Kitchen Upgrade

Interior designing helps homeowners achieve a home that does not only reflect

their lifestyle, but exudes a comfortable atmosphere as well. From bedrooms to

living rooms, homeowners aim to have a setting that relaxes the occupants and

invites them in.

Among all these rooms, the kitchen is a challenging part to decorate. The

homeowner and the designer face a situation that requires them to come up with a

creative yet convenient set-up. Among all the elements, the splashback receives the

most attention in the kitchen, thus deserving a well-thought out concept.

Doodle Art

The homeowner can also create a more

laidback aura by painting the glass

splashback with doodles. Restaurants

and cafés normally use this concept, but

it is applicable to homes as well.

Get inspiration from coffeehouse

chalkboard and paint mock-up menus on

the splashbacks. Café owners tend to

choose pastel hues to stand out from the

dark-coloured chalkboard or glass. The

homeowner may go for these schemes or

select tones that will complement the

kitchen colours.

Here are ideas that spruce up the

kitchen through splashback design:

The Colour Play

The most common approach in

conceptualising the splashback is by

using a colour palette. This style gives the

kitchen a simple yet sophisticated

atmosphere through a singularly

coloured glass.

Take the most prominent colour in the

kitchen and take its complimentary hue,

or reverse this and let the splashback

take the more striking colour. Common

combinations are white and crimson,

white and pastel green, and chestnut and

corn.

Classic Tiles or Bricks

Some homeowners prefer the typical look of glass tiles or stone bricks. This approach

gives the kitchen a homey and classic vibe. This concept, though, needs more

maintenance and is difficult to clean.

Choose small glass tiles and create colourful mosaic as the main design. The tiles can

also follow a pattern for a neater look. This concept is applicable to the bricks as well.

To protect the bricks, have a protective glass installed to prevent stains and

discolouration.

The splashback is a basic yet important focal point in a kitchen design. It is a blank

canvass that provides the homeowner an establishing piece for the area’s scheme.

Choosing the right concept can make or break the kitchen’s over-all appearance.
