Why Splashback Tiles Are Great

While glass and acrylic splashbacks dominated the kitchen for many years, splashback tiles are now the latest trend in Perth. Not surprisingly, they are among the most sought-after products by customers at Ross’s. This is because splashback tiles help add texture and facilitate movement, and they are rapidly replacing the use of glass in kitchens. These tiles are available in geometric patterns, glazed tiles and handmade irregular-cut shapes, and they have an organic influence in the kitchen.

How to Choose Splashback Tiles

I suggest that you choose your splashback tiles based on the design of your kitchen benchtop. Given that splashback tiles in Perth are available in a variety of colours and materials, it should be easy to find tiles to depict the look you want to achieve.

Stainless steel, mosaic, glass and pressed metal are the most popular types of splashback tiles to choose from. Pressed metal offers a traditional look, while glass offers a more contemporary look.

When selecting the colour of tiles, choose colours that are either similar to your kitchen benchtop for a uniform appearance, or go for complementary or contrasting colours if you’d like to be a little bold. If you’re really adventurous, you can also try featured splashback tiles, like the range listed below, which will become the highlight of your kitchen.
