2025 is officially the year of the kitchen splashback. So time to bid farewell to plain white tiles and embrace luxury, premium materials for a bespoke kitchen splashback that wows. Think striking book matched marble, antiqued mirror walls and burnished metal panels. Yes, today’s kitchen splashbacks are far more than just a practical way to protect walls – they are also a fabulous design tool to elevate your luxury kitchen to the next level. At Roundhouse we are experts at designing bespoke kitchen splashbacks to enhance your kitchen space. It’s part of our mission to deliver excellence in everything we do – from the top notch craftsmanship of our products to our first-rate customer service. And we never sit still with our innovations. So you can be rest assured that your customised kitchen splashback marries beautiful style with durability, easy maintenance and hassle-free installation.

Let Roundhouse show you why cutting-edge kitchen splashbacks are here to stay…

Make it a marble splashback

Is there anything more luxe than a marble splashback? We think not. Whether you prefer whispery gold and green streaks or a book matched black and white stone, a bespoke marble splashback is chic yet utterly timeless. In our Kensington project, monochrome kitchen design gets a smart upgrade thanks to the striking Arabescato Corchia marble. The richly veined stone stretches to the ceiling and wraps around the monolithic kitchen island for maximum marble drenching. Remember, marble is a softer stone so it’s easier to shape into customised kitchen splashbacks like this one. It’s also a porous material, so you might need to seal marble splashbacks to create a protective barrier from water damage and stains. Get in touch with a Roundhouse designer who can help design a marble splashback that will be the star of your scheme today, tomorrow and for years to come.

Look at antiqued mirror splashbacks

There is something incredibly elegant about an antiqued mirror splashback. Perhaps it is the vintage mood that gently worn mirrored panels bring to a bespoke kitchen. Or perhaps it’s because mirrored surfaces are more widely used in bedrooms and living rooms – the more relaxed, non-functional spaces in our home. Either way mirror splashbacks aren’t simply showpieces to admire; they are super tough, hardworking and can gently diffuse light around your luxury kitchen room. A tinted bronze mirror splashback is the perfect way to reflect the blush pink cabinets and antique brass island in this Roundhouse kitchen. Against a backdrop of pastel colour and burnished metallics, the antiqued mirror splashbacks add a hint of low-key glamour you can’t fail to fall for.

Wow with metallic splashbacks

We’ve never loved our metallics more. And it’s easy to see why a metal kitchen island or a burnished kitchen cabinet can spark a jolt of pure joy into every kitchen design. But have you considered a metallic splashback? While shiny mosaics might seem a tad overdone, a splashback clad in rich metallic is luxe, understated and elegant. In this bespoke kitchen, the antique bronze metallic splashback offers a striking contrast to the dark-stained timber doors. Then there are flashes of bronze echoed in the shadow lines of the recessed handles for a subtle glow up.

Choose a slick glass splashback

Are white tiles the only option for a kitchen splashback in a minimalist kitchen? It’s a question we’re asked frequently at Roundhouse – and the answer is certainly not. Glass splashbacks are a great option, as featured in our Hampstead project. Sleek panels of matt, frosted white glass enhance the slick, clutter-free silhouette and create a tough, easy clean surface. That’s why glass splashbacks are ideal for a low-maintenance, easy to install kitchen splashback in busy family kitchen designs. If you prefer a hint of subtle colour, you could introduce a pastel hue glass splashback. But we adore the slick white-on-white look for a beautiful bespoke kitchen that will never date.

Stun with a stone kitchen splashback

Stone splashbacks don’t stop at marble. And there are a whole host of natural stones at our fingertips for a kitchen splashback with serious style. This Taj Mahal splashback for example is a luxurious milky coloured quartzite with delicate gold and beige veining. It’s the perfect partner for fluted oak cabinets and Japandi-inspired natural finishes – the epitome of low key luxe. But for something a little more statement making how about a San Simone quartzite. The dramatic black and white stone is a simple way to create a striking kitchen splashback in a monochrome kitchen scheme.
