The all-white kitchen is a thing of the past as homeowners and designers seem to break up the one-dimensional look and feel of a flat, all-white kitchen with blocks of color. Your backsplash is the perfect place to introduce color, an interesting finish, material, or texture to help break up the monolith of the all-white look, and the right choice can even goes so far as to create an illusion of more space. What's more, the minimal footprint of the backsplash means it's one of the more affordable kitchen edits you can make, easily swapping it out for a new look and feel instead of feeling the need to renovate the entire kitchen.
'All-white kitchens need some visual interest to contrast with their neutral color, so make sure you introduce some character,' says Luki Anderson of Studio Officina Architecture. 'The good news is white looks great with everything, so choose something that makes you feel happy when you walk in each morning to make your coffee! It's your kitchen, so go with what feels right for you.' To help you get inspired, we've spoken to the designers to find out their favorite backsplash materials, colors, and patterns that will help your modern kitchen really pop.
