The kitchen window is often the focal point of this room and the view it reveals creates a relationship with the outside world for those who spend more time inside this space cooking or doing other household chores. And a window that doubles as a kitchen backsplash is quite a stylish and modern solution in interior design.
In this publication we will present you photos with ideas of how to organize the space in the kitchen so that the window has the function of a backsplash and is right in front of the person who is working to inspire you.
What is a kitchen backsplash and what functions does it have?
A kitchen backsplash is not only a functional element, but is part of the decoration that highlights the ethos of the interior. There are many trends in kitchen backsplash today and you may have seen numerous ideas using different materials such as plaster, glass, metal, and many more. However, the idea that we are going to discuss today became popular several years ago and is gaining more and more popularity: dashboard windows.
Pros and Cons of Windows as Kitchen Backsplashes
Dashboard windows are truly a unique idea. If you opt for this solution, you can be sure that not many people have the same thing in their homes. This type of backsplash guarantees incredible views and lots of natural light, which will make your kitchen more welcoming. In addition, this dashboard easily adapts to many decorating styles, from modern to industrial.
As for the disadvantages, we must recognize that glass is not the most durable material to make a back wall and it also requires maintenance: you will have to clean it every day since splashes are clearly visible on the glass.
A window that works as a backsplash means you won’t have much privacy especially if your window faces another nearby building, which can create significant discomfort.
Also, although this solution is considered quite versatile, it may not combine well with some of the styles, for example shabby chic or rustic. Here are some examples of dashboard windows that you can use as a starting point for your own kitchen designs.
Window Backsplash
A window backsplash is always an option worth considering if you have amazing views or have a private garden or patio. Grow lots of greenery in front of the window to freshen up the kitchen and make it look more lively. This idea is especially great for a contemporary or minimalist monochrome space.

Bay windows as kitchen backsplashes
The bay window is another popular option that can take up the entire wall and simply connect the kitchen to the outside space. In such a case, the views will be better than with a simple dashboard window and you will get the maximum natural light from a bay window or a full glazed wall. You can also make a sliding window to easily serve outdoor food.

Being able to enjoy a magnificent view outside while preparing your food is a good reason to consider such a solution when designing your kitchen.
