Designing a kitchen is a really exciting process, as there are countless things to think about. We need to decide what sort of kitchen units, worktops, lighting, flooring, etc. we want. The with a kitchen splashback We would like to answer one of the most frequently asked questions on this subject: is it important for it to be made from the same material as the worksheet?
The short answer is no. Given the seemingly endless range of kitchen splashbacks on offer in shops, it’s a fair question to ask how we should go about choosing the one that best suits the atmosphere of our kitchen. In many cases, choosing the same material as the worktop – such as quartz, granite or Technistone – can work very well, but we don’t necessarily have to stick rigidly to this.
But what should we base our choice on, then?
Break your kitchen down into its constituent parts to create a cohesive scheme of colours and patterns that complement one another. If you want to achieve a cohesive, monochrome look, choose a kitchen splashback that matches your worktop.
If, on the other hand, you want to create a bit of a special effect, then focus on the contrast; the back wall can even be a different texture or colour.
Sometimes, people prefer a uniform, neutral colour. To break up this monotony, we can play around with textures. In this kitchen, for example, white is the dominant colour, but whilst the worktop is made of a stone-effect material, the splashback features a mosaic-like pattern.
You can have great fun playing with light too
In the modern kitchen, the lighting design A crucial point. Especially when there is less natural light entering the room. The colour of the worktop and kitchen splashback may „appear to change” in different parts of the kitchen, due to varying lighting conditions. This problem can be eliminated by planning the lighting appropriately.
It is also important to view the fabric samples in person, as this allows us to see how they react to different levels of light. If we are unsure, the kitchen designer It can help us make a choice and plan the right lighting too.
In modern kitchens, it is also common to install LED lighting behind the kitchen splashback, which illuminates the entire surface. This brings this area into the focus of the kitchen.
Let’s not forget about the practical session either
When choosing both the kitchen splashback and the worktop, there are two further crucial factors to bear in mind, apart from the design. One of these is the question of quality. Depending on the quality, we can choose from materials in a wide range of price categories. Everyone has a budget to work with, but it is worth bearing in mind that both the kitchen splashback and the worktop are difficult to replace, so it is important that the items chosen are built to last. Always choose the best-quality materials you can afford.
Another important consideration is functionality. Let’s not forget that these are the surfaces we’ll need to clean most often. Ask at the kitchen showroom how each material can be kept clean – don’t make a fool of yourself.
