4 Stone Splashback Ideas for Your Kitchen

When it comes to designing or renovating your kitchen, there are a few important elements that you have to consider. Good quality appliances, benchtops and cupboards are all essential criteria of a fantastic kitchen area, although another thing to consider is your splashbacks. Your splashbacks are what’s going to protect your kitchen walls from all the oil, pasta sauce, curry, and all other liquids that could get splashed whilst you’re cooking up a storm on the stove. For that reason, it’s important to invest in good quality splashbacks. Luckily, our stone products at Aurora Stone are ideal for such an application. 

Let’s take a look at some of the best stone splashback ideas for splashbacks: 

Granite Splashbacks

The kitchen is one of the best places to use granite in your home, all thanks to its high strength and longevity. Granite features low porosity, which essentially means that it has minimal cracks and crevices in its surface for bacteria or spilt substances to seep into. As a result, granite proves itself to be a hygienic and stain-resistant material, both of which are excellent qualities to have in a kitchen environment. When installed, granite will do well to withstand against all the water, oil, and other splashed liquids that end up on your walls over the years. 

Marble Splashbacks

Marble is an incredibly beautiful stone that brings value and elegance into whatever kitchen space it’s installed in. And with the extensive variety of colours and design options available, you’ll have no trouble at all finding the perfect variant of marble to install as your kitchen splashbacks. Having any type of marble installed in your home is sure to increase your home’s overall value, as most people tend to associate marble with luxury. Of course, aside from its aesthetic benefits, marble splashbacks are also a great idea thanks to their long-lasting resistance. 

Onyx Splashbacks

Onyx is another great material for use as your kitchen splashback, thanks to its versatility and timeless appeal. Like most of our natural stone materials here at Aurora Stone, onyx is guaranteed to last for many years when installed in your home. Onyx is also available in neutral tones such as white and cream, making it easy to match with a variety of different kitchen designs. Onyx is also a great alternative for those who love marble, but aren’t too sure about making such a significant investment. Marble and onyx have many of the same properties, although you could refer to onyx as marble’s edgy looking cousin; perfect for those who want a more laid-back, natural look in their kitchen!

Engineered Stone Splashbacks

Engineered stone is a man-made material, although it comes with all the benefits you could possibly ever want in a kitchen splashback. Being highly compact and therefore non-porous, it provides the highest level of stain and bacteria-resistance available. The best part is that it’s virtually maintenance free, unlike most other types of natural stone that you might have to seal every once in a while. Due to the fact that this is a man-made material, there are also a lot more design options available for you to choose from. That said, some people prefer the unique, organic appeal of genuine natural stone, as it brings a touch of nature into their own home.
