Glass Splashback Ideas

Colored Glass Splashbacks

• Colored glass splashbacks are a popular choice for modern kitchens. These types of splashbacks are often back-lit to further accentuate their color and can become the center of attention when the kitchen is dimly lit. Colored glass splashbacks are usually purchased in a single piece, although some designs allow for multiple different pieces of colored glass to be used. If you plan to back-light your colored glass splashback, it is wise to work with a professional contractor that is familiar with taking on such jobs.

Glass-Framed Image Splashbacks

• If you want to incorporate a large image or mural into your kitchen, consider a glass-framed image splashback. In this design, the image of your choice is mounted flush against the wall and is protected by a glass plate that acts as the splashback. These splashbacks can be difficult to install, however; it is advisable to call a contractor rather than taking on the job yourself.

Mirror Glass Splashbacks

• If your kitchen is on the small side, one of the best ways to go about making it seem larger is to utilize mirrors, and a mirror glass splashback is ideal for this purpose. Mirrored splashbacks can add depth to your kitchen, and are typically no more difficult or expensive to install than glass splashbacks that are transparent. Note that mirrored splashbacks must be cleaned on a regular basis, as buildup can be quite unattractive on a mirrored surface.

Slumped Glass Splashbacks

• Slumped glass is treated to look rippled in appearance, adding texture and a modern feel to your kitchen. Splashbacks made out of slumped glass can also help make a kitchen feel more relaxing, with the design resembling waves of water. In terms of pricing, slumped glass tends to fall on the more expensive end.
