The popularity of white kitchen splashbacks is no coincidence. Light colours naturally make a space feel more open, and they also evoke a sense of cleanliness, freshness and simplicity. White might seem a bit boring at first glance, but with our selection below, we’d like to prove that it isn’t!
Let’s fit it out with shelves
The various shelving units look great against the white splashback. We should only place items on the open shelves that are a pleasure to look at; otherwise, it will detract from the clean, uncluttered look of our kitchen. A white splashback provides a beautiful, uniform backdrop for tastefully arranged decorative elements and displayed objects.
White and wood go well together
A white splashback opens up the space, but combining it with wooden elements is the perfect way to avoid a sterile look. The natural feel of wood lends warmth and a homely atmosphere to our kitchen. Let’s not forget that, whilst planning, we can feel free to experiment not only with the materials and colours of the kitchen cupboards and worktop, but also with the flooring. Looking at a kitchen like this fills our hearts with warmth.
The interplay between the white back wall and the light
Many people do not pay enough attention to lighting design, even though it is a crucial step in creating a harmonious interior. Finding the right light sources serves a decorative purpose, but of course we mustn’t forget that there needs to be enough light to enable us to carry out tasks in the relevant workspace. We have previously devoted an entire blog post to this topic.
The contrast of a two-tone kitchen
A white splashback also looks good with dark kitchen units. Placing them against a light background brings out the uniqueness of the kitchen units; the contrast breaks up the monotony without making the space feel cramped. As can be seen in the picture, it really works well in a two-tone kitchen like this to choose a worktop that harmonises in colour with the splashback.
Let’s not be afraid of patterns
Your splashback doesn’t have to be plain – feel free to add some texture to it. This could be a uniquely shaped tile or a tile-effect splashback, which can liven up simple kitchen cupboards with its distinctive look.
Or even a stone-effect solution, which lends an air of elegance to the whole of our kitchen. Don’t be disheartened if you can’t afford real marble; there’s a wide range of very high-quality stone-effect splashbacks offering excellent value for money to choose from.
Whilst design is a very important factor when choosing a splashback, we mustn’t forget about functionality either. As the splashback in the kitchen is primarily intended to protect the wall from splashes, don’t be surprised if you have to wipe it down after every time you cook. Choose a high-quality splashback that is easy to clean and durable, so that it retains its original shine for a long time to come.
