If 2023 was the year of earthy-hued cabinets and experimentative islands, 2024 is the backsplash's time to shine – and no feature fuels this movement quite as much as the 'slab backsplash' – a luxurious, celebrity-approved alternative.
This aptly-named feature involves using a single, continuous piece of material (usually stone or engineered quartz) to cover the entire wall space behind our countertops. We've noticed slab backsplashes in kitchens belonging to the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Stephen and Ayesha Curry – but now Zendaya's Brooklyn apartment has completed the trio, and it's one of our favorite examples to date.
