BACKSPLASH BLENDING TRENDING KITCHEN DESIGN
Backsplash Blending Trending Kitchen Designs
1. Can you explain what backsplash blending is and why it's gaining popularity in kitchens in 2024?
A backsplash is essentially the centrepiece of your kitchen, acting as an extension of the kitchen counter. Backsplash blending is when you seamlessly blend a range of different textures together. This act is growing in prominence, likely because it gives indecisive owners the chance to blend together a couple of their favourite design schemes. The backsplash is typically positioned around the stove, although some people choose to spread their blends out further.
2. What materials (like limestone, marble, terrazzo, etc) are being used for this?
Some of the most popular backsplash materials include marble, porcelain and glass among others.
3. Where is it being used? Behind the stove, in the entire kitchen, does it go up the entire wall, or is it a half wall? Be specific and share if there is more than one way to do it or a project where you did it multiple ways.
Most backsplashes only extend the kitchen counter by a couple of inches although some have stretched as far as the ceiling. Backsplash blending is becoming more and more commonplace with each passing year.
4. What type of homes is this most popular/seen most in? Farmhouse, Scandanavian, high-end luxury homes, or can everyday homes use it too, etc.?
Blended backsplashes aren't limited to any particular type of house, although they are primarily found in homes belonging to younger generations. It's ultimately seen as a modern, forward-thinking trend.
5. Cost and benefits of this trend. Is a blended backsplash better than a separate backsplash? Are separate backsplash and different countertops no longer appealing? Or do both work?
The price of a blended backsplash can vary depending on the materials used. Those who stick mostly to ceramic tiles can get it done relatively cheaply, whereas those who go for the fancier materials will likely end up paying more. A traditional backsplash can still be incredibly effective. Blended backsplashes are simply seen as the more exciting and experimental prospect right now. There is currently no telling how long the trend will last, even if it's currently in full swing.
