Bold Backsplashes

Sometimes it can seem like a boring task to decorate a bathroom or kitchen interior. They tend to be functional area of the home that often feel a little plain and uninteresting compared to the rest of the home. Well things are about to change this season with the rise of BOLD BACKSPLASHES that will create an eye-catching area of pattern and colour within your kitchen and bathroom and can be included as an addition to your current design without the need for a complete redecoration. Splashbacks are not only a practical addition to a kitchen and bathroom, but they can be used in place of traditional tiles to create a more modern look in your chosen space.

The first choice when it comes to bold backsplashes is opting for a bright and vivid colour that can be used to accent particular areas of the room. A crisp white kitchen area can be given a sleek and minimal boost with a bright red, neon or electric blue backsplash that will create a pop of colour within your kitchen or bathroom interior. For a more sophisticated bold choice then opt for deep black backsplashes that will create a bold monochrome contrast within your interior space. These styles of backsplash will look great located behind a hob, sink or preparation area in a kitchen interior or centralised around a shower, bath or basin space in a bathroom.

If pattern and print is more your style, then there are a wide variety of designs available that can be co-ordinated to your chosen interior style. If you have a modern or retro style kitchen or bathroom then a bold geometric print backsplash is sure to create a funky visual detail within the room. Opt for interlocking shapes or bold abstract style designs for a truly artistic touch. More traditional kitchens and bathrooms can also incorporate this trend with a selection of Baroque or Rococo style patterned splashbacks that work particularly well in Victorian or Edwardian style kitchens. If you wish to create a more Mediterranean inspired design, then choose a Spanish tile style pattern that can be used to accent strategic areas of the kitchen or bathroom.

There is absolutely no reason why a kitchen or bathroom can’t be as glamorous and luxurious as the rest of the home and therefore why not select some metallic or glitter effect backsplashes that will create a shimmering and illuminating finish in your kitchen or bathroom area. These styles of splashbacks work best with modern or high gloss fixtures and will draw the eye to select areas of the room. If you have crisp white bathroom then why not select some shimmering silver or black glitter splashbacks that will highlight a bath or shower area. Alternatively, if you have a modern high gloss kitchen then select some coloured glitter or shiny metallic backsplashes that can be paired with the colour of your accessories for a co-ordinated interior finish.
