There are many different types of stylish splash backs out there to choose from, and even though it’s essentially tiling to the walls, it can help bring a real sense of class and style to your kitchen. Modern splash backs tend to be narrow and long, and it means that you don’t have to install as many tiles as you would in the olden days.

There are many different patterns to choose from, and you don’t always have to go for a block colour. Dark shiny tiled splash backs can help glossy units stand out a bit more, and two of the main aspects of a kitchen that you should take into consideration are work surfaces and wall and base units. If you have very traditional units, perhaps a classical pine sort, then installing some modern glossy tiles may not be very complementary.

It’s important to know the different types of tiles that are out there, and in a kitchen tiling can be a bigger decision than many would first think, but choose correctly and you kitchen can boast style and class.
