backsplash advice for a a multi functional built in cabinet

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

A multi functional built in cabinet / built in bar will be installed in the hallway area located between the living room/dining room and the family room/kitchen area.(area is where picture is located)
Would appreciate advice on what looks best for a backsplash between the upper and lower cabinets measuring 38” high and 55” wide.
Upper cabinets will be shaker white painted wood with clear glass doors while the lower cabinets will be wood white painted doors.

You have a pretty neutral palette, you could do almost anything. Any specific colors you have throughout your home?

What about a mirror backsplash? There is a wide range of mirror available from smoked, plain, tinted, beveled tiles etc. according to our glazier. Then you could put glass shelves in the cabinets with some interior lighting. Not really a new idea of course—my husband and I were just in New York City and enjoyed drinks at the famous Knickerbocher bar and they had that arrangement. LOL, So we just ‘borrowed’ the idea for renewing our bar And we like it a lot. Good luck!

You do not need a backsplash but it looks to me like that will be a tight squeeze for a bar cabinet
