Eye-Catching Kitchen Backsplash Ideas

Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most eye-catching parts of any aesthetically pleasing kitchen - it’s often the first thing you notice when you walk into a new kitchen. A beautiful or bold backsplash can tie the entire kitchen together, becoming the envy of all guests. There are an endless amount of possibilities when designing a custom kitchen backsplash, and so many designers have started to push the stylistic boundaries in creating unique kitchen backsplashes. Backsplashes have become something of a canvas on which creative types have worked to make a statement that will continue to wow for years to come.

Are you looking for unique kitchen backsplash ideas to make your kitchen pop? Playing around with your backsplash finish can change the entire atmosphere and feel of your space. To help you get started on your kitchen backsplash makeover, the design experts at Kitchen Gallery have put together a list of creative kitchen backsplash ideas that we think are the perfect fit for any dream kitchen.

Glossy Finished Backsplash

A backsplash with a glossy finish can lend a more open and bright feeling to any room, as the glossiness of the finish often reflects light which in turn brightens up the surrounding space. You can enhance or downplay this by positioning light fixtures to either maximize the light reflected, or create a less reflective effect.

Full Wall Kitchen Backsplash

Many homeowners have opted to install open shelving to allow them to show off their impressive dinnerware, and to have easier access to their kitchen utensils. Full wall backsplashes are making this achievable while still adding style to the kitchen, turning the entire wall into a gorgeous backsplash.

Ceiling-Height Backsplash

The full wall kitchen backsplash look can be taken to the next level with ceiling-height kitchen backsplashes, creating a truly epic feel. This look can be achieved if there is no cabinetry above your countertop, offering a more modern feel to your kitchen that in turn feels more open and less cluttered than a more conventional space.

Colour Backsplash

Colour will always add a much-needed pop to your kitchen that textured backsplashes simply can’t easily achieve. As colour is so effective in any space, it’s perfect for use as a backsplash that will accentuate your cabinets and open-style shelving. Colour backsplashes are also much more affordable than a custom backsplash wall made of mosaic tile or other costly materials.

Mosaic Tile Backsplash

Tile backsplashes are a classic look for a reason - they never appear to be dated or out of place, always maintaining an impressive aesthetic. The tiles used by our design experts are a little bigger than the standard subway tiles usually used in these backsplash projects. This way there are fewer grout lines to clean and it adds the perception of more space.

Mirrored or Metallic Backsplashes

Both mirrored and metallic backsplashes have rapidly gained popularity over the last few years. Mirrored finishes offering a subtle reflective surface that can be a major improvement in any space, while metallic backsplashes offer an impressive look that mirrors the aesthetic of real metals without the high level of gloss.
