Different back splashes

Hi, can I use two different back splashes on two different walls in my kitchen. See options and the rest of the walls mix with a plain white tile (option 3)

Normally one tiled backsplash is used in a kitchen. I’m not keen on the first two, if that’s any help!

I have tiles on one wall by the sink, and mirror in a darker area. I also have wallpaper over the other (non-cooking) side of the kitchen. It's great!

Do what works for you.

Those sockets would really annoy me- I'm miffed that the light switches at different ends of a room are out by this much! I would expect a much better job from a so called professional (I wouldn't except this from my husband who isn't). The gaping on sockets with bevelled tiles is a known issue but the gaps could have been filled. Again bleeding from dark grouts, but they should have advised that the tiles wouldn't work with the dark grout or used a tile sealer to prevent it. I've always drawn a tiling diagram, working out the best layout to avoid getting little bits of tile at the end, centralise on the wall or wrap around the corners.

Hi. The kitchen looks great, where did the fridge end up going?! I like the tiles, they will go with the units and the prism shape mirrors the table. I also like the idea of adding a different texture however I don't think the different shades of white work together (on my screen anyway!) so would look for a different shade of white . How big is the veining as choosing a different scale for the prism tile would work? You could also consider a grey grout. I'm not sure my pictures help but just showing a tile laid in a pattern with a veined worktop and sandwiching a black worktop with white units and tiles. I love the angel and boho bench, I've posted that so many times on here! These chairs aren't a wishbone and no longer available (!) but maybe a wishbone could work or something similar in shape? I might also paint the utility door in the wall colour to help it blend in?

Mirrored splash back positioning advice?

Here is a photo of the mirrored splash-back in situ. It cost £230 which included the templating and fitting. I would recommend having the glazier do the templating and fitting as they should then take responsibility if it subsequently cracks within a couple of weeks of fitting...this happened to us and the glazier came and removed the cracked one and replaced it. Apparently it can happen if the fit is tight around the cut outs. We are really pleased with it.

You could have a glass splashback as opposed to tiles. Far easier to keep clean. You could have a plain clear one, a sprayed one to your own colour choice if you offer the supplier a BS or RAL code or even look online for a more decorative one. Below is the link to a site that I’ve looked on but have not purchased from, but the range overall is fabulous. https://www.premierrange.co.uk/?utm_term=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAjwlbr8BRA0EiwAnt4MThadNjr0FYJm2GBQsfybDeaY59mU_9EZeVWRcyDAz0SEuoO-zf6zWRoC-sQQAvD_BwE
