I also think that it can make a terrific design statement. What do you think of the idea of tiling the entire wall with subway tiles? This is of course how they were designed to be laid and this gets rid of the problem of finding a cut off point. The smaller subway tile in the image above acts as an end point and is cleverly disguised with the kitchen rack.

If you have a feature wall with a window and bespoke joinery, and you are using a feature tile, you may feel that you need to find a suitable cut off point.

This works well if you want a feature tile as it is nicely encased by benchtop and joinery. The height of the splashback is normally 600mm and you can tile this block in its entirety. If you have lower cabinets and wall cupboards with a built in range hood then your options are straight forward. I have some ideas to show you here – there isn't a right or wrong – just different effects. We now have walk in pantries, sculleries, window splashbacks, statement island benches and different options for wall cupboards and range hoods so planning splashbacks to work with these can be a challenge. ![]() With different designs of tiles and interesting layouts for kitchens we have a lot more choices to consider. But have you seen lately that designers are coming up with so many alternatives? We picked a height that ran around to the base of our kitchen wall cabinets and stuck on the tiles to this height. A tiled kitchen splashback used to be easy.
