Resin Panels
Designer: Jennifer Ho, CKD, CBD
This year saw a number of designs featuring backsplashes made of items such as fabric, mesh, or bamboo encased in a plastic panel. Jennifer Ho, CKD, CBD used birch twigs for a look that complements the burgundy and copper accents within the Blue Louise quartzite countertops. The color balances against the clean white walls and cabinets that Ho designed. The long stainless steel handles on the cabinet doors and drawers also complement the long, thin look of the birch twigs. This design element also picks up the sleek lines of this modern kitchen, which features an entire wall of cabinetry for storage.
