1. Marble, Marble on the Wall
Is there anything nicer than a slab of gorgeous Carrara marble for your kitchen splashback? Turns out there is actually - how about a wall of marble bricks, for starters? We’re head over heels for the modern-rustic style perfected by Plain English kitchens above. White marble just oozes class but sometimes, it can be pared back to the point of no return. Not in this case - we love the contrast with the dark blue cabinets and how the oversized height of the splashback plays with scale and perception. It’s a look that whispers timeless elegance but stands out enough to make a luxurious impact.![Marble Splashback](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0518/0601/1582/files/marble-splash.jpg)
2. Pattern Play
Viewed as a large blank canvas, kitchen walls are ripe with creative opportunities. So why opt for plain metro tiles when you can go wild with decorative tiles? They’re the flavour of the month, and we’ve got a huge array of patterns and colours to suit your show-stopping space. However, you don’t necessarily need to opt for the zaniest design to add interest and impact. Take a leaf out of Rock My Style’s fashion-forward vibe add some wow to a traditional kitchen with our Heritage Star tiles. Their monochrome design works really well if you already have a neutral kitchen and you want to add some interest without bringing in colour.![Patterned Tile - Splashback](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0518/0601/1582/files/before-after.jpg)

3. Off the Wall
When it comes to classic appeal, you really can’t beat the organic warmth of a wooden floor. But what if we suggested cladding your walls in wood as well? Sure, it’s unconventional, but it’s also unexpected and will add a touch of drama to any kitchen, without necessarily straying from neutral.![Wood Tiles Splashback](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0518/0601/1582/files/dinesen.jpg)
4. All Hail the Hexagons!
As all dedicated designistas know, hexagon tiles are the decorating must-have for 2017. And when it comes to swoon-worthy splashbacks, these groovy geometrics tick all the right boxes. According to Kelly Wearstyler, an LA-based designer to Hollywood stars, “geometrics create a beautiful tension and add dimensional conversation into a space.” So, in other words, whether you opt for the classic elegance of Marmi Hex or the playful 3D pattern of Cube Mix Hex, you’re pretty much guaranteed to create a tactile wall that demands instant attention.![Hexagon Tiles Splashback](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0518/0601/1582/files/cube-mix.jpg)
5. Cool Chevrons
