Backsplash can completely change the way your kitchen looks. You can use a unique design, a tile with a bright color, or even the same material as your countertops. Backsplash is used to protect your walls from the potential damage that could come from everyday use in a kitchen. Whether you accidentally spray water out of the sink or turn on your mixer speed too high when making a cake, the backsplash can make sure your kitchen stays looking pristine.
Just because your kitchen’s backsplash serves a helpful purpose does not mean it needs to be boring. Adding a pop of color to your kitchen with backsplash can allow your kitchen to make a statement. There is not a right or wrong choice when it comes to backsplash, but you want to make sure it complements your countertops and cabinets.
There are several material options when it comes to backsplash. Here are some options that may fit in your space.
Using a bright color backsplash can bring a once boring kitchen to life in a unique way. There is more freedom with using colors than you might think. Using a few different shades of one color can create a different look from just using one shade of blue for example. If you would like to use just one color you can add extra spunk to the backsplash with the pattern the tile is laid in or the shape of the tiles themselves.
Marble can create a show stopping look when used for backsplash. If you are thinking of getting marble countertops, consider extending the same marble up your walls as backsplash. This style of backsplash will add a luxurious feel to your space and make your space look more high end. In addition to looking great this material works great for backsplashes because it is durable to heat and any messes you may have.
Backsplash isn’t just about the tile. It’s also about the grout. Picking an out of the box color for your grout can add a different look without having to commit to a large amount of color. Using a dark grout with a lighter tile can emphasize the shape of tile you chose and bring more attention to your backsplash.
