A cohesive kitchen is one of life’s little luxuries. And while a glass backsplash makes a functional, appealing addition to any kitchen, you want it to complement your cabinets and countertops. Here at CBD Glass, the preferred glass accent company in Toronto, we don’t believe that’s a big ask at all.
Stay tuned for more information on how to match your kitchen elements for a stylish, harmonious space you’ll adore spending time in.
Determine Your Desired Style
Kitchens come in so many styles these days. Are you a fan of minimalism, traditional elements, farmhouse style, contemporary looks, or maybe even an eclectic mix of several styles at once? Once you answer that question, you can narrow down your backsplash options significantly.
For instance, a frosted glass kitchen backsplash complements a traditional-looking kitchen, as does a backsplash with lots of rich texture. A solid-colored or clear glossy backsplash would look great in a contemporary kitchen.
Coordinate Your Colors
Achieving kitchen harmony between all the elements requires you to know your colors and which hues complement them. If you like a matchy-matchy look throughout, then you need the exact color name used for your cabinets, countertops, and other kitchen features. That way, you can be sure you’ll get an ideal match.
If you prefer neutrals, you can explore a broader color palette, reducing the stress of creating a precise match. A vibrant backsplash color will look great with neutral hues, or you can go with a neutrally-colored backsplash with texture for appeal.
Using contrasting colors is always a great idea. White kitchen features pair beautifully with colors such as green or deep blue.
Consider the Finish
The finish of your glass backsplash makes a big difference in which is the right option for your kitchen. For example, glossy or clear glass backsplashes will make a quartz or polished stone countertop look like a million bucks. This material is also super complementary if you have a custom glass backsplash from CBD.
Frosted glass goes with matte features and finishes, lending your kitchen a subtle kind of elegance. And textured glass finishes will look excellent with rustic, traditional, and eclectic kitchen styles.
Don’t Discount Lighting
The lighting in your kitchen plays a major role in deciding which is the right backsplash for your home. Some glass finishes will reflect light, while others diffuse it. For instance, a matte finish and some textured finishes diffuse sunlight and artificial lighting, whereas a clear backsplash will reflect the light for a larger-looking kitchen.
You can also take advantage of CBD’s LED lighting, which can go under the cabinets or elsewhere in your kitchen. This colorful, vivid, eco-friendly lighting option can make a simple clear backsplash look much more charming while augmenting a textured backsplash.
