The Rise of Animal Print Glass Splashbacks in Interior Design

Whilst trends in homeware continue to come and go, those belonging to the kitchen tend to have far more longevity due to the longer shelf life of kitchen interiors. Glass splashbacks act as a protector for your kitchen wall, safeguarding it from the likes of grease and high temperatures, but the functionality of a splashback isn’t all they’re commended for. Splashbacks can blend seamlessly into the decor of your kitchen, or stand as a bold feature to bring character to the space.

The design of glass splashbacks were once limited to a strict colour palette, however the advancement in design technology means you have free reign over your style of splashback. Animal print is seeing growing popularity as a design choice, adding personality and a new depth to the space that occupies a vacant gap in your kitchen. This blog explores the animal print trend that’s on the rise across splashbacks, and how you can make it work in your home.

Inspired by nature, animal print splashbacks are a great way for homeowners to create an emotional connection in their home, adding warmth and character to the space with a completely new element of design.

How to Style Animal Print Splashbacks in Your Kitchen

Considering an animal print splashback may feel like a step outside of your comfort zone, but we’re here to guide you in how to fit the functioning artwork seamlessly into your kitchen. Think about the tones already present in your kitchen, you want to complement the existing aesthetic of the room instead of introducing a concept that could clash. If you’re looking to make a statement with your splashback to add a new dimension to your interior, go for an abundance of vibrant colours in your animal print. Once installed, pick out one of these colours and match some kitchen appliances or soft furnishings to this same tone to carry the character through the room. 

Perhaps you’d like your animal print splashback to lift the space whilst in keeping with the existing colour theme. Make sure to pick out tones in the animal print that match the dominant colours in your kitchen, this will allow the backsplash to act as the final piece of the jigsaw and add an element of completion to the space. 

Why Choose a Printed Glass Splashback Over Traditional Tiles?

While tiles have long since been a traditional placement in kitchens, splashbacks open up an entirely new world of options when it comes to design and creating the perfect aesthetic for your space. From quirky colours to unique patterns, glass splashbacks can be completely customisable, replacing your tiles for an animal print splashback allows you to take full ownership of the space and make it uniquely you. 

Additionally, glass splashbacks have key benefits that don’t just rely on design. Being one sleek surface, glass splashbacks are far more hygienic through ease of cleaning compared to tiles, where bacteria can thrive within the grout no matter how hard you scrub them clean. The makeup of glass splashbacks makes them immune to wear and tear, the scratch resistant surface means they’ll be looking as shiny and new as the first day it was installed to years down the line. Not to mention the installation you’ve likely carried out alone, compared to the intricacy of tiles that often require a professional, glass splashback installation is a relatively straightforward DIY process.
