When it comes to kitchen design, it’s often the finer details that make the biggest impact. While layout and cabinetry form the foundation of a great kitchen, it’s the finishing touches—statement splashbacks, luxury hardware, and layered lighting—that transform a good kitchen into an exceptional one.

At Krystal Kitchens in Basingstoke, we believe great kitchens are built in the details. With expert design, premium materials, and carefully selected features, even the most minimalist kitchen can feel bespoke, refined, and truly personal.

Statement Splashbacks: Where Style Meets Practicality

Splashbacks are no longer just a practical necessity—they’re a design feature in their own right. From textured glass and elegant stone to bold colours and seamless finishes, a statement splashback can instantly elevate your kitchen.

In modern kitchens, full-height splashbacks create a clean, uninterrupted look while protecting walls and enhancing visual impact. For smaller kitchens, reflective or lighter materials can also help bounce light around the room, making the space feel brighter and more open.

Our partnership with Nolte Küchen allows us to offer coordinated splashback solutions that perfectly complement cabinetry, worktops, and appliances for a cohesive, high-end finish.

Luxury Hardware: Small Touches, Big Difference

Handles, taps, and internal fittings may seem like minor choices—but they play a huge role in how a kitchen looks and feels. Luxury hardware adds character, tactility, and longevity to your space.

Popular modern choices include:

• Slimline bar handles in brushed metal or matt black
• Integrated handleless profiles for a seamless look
• Soft-close hinges and premium drawer systems
• Designer taps that combine form and function

These details enhance daily use while subtly reinforcing the quality of your kitchen—something you’ll appreciate every single day.

Lighting Layers: Designing for Atmosphere and Function

Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in kitchen design, yet it’s often overlooked. A well-lit kitchen isn’t just brighter—it’s more inviting, more practical, and more versatile.

Modern kitchens benefit from layered lighting, including:

• Task lighting for food preparation areas
• Ambient lighting to set the overall mood
• Accent lighting to highlight cabinetry, splashbacks, or shelving

Under-cabinet LED lighting, illuminated drawers, and integrated plinth lights can all add depth and warmth to your kitchen while improving functionality. With the right lighting plan, your kitchen can effortlessly transition from daytime practicality to evening ambience.

The Beauty of a Bespoke Finish

Details are what turn a kitchen into a personal space. Whether it’s a unique splashback, a distinctive handle finish, or perfectly balanced lighting, these elements reflect your style and how you live.
