We're locked in with our new kitchen design, waiting on the builder to remove the walls, insulate, new windows go in first before we can get it installed. Probably looking at January now I guess 
But we're unsure what to put as a splashback. To make it seem more spacious we've opted for no cupboards around the cooker (it's 900mm wide range). Initially as you can see from the render I was set on brick slip tiles (ignore the colour, they would have been more subtle and matching London yellow brick). But we've gone off that idea, and also it's not great for cleaning directly behind the cooker. We're thinking a more subtle "grungey" white brick effect behind the whole cooker wall area, but again that would be annoyingly hard to clean behind the cooker so we'd want something else there. I see people use their quartz/marble worktops behind the cooker area but that only works as a whole if you're got cupboards - otherwise it's a massive expanse of quartz which looks silly. So we probably need the white brick tiles behind the whole area, and something more easy to clean directly between the cooker and hood?
The windows will be black metal framed per my Photoshop skills on the middle pic, and on the right side we've put another unit next to the boiler unit, and made the side window much smaller. All in all it's a lot brighter than the render shows, it's south facing and we now have a lovely big velux in the roof too. Units are British racing green, and brass handles/furniture/tap.
