Many of us view our kitchens as far more than a utilitarian space where we cook our meals.Most of us have fond memories of eating cookies in our Granny’s kitchen or a wonderful dinner party in a friends kitchen that ended up being the night you got engaged.
While cooking and function surely is the primary focus of the room it is certainly not all it is used for.These days most houses no longer have dining rooms and usually the room easiest to entertain in then is the kitchen.Knowing this many people would want to improve the appearance of this room and even do something that could become a focal point in the room.One way of creating a focal point would be to install a beautiful mosaic stove splashback.A splashback is installed to protect the wall behind the stove top from cooking debris and grime created by cooking.
But this doesn’t need to be a boring beige creation,there are artists in South Africa who specialize in mosaic and creating these unique splashbacks.Whether you want abstract swirling autumn colours or something more specific like different images of food these artists should be able to accomodate anything you want.
One such artist is Jane du Rand ,you can check out some wonderful images on her website www.durandmosaic.co.za.They should bring praise from even your harshest design critic.
Otherwise if you are that way inclined and have some experience why not try it yourself.There is wealth of information on the Internet regarding what you might need and instructions on how to complete such a project.Just make sure you have a realistic idea of what a project like that will entail.
