Ways You Can Personalise a Glass Splashback in Your Kitchen
When you design a custom kitchen, you can personalise it based on your tastes and needs. One way to do this is to install a glass splashback, which can be adjusted in countless ways.
Colours
Glass splashes allow unlimited colour choices, as you can back-paint the panels in a shade you choose from sample swatches. Like when you choose a tint of wall paint, you'll see many nuances and variations of each colour. With blue, for example, swatches will hint at blue-green, blue-grey, light and dark blue, muted and bright blue. With such a wide colour spectrum, you can easily adjust the splashback to the kitchen decor. You could benefit from selecting other components that provide fewer options such as benches, cabinets and floor coverings. After that, you could choose the perfect splashback shade to match.
Printed Images
You don't need to opt for uniform colours for glass splashbacks. You can print the panel backs with any image you want, which you can get from online image websites with many different alternatives. You can choose a cityscape or a forest, woodland scene. Or you might prefer a still-life photo of fruits and vegetables. Having the ability to print an image offers opportunities for faux texture. You could print a red brick picture, white marble with black striations or ceramic tiles of any contour.
Shape and Size
You can adapt a glass splashback to create any kind of surface on the walls. You could cover the traditional span from the counter to the top cabinets. Alternatively, create a unique look by covering areas of the kitchen from wall to floor. Contractors will measure the specified space, including cut-outs for electrical outlets and other items like the stovetop and hub. They'll then trim the panels off-site into the required shape. Once they produce the panels, they can't change the glass. Therefore, the tempered safety glass cannot be cut after the treatment. Thus, you should be sure of the desired shape before ordering.
Glass Types
During a custom kitchen design, you can also choose between transparent and frosted glass for your splashback. Transparent glass brings light-reflective surfaces into the kitchen, creating a bright and fresh ambience. Frosted panels give a soft shimmer as the obscure glass mellows the colours on the back. For a bold look, transparent glass will emphasise vibrant reds and yellows. For a calmer vibe, you could go with sea-green behind frosted panels.
