Kitchen backsplash in Troense, Denmark

In this kitchen, Muller Van Severen’s Vanilla tile introduces a gentle sense of warmth to a room defined by steel and clean surfaces. The soft vanilla tone creates a clear, understated contrast to the stainless steel countertops and extractor, giving the space a more balanced and personal feel. Subtle variations in the glaze add a quiet movement across the wall, catching the light in a natural, unforced way.

The tiles are installed without visible grout lines, allowing them to sit tight and close together, preserving a more authentic Moroccan expression and allowing the surface to feel cohesive and handcrafted. The backsplash acts as a straightforward design element that brings identity to the kitchen without taking over the room. It sits comfortably alongside open shelving, exposed beams and simple cabinetry, adding a layer of material presence that ties the space together.

The home belongs to Anne Gjesing, founder and owner of TOKO Objects, a design store in Svendborg, Denmark, known for its carefully selected mix of everyday objects, handmade pieces and international design. Anne also works as a freelance interior stylist, and the same thoughtful approach to design, materials and function that characterises her store is reflected in the atmosphere of her kitchen. She lives here with her husband and their four sons.
