Latest interior design trend taking over social media
Discover the trend transforming modern kitchens. Learn how to achieve the luxe look with expert tips from Urban Myth Kitchens
From Instagram reels to interior design blogs, one feature is dominating the modern kitchen conversation right now: the statement splashback. No longer just a practical surface, today’s splashbacks are bold, expressive, and central to the design story of your kitchen.
At Urban Myth Kitchens, we’ve seen this design detail evolve from simple tiling into a true centrepiece. Whether it’s bookmatched stone, richly veined quartz, dramatic coloured glass, or custom metal finishes, the splashback is now a canvas for creativity.
Why its trending
The statement splashback captures everything people love about contemporary interiors — personality, contrast, and materials with impact. It’s a simple way to elevate a space without overcomplicating the overall design. When done well, it adds a high-end feel and visual drama that feels editorial yet entirely livable.
How to get the luxe look in your home
A statement splashback works best when it complements the rest of the kitchen, not competes with it. Here’s how we help clients achieve the look:
Start with the right materials: Natural stone, ceramic slabs, mirrored finishes, and even reeded glass can all create standout effects. We’ll guide you through the options that suit your space and lifestyle.
Consider scale and contrast: A full-height splashback behind the hob or across an entire wall instantly draws the eye. Paired with understated cabinetry, it creates balance and sophistication.
Think about lighting: We often integrate under-cabinet or feature lighting to highlight texture and depth,especially effective with marble or metallic surfaces.
Make it personal: This trend is about expressing your style. Whether you prefer timeless luxury or a bold contemporary edge, we’ll help tailor the design to reflect your taste.
