Hello,
soon my new build will be getting its kitchen...
... originally, I planned not to install a tile backsplash, but instead to paint the walls behind the countertop with latex paint and place a glass panel or something similar behind the stove. In hindsight, I’m less convinced about this decision and I’m considering either ordering something afterward through the kitchen supplier (plexiglass or a countertop extension halfway up to the cabinet – probably quite expensive –) or taking care of it myself.
What have you done in this situation, and what would you recommend? Perhaps someone here has also added something themselves after the fact.
Thank you very much.

wipeable wallpaper, clear varnish over wall paint, textured plaster, brick slips, natural stone imitation, paneling, chalkboard paint...I had these in my previous apartment, and I don’t think they work well at all. After about 3-4 years, they look so bad that you have to repaint. Currently, we bought suitable tiles from the hardware store and sealed them all around with silicone. It looks great and is still very affordable.

I personally had textured plaster for 13 years, which was painted and then coated with clear varnish. Always perfect!!!
Best regards, Yvonne
markus270328 Jul 2017 08:10We had a custom countertop with a printed design made by the kitchen studio. It wasn’t exactly cheap (€900), but it fits perfectly into every corner, even around the sockets. Dirt and splashes are hardly visible.
