We've just spotted an unexpected yet super elegant detail at Joanna Gaines' kitchen sink – and we think it's going to be a backsplash trend to watch
This clever small detail makes all the difference to her sink backsplash
When doing our daily scrolls of interior designers and experts on Instagram, Joanna Gaines's page has always been a firm favorite.
From Joanna Gaines' best home renovations from the Fixer Upper archives to posts about her new cooking show Magnolia Table and glimpses of her real home, she really does provide us with an assortment of home decor ideas and inspiration.
But recently, the famed designer has piqued our interest with a sneak peek at an unexpected kitchen sink idea that feels unique yet timeless and elegant all at the same time. Here's why she's left us feeling so inspired.

In the video, posted on Joanna's personal Instagram account, she shares an ode to her recently discovered love for making sourdough, promising some more recipes to follow.
But it wasn't her impressive rise that caught our eye on the H&G desk. In fact, it was her kitchen sink that had us in a chokehold.
While the video itself is incredibly aesthetically pleasing, featuring enough jars to make pantry organization aficionados jealous and a light blue Le Creuset to die for, it is the kitchen backsplash that we spotted in the background that really shone.
If you look past the ornate kitchen island (which is hard to ignore, it's so beautiful) to what looks like Joanna's back kitchen, you'll notice rows upon rows of shelves drenched in a rich, moody dark green paint.

The white and grey marble countertop provides a welcome break from the dark green kitchen, while the marble backsplash rises in a curved shape that creates a simple flourish on the paneled wall.
Reminiscent of antique washstands, the concaved corners and ogee profile edges give the kitchen an old-world charm that you don't often see in such a practical space.
Much like the kitchen seen above, designed by deVOL Kitchens, the pink-veined marble countertop flows up to serve as one continuous piece – a great alternative to popular tile ideas.
In the kitchen above, Tess Interiors chose to create a similar look beyond the range instead. Rising up to meet the extractor hood, this green-toned marble slab has a subtle wave to its edge that feels so much softer than a straight edge.
And while blended backsplashes – the use of entire slabs running up and over the kitchen wall – aren't anything new, it's the shape that makes this design really special.
Shop The Look
Get yourself a copycat blue Le Creuset just like Joanna Gaines. This is the 'Sea Salt' colorway, but you can choose from deeper or lighter hues to match your kitchen.
Inspiring us to get more creative with our kitchen backsplash ideas, we love the curved and elegant detailing on Joanna's marble blended backsplash in her recent home video.
