14 Bathroom Backsplashes Steal the Show
Bright colours, intriguing textures and attractive designs on splashbacks can change the mood in the bathroom
Every morning when brushing your teeth, or while looking at yourself in the mirror (which is rather frequent, isn’t it?), your eyes invariably rest on the bathroom splashback. That is reason enough to make this surface visually appealing. When you add a pop of colour, texture or pattern on the splashback, it can beautifully frame the basin area, giving the bathroom oodles of style and character.
Take a look at these 14 splashbacks finished in different design styles and materials that give the bathrooms a stand-out quality.

2. In this muted bathroom by Dipen Gada and Associates, what makes the splashback stand out is the tactile abstract patterns. The colour of the motifs complements the off-white basin and the recessed print on the mirror’s frame.
3. Essentia Environments uses a wood-panelled splashback behind a cylindrical white basin, while a large mirror is hung on an off-white metal-clad wall. The splashback complements the flooring and gives the basin area a character and framing of its own.
Two wooden stools of different heights also contribute to the look of the basin area and are used as storage units.

4. A brightly-coloured wall headlines the splashback in this traditional-style bathroom by H.A. Kanitkar & Co. The stark colour immediately pops in this light-toned bathroom and makes the basin area stand out. The printed tiles on the top row of the splashback complement the intricate pattern on the edge of the vanity table and the mirror frame.

5. The rugged grey splashback introduces texture to this dark-toned bathroom by Rakeshh Jeshwaani Interior Architects. The horizontal stone blocks of the splashback match the horizontal streaks on the marble basin and countertop, creating a certain symmetry through two different surfaces.

6. Cement works as a fitting choice of material for the splashback in this earthy, minimal bathroom by Moriq Interiors. The surface’s bevelled top gives a layered look to the wall.
It also provides a soothing, soft backdrop to make the other unusual elements stand out in this interior – the grey rustic basin, the long metallic tap, the back-lit strip of mirror above the basin and the wooden countertop.

7. Instead of one large mirror, the wall behind this basin is covered with a grid of nine small back-lit mirrors creating a stylish splashback. The rough finish of the wall works as a contrasting background and the lights behind the mirrors lend more glow to the space.

8. This splashback looks like a frame hung on the wall as the little tiles in soft hues frame the mirror. The border of the splashback continues from that of the marble wainscoting. The candle-like lamps complete the vintage look of the space.
9. A corrugated metal sheet, mostly used for roofing, makes for an unconventional splashback in this industrial-style bathroom. The wooden frame of the mirror adds warmth to the steel surface and the flowers give a touch of softness to the area.
10. The well-cut marble splashback, along with the gold faucet and the tiny mirror with intricate frame, brings an element of opulence to this soft-toned bathroom with delicate wall patterns.
11. A wooden structure does double duty as a partition wall and a splashback in this open floor plan. The structure’s dark-brown colour offsets the stark white of the standing basin and the blue of the rugs.
12. This rectangular panel of tiny pebbles gives a pattern relief in this bathroom replete with plain surfaces. This splashback continues on to the floor, and separates the vanity area from the rest of the space, drawing attention instantly.
13. A bright-pink splashback livens up this small white bathroom. Its recessed surfaces of different depths impart layered dimensions to the wall.
14. A small rectangular block of marble functions as the splashback and partition in this bathroom space by Aamir and Hameeda Associates. It partly divides two areas while still maintaining the openness of the layout.
