It can be hard when renovating a kitchen to coordinate all the various elements such as cabinetry, flooring, and counters. That's why an ultra-adaptable glass splashback is an ideal choice. To find out ways to customise yours, read on.

Colours

When you install a glass splashback, you can choose from diverse colours in a sample picker. You can select between many shades and variations similarly to when choosing wall paint. Cover the glass with beige, cream, mint or navy. Otherwise, make a statement with vibrant red, chartreuse or yellow. With a vast range of options to choose from, you'll be able to match the glass to the rest of the decor easily. Plus, you won't have to worry about the colour fading or scratching even with constant wiping, as the paint covers the back of the panels.

Many other materials like stone or ceramic tiles don't offer such design freedom — they allow you to choose from the finished tiles. You don't design and colour the tiles yourself as you do with the glass splashback panels.

Prints

You don't need to stick with uniform colours. With a glass splashback, you can choose a digital image from an online picture site, which contractors can print on the panels' backs. This way, you can incorporate a cityscape, a wooded forest, or a vintage wallpaper botanical pattern into your kitchen decor. You could print texture images on the glass. Imagine a picture of a red brick wall or a photo of exclusive black and white streaked marble that you wouldn't be able to afford if real. Consider the shape of the splashback area when picking a picture to ensure it will work within the proportions.

Shapes

A glass splashback consists of several large panels that join seamlessly across the wall. You can create any shape you like. For example, spread the panels between the upper cabinetry and counter. Otherwise, cover a section of the wall from floor to ceiling. You can make a statement with a unique shape that will stand out from the standard.

Contractors will measure the required area in your kitchen before decorating and cutting the panels off-site. Once the panels are finished, your contractor will bring them to your home and attach them to the walls. The benefit of a glass splashback installation is that attaching the splashback is relatively quick. Bear in mind that once the toughened safety glass panels are processed, they can't be cut afterwards. Thus, accurate measurements are crucial.
