Dark grout
White subway tiles with a dark grey grout keeps it light but gives a vintage feel to the kitchen. Dark grout is also much more forgiving than light when it comes to food splatters!

Elongated tiles
Elongated rectangular tiles have a stretching effect and can make your kitchen appear longer. Stick to a light colour scheme to keep the room feeling open.

Bright accent colour splash back
A standout colour strip of splash back through the kitchen complements basic neutrals (greys, whites, blacks) for a fresh look. Tip; keep the ceiling and bench top white to avoid going too dark.

Brick
A concrete splash back is another way to create a rustic look in the kitchen. This kitchen contrasts a bare red brick lay with a tessellation of square rock pieces for a natural Spartan effect.

Small ceramic tiles are a classic option, which enable you to create a mosaic pattern with a few choice colours. Shades of grey are on-trend, giving a modern twist to a classic country kitchen.

Wooden paneling
Natural timber paneling gives a touch of rusticity to the kitchen, paired with a stone bench top. The timber is the feature, but keep the actual splash back small and made of a non-porous material to catch the splatters.
