Help me choose a splashback
Discussion
Hello,
I am in the process of selecting a glass splashback.
I am not sure whether to go for a bright colour like lime green or to play it safe and get something else.
Above is what it looks like colour wise.
To help the floor is going to be a light grey, polished porcelain.
Many thanks.

I thought you might respond..:: the only issue with light for me is that my worktop is also White which might make it look like a White wash with no contrast.
However, it really suits your kitchen due to the contrasting wood top.
This glass malarky is both my least and most favourite part of the kitchen fit. I love the process of it's cutting and the principle however choosing a sensible colour is proving tough! A bold colour might be a regret in a few years...hmmmm..

It's tricky because you've got two 'holes' to fill. Maybe it would have been better to have the Corian all the way... too late now.I might just leave them matt white.

What do you think of the Corian worktop then?
How does it compare to granite in terms of cost and useability?
We have been quoted over 3k for granite but we're open to other cheaper (much cheaper) options.
My worktop is actually silestone. As much as I liked the idea of corian, it isn't ideal as you will have issues with hot items being placed on the surface. Not that I do that often but it just takes one error and the worktop will be destroyed.How does it compare to granite in terms of cost and useability?

In terms of cost, quartz is dearer than granite and corian is equally expensive so you won't be saving any money!
However the quality and look it gives the kitchen is amazing.

Play it safe i think, black/white/grey glass or stainless steel.
I love the look of all the crazy colours i really do but i can't help thinking that in 5 years or so they will look utterly ridiculous.
Another alternative is a nice stone slab, cant remember what worktops you have but something like staturio marble is stunning,modern and timeless.
