DIY Backsplash

Monday March 9th, 2015

DIY backsplash_black

The finishing touches are coming together in the new kitchen, and one of my latest project is this backsplash in black plywood. I needed something dark behind the sink to make the brass kitchen faucet pop out, and I was thinking about black tiles until I came up with this idea instead. That way I could easily make a little shelf as well. I think plywood is a lovely material, and I love that the wooden pattern shows and creates structure even though I have stained it black.

 

WHAT I DID:

– I bought plywood in the exact size that I needed ( the shelf was cut in the store as well )
– I stained it with three coats of the Lady Pure Nature 9044 Kullsort
– Then I treated it with two coats of Osmo Top Oil to make it water-repellent.

– First I attached the large plywood board with screws.
– Then I glued the little shelf to the DIY backplash, before I also used screws from the top and down.
– At last I painted all the screws black to make them blend in..

 

An easy and afforable backsplash done in a few!

    Det ble helt utrolig lekkert! Kan jeg spørre hva slags kjøkken du har? Er det ‘vanlig’ sort matt finish eller er det struktur i det? Skal selv ha svart kjøkken fra Drømmekjøkken, og ditt er til stor inspirasjon

    Hvor dyp er hyllen på toppen? Er den kun festet med skruer i platen som er inntil veggen eller hvordan har du løst det?

    This is beautiful Nina, loving the natural sleek look of your kitchen. You have given us ideas for our kitchen here in NZ. Can I ask what material/ colour is your kitchen bench? Looking for cost effective solutions without compromising on design elements. Looks almost more of a charcoal than full black, love it! 🙂

    Hello Nina,

    I love the splash back so much that I’m going to recreate it. However in my kitchen the splash back will be behind the electrical cooker – is that something you would recommend?or do I need to apply a different fire free treatment? I’m thinking the shape of the wood might get affected by heat? Help please :), thank you!

      I don´t think I would use this behind the electrical cooker since it´s wood. What about some black herringbone tiles?
