No matter how many kitchen renovations I have been involved with, each is unique in their own way. With a variety of cabinetry, countertop and appliance options, homeowners can mix-and-match to their hearts’ content. Another unique feature found in kitchens is the backsplash. A kitchen backsplash is usually made up of materials that generally make the surface resistant to splashes and spills from cooking and food preparation. Today, designers utilize the backsplash to create the atmosphere for the entire room.
Most backsplashes for the kitchen are designed through intricate tile patterns. Tile comes in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes and colors that can be arranged to create a multitude of designs to fit your personality and space.
For a fun and creative design, consider glass liner bars in various color options.
Add texture to your accent wall by using porous stone in a diagonal pattern. Be aware that this natural stone should be sealed to protect the material from water damage.
Use artwork as the focal point and surround with tailored marble tiles, glass mosaic accents and medallions.
Keep it traditional and run handmade subway tiles above the stove and countertop area.
For a modern look, create a color scheme using glass mosaic tiles.
Choose neutral colors for the backsplash to help resell your home. You can even incorporate tile rosettes and a border to create accent pieces onto the wall.
Having a tiled kitchen backsplash provides a functional as well as fashionable addition and is the easiest way to add your own personal touch to the design of your kitchen.
