I need some ideas on finish my kitchen...

What i was thinking was a lime green glass splash back behind the hob, then tile (cream) the rest of the wall up the end of the wall the sink is on, and to fridge side of the door to the kitchen, then paint ther rest cream.. but im not sure if that will be to much cream?
Im happy with my proposed set up just not sure about colours !?

Any ideas would be great, im very open to any suggestions ! - also any flooring suggestions would be good!

im not keen on doing a whole wall of splash back / coloured glass though before thats suggested!

Can't you just go with white tiles? Missus showed me a lime green splashback the whole way round, but was on a completely white kitchen.

We have a random multicolour checkerboard thing with cream, green, red and blue.

Was here when we moved in and is a country-style kitchen but I love it.

White is boring and black is too dark imo.

Painted walls and matching upstanding like mine.

I intended to get a cappuccino glass splash back for my hob. You can order them made to measure in loads of colours and stick them on the wall.

Imo some black/grey tiles about 6/7 high (depandant on size) and paint the top half.

Bronze tinted mirror, may need to paint the pale blue wall sections to suit as well. Not sure on cost but will look better than tiles.

TBH that light blue you have on the other walls goes nice with it and keeps it bright without going white/cream.
