Move over subway tile, there s a new kitchen backsplash trend in town: wallpaper! As kitchen design takes a turn toward more personal style (a kitchen design trend for 2021 predicted by top designers we interviewed) and away from the all-white look that has reigned supreme for so long, it s only fitting that wallpaper, that most transportive and textural of design elements, should come along for the ride.
We re particularly dazzled by this Naples, Florida, kitchen featured in our March/April 2021 issue and designed by Summer Thornton Design, a Chicago-based interior design firm. Along the wall behind the Lacanche range, Thorton installed a hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper called Sans Soucis.
