There are a bounty of colours and materials on offer for your splashback which add a level of sophistication and focal point to the kitchen.
But how do you decide what to splash on for your splashback?
Read on as our Henley interior design team shares their splashback trend insights and what is catching their eye in 2025.
Tiling it
From the sleek subway tile, the head turning hand chiselled Moroccan tile to eye-catching patterned tiles, these choices evoke a range of emotions and reactions from the subtle to the loud and proud.
“With tiles, you can either select a tile which blends in with the cabinetry or a choose a tile which will make the kitchen pop. Think about not only what you takes your fancy today but what has timeless appeal” the team explain.
“We absolutely love the kit-kat -shaped mosaic tiles with their modern and unique look. They really add to the kitchen’s dramatic style which we adore. And you can also use grout to play on the tile effect and pattern.”
The panache of porcelain
For the ultimate in sophistication, why not consider the impressive extra-large porcelain panel tiles. No need for grout, this splashback choice has an air of opulence to it that is stunning to look at and easy to care for.
“The panels, with its magnificent marble or concrete look, will complement the cabinetry and will sit perfectly with any choices of colours and kitchen styles,” the design team says.
“With this panelling, the splashback becomes one of the standout features of the kitchen so you can pare back on other features to allow it to shine.”
The real deal
Another splashback material hot on trend is solid stone. With dozens of choices on offer, this is obviously an extravagant option for your kitchen.
“Many clients have the benchtop match the splash back, creating this dazzling symmetry which is polished and refined."
Going glass
Glass selections as a splashback eliminate grout which is a huge bonus for the cleaning aspect. With glass, you can be as bold or subtle as you wish, like tiles using this to show your personality or use the colouring to be the backdrop to other showstoppers in the kitchen.
“At Henley design, our current favourite glass splashbacks are Grey Pebble and Grey Reflection. Both are beautiful and subtle grey beige colours. These two lend themselves beautifully to the grey family as well as fit effortlessly into the warmer colour palette. With glass splashbacks we love to find colours that complement the scheme, enabling us to focus and draw the eye to our hero pieces such as the benchtops and Laminex cabinetry.”
The wonder of a window splashback
“You can also opt for a window splashback on a number of Henley designs. This simple, yet stunning choice in splashback will allow the natural light to seep through the house, and bring the outdoors in."
“Being able to look at to your outdoor area, with lots of greenery while you cook is such a simple delight that you won’t take for granted.”
