To ask if you have a mirrored kitchen splash back?

I'm planning my new kitchen and initially chose a speckly finish to the mirrored splash back. The idea is obviously that the speckly bits disguise splashes. I'm increasing thinking of just a normal silver mirror finish, though, I'm worried that what I've chosen might be a bit dark.
If you have a mirrored splash back do you like it? Would you have one again or do you wish you hadn't bothered?

I have one and love it. It dies disguise marks. A plain mirror would have looked too harsh I think.

Don't suppose you have a pic? I'd love to see it. I've put a large mirror across the space currently and it looks good, I think, mainly because I'm in it 🤪

I’ve sent you a link to the kitchen companies website that shows our kitchen.

I think they are going to look incredibly dated in a very short space of time, tbh. I wouldn't get one.

I put in glass splashbacks several years ago, which are semi-reflective. They're silvered but also textured, so they bounce light around, reflect vague shapes & also catch under-cupboard lights etc. with a very pretty effect. They don't give a complete reflection of the room. I love them.

I got a specialist glass merchant to cut & fit them. I didn't realise mirrored splashbacks were a thing now.

Just re-read OP. Ours have a tiny, regular pattern as well as the soft texture effect. Marks do show up.

Thanks very much. I can't really see how they would look dated...it's very hard though isn't it to second guess what might look awful in a few years?
Any other advice/opinions? I suppose my big worry is that it will show up any splash marks immediately and look a bit mucky all the time.
