10 kitchen splash backs you'll fall in love with

The kitchen is one of the most well-loved rooms in the house, and for a good reason; it is the centre of the family, and it can get messy! Here are some ideas on kitchen splash back designs to liven up the kitchen and keep the cooking splatters manageable. - by Better Homes and Gardens

Glass panels

A glass panel splash back is a great way to add a glossy texture to your kitchen, which works great in combination with matte textures.

Dark grout

White subway tiles with a dark grey grout keeps it light but gives a vintage feel to the kitchen. Dark grout is also much more forgiving than light when it comes to food splatters!

Elongated tiles

Elongated rectangular tiles have a stretching effect and can make your kitchen appear longer. Stick to a light colour scheme to keep the room feeling open.

Bright accent colour splash back

A standout colour strip of splash back through the kitchen complements basic neutrals (greys, whites, blacks) for a fresh look. Tip; keep the ceiling and bench top white to avoid going too dark.

Brick

A concrete splash back is another way to create a rustic look in the kitchen. This kitchen contrasts a bare red brick lay with a tessellation of square rock pieces for a natural Spartan effect.

Feature

Use your splash back as an excuse for a feature wall in your kitchen! You could use colourful circular tiles to create a fun, interesting look.

Small ceramic tiles

Small ceramic tiles are a classic option, which enable you to create a mosaic pattern with a few choice colours. Shades of grey are on-trend, giving a modern twist to a classic country kitchen.

Recycled wine bottles

The glass used for this splash back is made of recycled wine bottles; a resourceful and cheap idea that still maintains that glassy effect.

Whitewashed wooden paneling

A modern European twist on the rustic wooden look. Pair with blue for a Greek-isle inspired aesthetic.

Wooden paneling

Natural timber paneling gives a touch of rusticity to the kitchen, paired with a stone bench top. The timber is the feature, but keep the actual splash back small and made of a non-porous material to catch the splatters.
