i urgently need style advice - for my kitchen!

[monkey]

Ok, on 1 wall I have tall fridge at one end, tall oven & cupboards at other and in between have lower units with sink and upper units. The worktop is granite (black with lots of pale bluey grey), and the units are ice blue. The back wall inbetween these units is just horrible big white tiles. Have decided they must go. Seeing man on Wednesday.

Choice 1 - have the same granite as worktops. This will look sleek, smart etc but dh worried will be dark, and could also be a bit conservative?

Choice 2 - typo3.imotion.at/steinhaus.com/wsp-dekor/galerie/ just keep clicking on 'Näschte' to see all the different ones. sorry, keyboard won't let me do links, please be bothered to C&P! Aparently it's available in over 1000 different colours. I love the ones about 3 pages in with the little lights, but dh says a firm 'no'. The other one I love is the very 1st, the very bright green. But does it look cheap? WIll I go off it? Will it really match or rather, not look stupid?

I'm unfortunately not very confident with bold stylish choices, so need you to do it for me. Like I said, on the site there are about 150 examples, but when I go, aparently over 1000 to choose from, so I need some ideas.! ta

Oooh - I really like those splashbacks. They're great. Not brill on colour myself, but have another question - where will you get hold of it? Can only see Austria and Switzerland on the Kontakt bit.

I'm in switzerland. So you'd go for the colour over the granite?

care

"Reinigung
Abwischen mit haushaltüblichen Reinigungsmitteln, die keine Scheuerwirkung haben.
Vermeiden Sie daher Scheuer- oder agressive Mittel. Eigentlich genügt einfaches
abwischen mit einem Reinigungstuch. Allfällige Kalkablagerungen lösen Sie mit den
üblichen Kalklösemitteln. "

elwl, I don't cook on that side, hob on other side, only have sink there, so won't get too bad I don't think.... good point tho.

well eys but that still needs polcishing
why not jsut go for tiels?

splahing water
and limescale streaks

that just says don't use scrachy stuff. wipe with a cleaning cloth. if you get chalky bult up use duragol or whatever it's called.

Basically wipe down & don't scour it. no prob.

i coudlnt be arsed tbh but i am idle

I hate my tiles they look like shit, so you'd go for the granite or are you introducing a 'third way'? Oh blimey, this is complecated
