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
Tusen takk for det, Linn! 🙂
Kjøkkenet vårt er i fra JKE Design, og er i sort eik så det er trestruktur i det ja…
Lykke til med nytt kjøkken. Håper du blir fornøyd !
Nina
This is such a great idea!! Really love the kitchen!! 🙂 xx

I love plywood! Nice idea Nina 🙂
Wow, så fint! Nydelig!
Hvor dyp er hyllen på toppen? Er den kun festet med skruer i platen som er inntil veggen eller hvordan har du løst det?
Wow! Så snyggt! Och nu har jag hittat till din fantastiska blogg tack vare seventeendoors.

So smart! I am wanting to do a backsplash, but have no idea! But how do you do it with protecting it from water? Have you some protection in the wet-sone?
Thank you! I treated it with two coats of Osmo Top Oil to make it water-repellent 🙂
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! 🙂
Gorgeous idea and I love that it’s using natural materials. How has it held up over time?

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?
