Solid Surface Backsplash: Your Practical and Stylish Kitchen Choice

08 April 2022

Solid surface has been around for more than 40 years and has earned a reputation as being a durable and versatile countertop option, but did you know it also works well as a backsplash material.

The kitchen backsplash can be a design opportunity to blend in other kitchen features or simply add a splash of colour and pattern to experiment and add your style.
Check out a few of these solid surface backsplash ideas, and then create your style with the help of your kitchen designer.

Match Your Countertop

If you choose, a solid surface countertop, think of adding a matching backsplash or one that blends in to create a full focal point.

Add a Pattern

If you want to create a focal point for your backsplash or for one wall, use a patterned solid surface backsplash. There are a variety of patterns to use, including diamond, rectangular square, and more. These solid surface backsplashes mimic tile, but they are made of solid surface materials.

Create a Reflective Backsplash

You can create a reflective backsplash using solid surface materials. This idea could work well when you have an all-white kitchen. A gleaming opalescent backsplash creates a nice change to the modern all-white kitchen.

Use Grey
Grey marble is trendy, and it looks very expensive. You can use a solid surface that looks like a light grey marble slab. Contrast the grey with black solid surface countertops or floor tiling.

Use a Slab Backsplash

A solid slab backsplash can be very elegant. This slab material can be a solid surface, so it is not as heavy as real stone and is less expensive. This solid slab is easy to clean and minimalistic, ideal for modern minimalistic design. You can use solid surface material that looks like granite, quartz or marble.

Try Black

White can make a wonderful backsplash but so can black. Use a slab backsplash in black for a sophisticated touch to your kitchen. Black countertops and a black backsplash can complement neutrality and offer luxury in any kitchen.

Add Marble

The marble looks elegant and even cozy when combined with other natural elements like wood floors. The good news is that you don’t need to use real marble and can instead use a solid surface that imitates marble as your backsplash. The designs are varied and can come in tile, solid slabs, or other designs.

Use Large Porcelain-Like Slabs
Contrast steel appliances and light wood cabinets with large tile porcelain-like slabs. These solid surface backsplashes have a visual celebration between the neutral cabinets and the modern steel.

Try Quartz Slabs

If your kitchen is modern, you might want to choose a solid surface material that looks like Quarts. The dark grey of the quartz contrasts beautifully with the clean straight lines and modern features of the kitchen. White cabinets will offer a bright look with a white quartz backsplash. Grey countertops will complement the veining of dark quartz backsplash.
