There is nothing more exciting that creating contrast in one's kitchen, let alone have it be something as modern and sophisticated as this! 

And excited we were when we saw this finished kitchen featuring our #609 Gilt Aluminium! Mollie Kohn Interiors brought wow to the table when designing this kitchen for our client Tonia Krebbs. We love seeing where our finishes end up and how they have been designed to elevate spaces like this.

"The house is a modern U shaped design clad in black iron and recycled brick so we wanted a kitchen which was dramatic but also helped to soften all the hard, industrial surfaces and draw your eye to the 4.5m ceiling height.  I love the warmth of the metal splashback and the fact it’s super easy to keep clean!  The kitchen is the centre of our home and has a real ‘wow’ factor!  I can’t imagine it with any other splashback as I think this is the perfect fit for our bespoke home." - Tonia Krebbs.

The origin of the humble splashback was as a protective surface in kitchens installed behind stoves, grills, hotplates, and sinks designed to protect walls from grease, splatters and water.

The splashback (or backsplash as it is sometimes called) was fairly basic and task-oriented. The material used was serviceable and ‘did the job’ but it was usually far from stylish and generally not integral to the kitchen design. Thankfully our design aesthetic has come a long way. Kitchens are now the hub of the home (It’s almost the only space where families and friends can commune without smartphones ruling) and a feature of many modern cafes and clubs.

Our Real Metal Laminates are the perfect option for creating such a statement in your kitchen with so many finish colours and textures to choose from!
