Sylmester Kitchen

In this compact kitchen, Yuki Border Speckled White forms a continuous splashback beneath dark cabinetry, introducing a fine vertical rhythm and a softly reflective ceramic surface.

Project Information

Project: Sylmester Kitchen
Tile collection: Yuki Border
Colour: Speckled White
Application: Kitchen splashback

Texture Within a Restrained Palette

The pale tile sits between a white worktop and dark upper cabinets. Its narrow concave profile catches light along the length of the splashback, keeping the small material palette visually active.

Close views around the tap and planting show the variation held within the white glaze. Fine changes in tone and reflection prevent the repeated surface from feeling flat.
