The 3 most beautiful credenza categories
The credenza is back in fashion, and is now a fixture in our kitchens. Not only does it protect the wall from cooking splatters and spatters, it's also practical. To determine which credenza is best suited to your kitchen, you need to take into account a number of factors(worktop, distance, etc.). Here we take a look at the 3 most attractive types of credenza.
1. The decorative credenza
Tiling is traditionally used on kitchen walls. Play with tile shapes and color combinations to create a beautiful harmony. Practical, they resist everyday knocks, splashes and heat. When cleaning, remember to go over the joints. They are the main weakness of this material.
I chose a tortoiseshell credenza to add a real decorative element to my kitchen. I found it on the Homycrush website, which gives a second life to surplus tiles.

Whether it's tiles or cement tiles, the idea is to highlight the area above the worktop.
2. The credenza "rising" from the worktop
For a "continuous" effect, you can opt for the same material as the worktop and simply raise it up on the wall. The only thing to decide is the height of the backsplash. Either you install the sockets above the backsplash, or you install the sockets IN the backsplash.
Dimensions can vary from 12 cm to 35 cm in height. The advantage of this solution is that no new material needs to be added when the worktop is already heavily veined.
In his immaculate kitchen, the owner chose a black worktop and credenza in Zimbabwe granite. This creates an effect of depth and frames, drawing the space in a very graphic way.
3. The zellige credenza
"Zellige" means "tile" in Arabic. This is one of the types of ceramic tile that have developed around the Mediterranean basin since Roman and Byzantine times.
These glazed clay tiles come from Morocco. They are hand-formed in 11 cm squares, like those from Mosaic Factory. These tiles reflect light in an incomparable way.
