Kitchen Glass Splashback Colours and Designs

How to choose the right colour splashback for your kitchen?

 Lets say you need a simple square or rectangle toughened piece of glass for behind your hob. This is something that anybody can order and install themselves. If you would like a "Full Height Splash-back" to protect the entire wall from oil and food splashes we offer the full professional service, but the hardest part would probably be choosing the colour or image that suits you. First thing you would need to do is decided if you would like to play safe and blend in with the rest of your kitchen or if you would like it to contrast  or  go totally bold. For safe option we recommend either the same colour as you wall or worktop.
We don't recommend plain (clear) glass if possible - even-tough it seems that is will be the easiest and cost effective option and  you will be able to re-paint the wall and ..... In fact it's difficult to clean as you have no access behind to it. This option, however is really good if you wish to preserve a natural look of an old barn brick wall in your kitchen of instance... However, if you are looking for quality contemporary design statement you might like to look at our Contemporary Mirror Stripes Design.
This is a particular splashback design from Creoglass collection that  doesn't date and even 20 years down the line, this still will be a quality kitchen glass splashback. It comprises of horizontal mirror lines running all-round, fine rainbow sparkle in the middle band field between the lines.

This design is also available in background colour of your choice. The more exciting option is contrast of course.  This would apply to those who intend on living in their homes and not planing to put it on the market in the next year or two.  Those choosing contrast often know what they want and have the gift of seeing something in their ‘minds eye’ before they have even started the project…not all us have this gift though. Lets say you have neutral colours in your kitchen, such as a off white.  Each colour has an undertone colour, this could be a slight green, blue, orange or any other colour for that matter.  Use that undertone colour and enhance it to a bolder version.  This bolder colour, lets say a nice wine red can be brought even more to life by adding a dusting of rainbow sparkle.  This will not be very obvious but in certain light will give off a shimmer which adds more beat to the melody of ‘just wine red’.
Another option is to find other accessories such as containers or appliances and branch off from those colours. If you have photos, pictures or cushions in your breakfast nook, use those colours to bring the kitchen as well as kitchenette dining areas all together as one. If you have nothing of colour in your kitchen, now is the opportunity to go out and purchase a few new items for your kitchen area and create a whole new look…without breaking the bank or disrupting your home too much.
Lets say you have purchased pink tea and coffee tins with matching kettle and toaster, you can match this with the same shade or you can go bolder with something with a tricolour spectrum like our Purple Haze. If you desire to make more of a statement about you and your passions.  Photos or prints can be replicated onto our toughened glass to a very high quality.  

The prints are very easy to incorporate into the most conservative of kitchens, it would be as easy as selecting a picture for a room, let it be landscape watercolour or classic Damask pattern. For small kitchens Toughened mirror can be used giving the illusion of a larger room.  If looking at yourself while you cook doesn't sound great we offer Mirror Splashbacks in grey, black and bronze colours.  The effect of opening up the room is still there but not in too much detail. Now lets say you would like to install a toughened glass splashback to make your home more appealing for a future buyer.  Take a look at all the colours that are in your kitchen, the counter top, the cupboards etc. and choose a colour that compliments both these surfaces.  If you have black granite work tops and white cupboards, go with black, white or a shade of grey. Whatever you choose make sure you are happy with your splashback because as we all know the kitchen is the heart of the home so make it a talking point.
