The best glass splashbacks for black and white kitchens
Black and White Kitchen Splashbacks
Black and white kitchen splashbacks are known as a safe option in interior design – but that doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish or daring. Using contemporary cabinetry, trying unexpected combinations, and updating materials will all bring this elegant palette up to the moment.
The classic combination of black and white is forever pleasing to the eye. The crisp contrast between these opposing shades creates clean lines and a visual clarity that’s familiar and comforting. From chequered flooring, a trend that dates all the way back to Roman times, to bold Art Deco patterns, or chic Parisian apartments with white painted walls and black wrought iron balconies, a monochrome palette has long conveyed self-assured good taste and sophisticated style. It’s also a look that works with every style and era of property and offers a neutral backdrop for colourful accents and unique decorative pieces.
If you’ve chosen a black-and-white colour scheme as the starting point for your kitchen design, consider using a glass splashback as part of your plan. The uninterrupted surface of a glass panel – with no grout to get in the way – will enhance the clean-cut shapes and sleek lines that a monochrome interior provides. Here are some of the options to consider.
White
Although combining white units with a black worktop or black kitchen splashback is a popular choice, reversing the trend looks equally as stylish. The owners of this gorgeous kitchen have chosen to pair a glossy white glass panel with matt black units, which is a great way to bring in some visual variety.
Black sparkle
Perhaps you love the idea of a black splashback but are worried it may be too severe. Bring some fun by adding our Glitter finish to your panel! Shown here is our Rainbow Glitter option which mixes multi-coloured sparkle into the paint, giving a subtly playful edge to the finished product.
