Choosing a splashback is an exciting but overwhelming experience with a large variety of colours, materials and designs to choose from you can be left frazzled. Your splash back will become a focal point in your kitchen so it needs to suit your kitchen theme and personal style preferences. Follow our guide to discover your ideal splashback.
Kitchen Surroundings
Prioritise making your splashback match your kitchen bench top as your bench top finish and material helps to eliminate splashback possibilities. For example, if your bench top were metal you would not choose a tile splashback. Consider your kitchen décor and style to then decide on what splashback material you would like. Modern kitchens suit glass splashbacks the most as glass offers versatility and range. While, traditional homes suit tile splashbacks.
Glass
Glass splashbacks offer the most flexibility with numerous colours to choose from and emits a streamlined look. Glass is a perfect option that will suit many kitchen styles and compliment your kitchen’s surroundings. The benefits of choosing glass are low maintenance, easy to clean, affordable choice, grout free and heat resistant. Many are unaware, but glass splashbacks also include window and mirror styles. Both of these styles add light and open up any space making the space brighter and seem larger. Light frosting on glass is also available.
Tile
Tile splashbacks offer versatility with endless amounts of mosaic designs to classic subway designs to choose from. It’s a unique way to introduce some character into your kitchen with so many shapes and patterns to choose from the possibilities are endless. Tiles can be a bit of work due to grout cleaning. We recommend choosing a darker grout colour to minimise the need for cleaning. Tiles are easy to install, cost effective and great for those who are eco-friendly if ceramic tiles are chosen. Tiles are a traditional form of splashbacks that have the ability to transform your kitchen. Go for an oversized splashback that dominates your kitchen from bench to cupboards or ceiling that wraps around your preparation area for a dramatic look.
Stone
Natural stone such as marble and limestone are luxurious splashback options that come with a price and require great care to remain in good condition with regular sealing. Other stone options such as granite bring a beautiful look similar to natural stone into your kitchen without the large price tag. Granite and Caesar stone are more affordable than natural stone, though, they are still pricey. Stone offers a stylish and unique design to your kitchen, seamless look, is easy to clean, durable and grout free. Using dark stone creates a contrasting effect if a neutral colour palette is used and adds warmth with personality into the kitchen.
