Kitchen Splashback Design

If you really need extra light, you could put in a skylight or one of the fake LED skylights (solar powered).

 

Should you go for a window as a splashback, put clear glass in it.
You can easily put a frosted film over the glass at a later date should you decide you dislike the neighbors looking in and drooling while you cook..............

 

windows on the north are ideal - how large are they, how far away from the kitchen? North facing widows (if properly designed) allow sun in winter and exclude sun in summer - the best light!

 

Thanks @Scott No Mates

 

lol @Stoffo agree look is mostly due to clear glass. thanks

 

thanks @Tufan Chakir closest glass sliding door is roughly 5m then another one and good size windows 8-9m. they are on north side. sliding door opens to decking.

 

Thanks @wylie

 

How do you properly design windows to exclude sun, is it a matter of them sitting higher on the wall?

 

Basically, yes , all depends on the building design really.

Higher up the wall means that an eave can shaddow the window in summer when the sun is higher/more overhead.

Whilst in winter with the sun lower on the horizon it is more likely to shine in directly.
