Wood is a timeless material that is widely used in architecture and decor – all types of it and plywood too! Wood never goes out of style and suits all kinds of styles and color schemes – what could be more perfect? Wooden stairs, furniture, statement walls and accessories are used everywhere and everyone is already used to them, but the designers have added another very fresh and unique idea – wood for backsplashes. Yes, I know what you’re going to say: wood and plywood aren’t the best ideas for bathrooms and kitchens due to moisture, splatters, and grease of various kinds. But modern finishes and types of plywood are such that you can’t worry about that.
Wooden kitchen backsplashes are a chic and very creative idea to rock. It’s a fantastic way to stand out from the backsplash and create an awesome look. Wood and plywood of all kinds are welcome for decorating the kitchen. If you’re still interested in the practical side, add a glass or acrylic strainer along the entire length or in the cooking zone. Let me share some ideas that will inspire you.
Sleek wooden backsplashes
Sleek wood or plywood backsplashes will instantly give your kitchen a fresher and more contemporary look, adding warmth with warmth. There are many ideas for textures, shades and looks and such backsplashes are great for modern and minimalist spaces. But you can also opt for rustic and glamorous kitchens and add an elegant wooden backsplash for contrast. Add extra lights to the cabinets and choose a matching countertop or do it differently for a more contrasting look. If functionality is important to you, cover all or part of the backsplash with a sheet of glass.
Structural wooden backsplashes
If you want to add texture and a unique touch to the room, choose a textured wood backsplash. It can be a backsplash of reclaimed or aged wood, just a couple of vertical or horizontal planks of wood, or just some wood covered with a pattern, for example chevron. You can choose such a look not only for rustic, chalet, vintage and shabby chic kitchens, but also for many others. Rock a modern kitchen with a backsplash like this one for some contrast! Still much emphasis on splashes? Use wood tiles instead of real wood and voila!
