While last year was the era of earth-toned cabinetry and unusually shaped islands, 2024 is all about backsplashes.
The aptly named “slab backsplash” (which includes a single, continuous piece of material that covers the space behind the countertop) is leading the revolution, but in some cases, it’s no surprise that one of our favorite celebrity kitchens The department was experimenting with that aesthetic long before it became popular. Certified trend. Zendaya, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Teigen, we’re waiting for you.
The latter space was designed by Jake Arnold and is one of the most impressive examples we’ve seen, stretching not just the space above the countertop, but the entire back wall. And if the scale of this kitchen’s backsplash isn’t impressive enough, the veined marble beauty adds even more luxury and drama to the space.
Teigen’s large marble piece is a twist on the traditional splashback, but you can still incorporate drama into your kitchen without having to invest in such luxury. Decorating with marble has always been one of the most powerful ways to enhance a space, but as Decorilla’s lead designer Devin Shaffer explains, following this with less expensive materials is also possible.
Additionally, changing your backsplash always requires some investment, but the practicality and style of this feature make it worth it in the end.
“Slab backsplashes are a very practical way to achieve form and function. Although their original role was to protect walls from splashes and steam during cooking, they inevitably add decoration and style to your kitchen. It turned out to be a great way to go. I personally love them and think they are decorative and functional at the same time, so it’s not like buying extra furniture or decorations anyway. , there’s got to be something else on the wall, so you might as well make it yours,” Schaefer comments.
Although Teigen’s space is by no means compact, Schaefer explains that this kitchen trend is especially beneficial for small spaces.
“Clients find it difficult to incorporate or combine different materials due to size constraints, and that’s when I often suggest a slab backsplash,” he says. “You can play with different materials, colors, styles and shapes. And that’s the fun of them, you can get creative with them and see them as new touches added to your kitchen. I can.”
However, no matter what size your kitchen is or what materials you choose, you can rest assured that this feature is incredibly easy to maintain. “Easy and simple to clean. Low maintenance is what we all want today. We have busy schedules and live fast-paced lives, but it’s important to invest your time wisely. There’s nothing better than that,” says Schaefer.
