STATEMENT KITCHEN SPLASHBACK IDEAS
Wilsonart
Not only is your kitchen splashback a functional element of your design , but it ’ s also a great way to add style , colour , texture and pattern to the space . Elliott Fairlie , product manager for kitchens at Bushboard , outlines five different statement splashback ideas to inject personality into your kitchen :
1 . WOOD
“ Wood is a popular finish used in kitchen design , but usually you ’ ll find it included through worktops or furniture . Woodfinish splashbacks are great option for anyone who wants to add texture and interest to their kitchen in a subtle but intriguing way .
“ When incorporating this look into your kitchen , I would recommend opting for a wood-effect aluminium splashback , such as those in our Alloy range , as they ’ re fire safe and waterproof , meaning there is no need to protect it with an expensive glass cover .
“ The options for wood-effect splashbacks are vast , with something to suit all tastes . Those who love the look of a deep oak could opt for a Viking Oak splashback , and complement it with a matching display shelf for crockery and kitchen utensils , oak cabinetry and a slate-effect work surface .
“ The fluted effect is a growing trend in home and interiors , and pairs beautifully with neutrals and black . It can create a gorgeous point of interest , without overpowering the room . Opting for a fluted-effect splashback means you can use it across your whole kitchen , even behind the hob .
“ If you ’ re looking for something a little bit extra , why not opt for a wood finish that boasts an additional design ? Our Heritage Walnut splashback has a subtle yet opulent geometric design that shines when paired with gold accents and deep colours such as navy .
