A mirror splashback in the kitchen not only protects the wall and looks stylish – they add a sense of space to your kitchen renovation. In fact, interior designers often use mirrors, especially in small rooms, because they trick the eye into thinking there’s more room than there really is.
7 Mirror Splashback Kitchen Design Ideas
We, at Elite kitchens, introduce you to 7 awesome mirror splashback kitchen designs that you can think of replicating in your kitchen.
- Antique Splashback
Mirror can be treated to look ‘old world’ and antique. This is a perfect choice of splashback if you are someone who has a preference and an eye for antique items. It blends well with both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs. - Traditional Splashback
A standard mirror is installed all along from the bottom of cabinets to the countertops. This splashback is quite simple and can be used with any kind of designs. - Framed Splashback
Framed splashbacks blend really well in traditional style kitchens. You can symmetrically put a frame around the mirror to give it a framed look. Start by spacing the frame symmetrically and then give it the same colour as your cabinets. You can then insert a mirror in the farme. - Mirrored Tile Splashback
In this type of splashback, the tile lines create a tiled effect on the mirror by creating a textured focal point. You can also take the mirror up till the ceiling. This helps in creating more visual space for the kitchen. - Mirrored Mosaic Tile Splashback
This is a type of splashback where small pieces of mosaic mirror tiles are used together to create the splashback. This type of splashback is ideal for giving your kitchen a glamorous look. - Smoked Mirror Splashback
If you want to add a dramatic touch to your kitchen, use a smoked mirror on the splashback. It has a black or dark bronze tinge to it. Using this type can be a good spin off from other common types of splashbacks. - Partial Splashback
This type of splashback is perfect for those who want to try a mirror splashback but do not want to get it done all over. You can start out small by adding a mirror just behind the range. It will leave some room for stains but it is easy to get this cleaned.
The safest mirror splashback for your kitchen
The mirror used in splashbacks isn’t of a standard kind. It’s a special, toughened mirror, which, as the description suggests, is resistant to cracking and shattering. Given that splashbacks are usually placed above stove tops, the glass can handle heat without any problems.
We offer a variety of premium quality mirror splashback options. If optimising the impression of extra space is important to you, then a clear mirror is probably best. However, other options are available, such as smoky, which is valued for its sleek, sophisticated appearance. Both of these styles suit a sleek, contemporary kitchen design to a fault.
Another benefit of a mirror splashback is that they’re very easy to clean, particularly compared with other materials often used in splashbacks, such as tiles or stainless steel. All you need is a soft cloth, such as a microfibre cloth, and some glass cleaner. What’s more, glass doesn’t tend to lose its new look, even after spending years and years in the kitchen.
