3 Design Ideas for Your New Kitchen Splash-back

We love those little spaces in every home that are wide open for free-form design, such as kitchen splash-backs. Thanks to their prominent location, a little something "special" in a splash-back can serve to draw your whole kitchen together.

Here are some of our favorite kitchen splash-back ideas.

We love the way the lighter, varied hues of this mosaic (below) play against the darker, more uniform HanStone Quartz countertop in Winter Riviera .

Here we see checkered tan and brown glass tiles play against stark Bright White Staron countertops.

It's usually not budget-friendly or hygienic to install mosaic tiles over a large area, so the kitchen backsplash is the perfect place to put in a statement piece without breaking the bank.

We especially recommend this if you're going through the process of pulling up and replacing a beloved but damaged area of tile elsewhere in your home. A tile mosaic allows you to salvage old tile and turn it into a statement piece.

Continuous with the Counters

Our fabricators find that using the same material for the splash-back as for the counters is one of the most popular kitchen splash-back ideas. Why? It always looks amazing, the material will be just as easy to clean as the counter itself, and there's virtually no room for design error.

Use Unusual Materials

In this kitchen, a light stone splash-back runs all the way up the kitchen wall, complementing the HanStone Sandcastle countertops as well as the hardwood floors. Splash-backs that are or seem to be made of unusual materials like wood, brick, or stone can create a unique, striking appearance, especially if they are used on a whole wall. If you choose such an unusual route, be sure that the overall design and style of your kitchen can support such a distinctive splash-back!
