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.

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.
