No longer an afterthought, bold splashbacks (also referred to as backsplashes) will be making waves in 2025, enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of even the smallest culinary space.
‘Characterised by intricate patterns, diverse materials, and bold colours, backsplashes can serve as statement pieces that transform a kitchen’s overall look and feel,’ explains Mike Whitfield, luxury interior expert at Lusso.
Mosaic tiles, including kit kat, metro, baton, and linear, can be laid out in various patterns, such as herringbone, chevron and brick bond.
Paul at Wren Kitchens is also championing these expressive splashbacks as an easy way to lift a neutral space. ‘Plain tiles in a grid pattern are a practical and attractive choice for kitchen splashbacks,’ he says. ‘Classic options include white bevelled-edge tiles with dark grout or black tiles with white grout.’
