Nowhere will you find more creative freedom than when choosing a splashback for your kitchen. Sure, a splashback's primary purpose is to protect the underlying wall from cooking splatters, grease and grime, but don't be afraid to wield this kitchen shield as a powerful design weapon, too-a place to inject creativity and interest. From rustic terracotta tiles to smooth concrete, alluring veined marble or timber planks, there's an endless variety of splashback materials, colours, finishes and layouts that can dictate the overall style of the heart of your home.To achieve the splashback of your dreams, eschew mainstream styles and opt for a unique design that suits your home and lifestyle, plus expresses your personality. Read on to see our pick of designs making a splash.
American dream
Sumptuous marble surfaces are a lesson in luxury. Case in point? The elegant marble splashbacks and benchtops in the Shaker-inspired kitchen of this New York apartment (right), streaked with eye-catching dark veining. Designed by British cabinetmaker Plain English, this Georgian-inspired kitchen fuses modern appliances - spot the Miele induction cooktop - with vintage finds and heritage design, such as the detailed brass hardware, handy styled shelving and Folgate cabinetry doused in a soft white hue. Grounded by dark timber flooring, which complements the marble tones, this serene space might just be the 'America's sweetheart' of kitchen design.
