Splash of Personality: Bathroom Splashback Ideas

A splashback doesn’t have to be just practical. It can be made into an extremely stylish, eye- catching feature of your bathroom. This blog looks at which materials can be used to create beautiful splashbacks to hopefully provide some inspiration for your next project.

What is a Bathroom Splashback?

Firstly, what is a splashback? A splashback is located behind and around your sink, bath, toilet, and any other bathroom furniture which uses water, such as a bidet. The role of a splashback is to keep water away from your walls and to provide an easy to clean surface.

What to Use for a Splashback?

There are a few different materials you could use in your bathroom as splashback.

Tiles

Firstly, traditional tiles. These have been the splashback material of choice for homeowners for many years. Hardwearing and relatively simple to keep clean, tiles come in a variety of designs and styles, making it easy to find the perfect tile for your bathroom. However, you should bear in mind that tiles need to be correctly fitted to work effectively. They also require grout which, if not kept clean, can attract mould and mildew which leaves unsightly black marks and can become unhygienic.

Glass

Glass is a comparatively modern material to be used in the bathroom – aside from as a mirror! Available in myriad colours and patterns, glass offers a more contemporary look and feel whilst also being fairly simple to clean. But glass can mark and streak easily, so it is important to use the correct cleaning solutions and dry well once washed.

Bathroom Wall Panels

Finally, bathroom wall panels. 100% waterproof, easy to install, and requiring no grout during fitting, bathroom wall panels offer the most hygienic, low maintenance splashback option. Available in a range of styles, colours, and textures, wall panels perfectly emulate real materials. From contemporary concrete and opulent marble to natural timber and stunning stone, bathroom wall panels enable you to create beautiful splashbacks in a cost- effective way.
