Monochromatic Kitchen with Black Cabinets and Half-Waterfall Island

Sumptuous finishes, clean lines, and subtle beauty. The combination of black and gray executes elegance in this contemporary kitchen. The mirror backsplash reflects the back of the room and emphasizes the open-concept layout. So, it is a smart addition to achieve visual connectivity between the different corners of the home. The half-waterfall island’s extraordinary anatomy oozes seamlessly, bridging the glass windows. The floor is finished with gray concrete to create an impression of outdoor living. It makes more sense due to the kitchen’s connection with the outdoors thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Based on this kitchen, we can argue that one way of achieving a trendy look is to recognize the spatial context of your home and place materials and forms accordingly.

The combination of wood and blue is vital in most transitional kitchens, particularly applied in remodeling projects. This combination achieves not only a timeless look but also something trendy.

In the heart of the open-concept kitchen, the oversized blue island topped with a butcher block makes a statement as a connecting piece. It is also complemented by dark wood flooring that reinforces a dramatic effect to impose the multi-identity of the kitchen.

How to install a kitchen backsplash?

Installing a kitchen backsplash can be tricky. But if you have the right materials and instructions, then everything should go smoothly. First, you should measure the backsplash area and make a template to design the pattern before applying anything on the wall surface. While designing the tiles, it is recommended to start from the center. After finishing the design, see how much you need to cut the tiles to have straight edges. After wearing your eye protection, start cutting the tiles and have them ready before installation.

Installation

Before laying the tiles, make sure the wall surface is clean and dry. Then, apply the mortar and start laying the pre-cut tiles. Use spacers to leave even space between them. After you are done with the installation, wait 24-48 hours and come back to apply the grout. For that, you need a trowel, a bucket of water, and a few sponges.  Spread the grout between the tiles and clean the tiles with the water-soaked sponges before it dries up.
