrect height or as per the drawings?
The windows for our kitchen would have been installed higher in the wall than shown on our drawings, and fortunately we caught it in time for it to be corrected. If it's not too late for yours...

Autor originalhace 6 añosUnfortunately we didn’t realise the windows were too high until too late. It wasn’t what we originally planned but we’re okay with it. Thanks though annb1997.annb1997
hace 6 añosI think if it were me and the pool was situated close to the windows I would not want my view of the water busied with colourful tiles, albeit a short wide strip of them. Like bigreader suggested, the same material as your benchtop would look good.
Having said that, if the pool is not that close to the windows, perhaps colourful tiles won't detract or compete with the view.
The bottom edge of our windows meet at the benchtop, and we also have a lap pool just on other side of window. This was intentional so that when we are preparing meals or in the kitchen, we have the calming view of the water.

hace 6 añosNo worries, Cherry Pop. 200mm isn't going to impact your enjoyment of view of water. Cheers.
