Planning a custom kitchen design allows you to express your creativity and to fill the room with your chosen colours and textures. Right in the centre of any kitchen sits the splashback, thus forming a crucial element. One option that allows for countless customisation options is a glass splashback, the advantages of which follow below.

Colour Variety

A glass splashback offers endless colour choices as you select the paint hue with which to cover the back. In an all-white kitchen, you could install a navy or a mint green splashback. Otherwise, you could continue a neutral beige wall colour across the glass to minimise the transition between the two surfaces. To make a statement, install a vivid red, yellow or orange splashback. 

Because glass splashbacks offer so many colour options, you can install other kitchen components first, and then match the glass to those elements. For instance, choose benchtops and cabinetry first as they don't offer so many choices. In this way, A glass splashback helps you to harmonise the various components during a remodel.

Create a Bright Ambience

If you want to create a sense of spaciousness in your kitchen and make it appear larger regardless of its actual dimensions, a glass splashback will help. Polished surfaces bounce light around a room for a brighter ambience. Without dark corners and patches that hide areas, a kitchen will feel roomier with all nooks open to view. As a bonus, you'll save on lighting costs.

Reduce Visual Clutter

Kitchens consist of many different materials and surfaces — cabinetry, flooring, counters and the splashbacks, to name only a few. All the transitions between these areas add visual detail, and sometimes in a small room, the design can feel cluttered. 

Glass splashbacks, though, consist of several large panels that create a smooth, seamless surface, helping you to reduce visual jumble. Conversely, other options like tiles add to all the lines and divisions in kitchen decor. 

Easy to Clean

Large glass panels that connect seamlessly create an easily cleaned surface. You can forget about scrubbing the grout between tiles. Nor will you need to worry about porous stone tiles that can etch and stain. Use a recommended glass cleaner for a shimmering splashback that will make your kitchen sparkle. In contrast, some other materials, such as tiles, don't give such a sense of freshness, even after cleaning. 

Thus, a glass splashback will help you to coordinate your kitchen design and to bring everything together as you can pick from endless back-paint colours. By reflecting light, the smooth glass panels will brighten up the kitchen and create a sense of spaciousness. Plus, these splashbacks form seamless areas that help you to clean the room quickly.
