Backsplash is both functional and aesthetic. Protecting your walls from the inevitable splatter while cooking, they also tend to be an important design feature when renovating your kitchen. You also have the options to do-it-yourself or have a professional install them for you. At All Flooring USA, we have a large variety of styles and materials to match any design for your kitchen.

Backsplash Style Choice

Backsplash is one place in the kitchen where you have a lot of liberty in style. You can go for a more subtle backsplash, like all-white squares, or for a more stylistic choice you can use multi-color or different shaped tiles. The key to making your backsplash really shine is to incorporate it into your design, make sure it flows with all the other elements of your kitchen. For example, you’d want to make sure that your countertops match your backsplash. One suggestion is to pick a common or complementary color between the two elements.

Choosing Your Backsplash Material

Backsplash comes in a variety of materials. The most popular material for backsplash is ceramic and porcelain tile. These are durable and stand well against moisture. They’re available in a multitude of colors, shapes, and patterns. Glass Tile is also a popular choice because of the brightening effects it has on the room. With brushed copper and metal tile, you can add an entirely new vibe to the room. Another alternative material is stone backsplash. Travertine is a good option for this. You can really elevate the appeal of the kitchen with the backsplash design.

Choosing Your Backsplash Color

As we mentioned earlier, you want your backsplash to tie into the room and be a focal point. Color is a key way to achieve this. Common backsplash colors are white, gray, black, and blue. When tiling your backsplash, you can also play around with a contrasting grout color to add a more unique style. If you have a specific color theme in your kitchen, you can incorporate that into the backsplash for the perfect tie in.

Build A Theme with Your Backsplash

You can incorporate your backsplash throughout the house, including the kitchen, bathroom, and even the mudroom. This can help create a unified feel throughout your house. You can utilize complimentary tiles in your shower that are the same color/shape/pattern as your kitchen backsplash. You can line your mudroom with the same backsplash from your kitchen in a different color.

Conclusion

Backsplash is very versatile and is an amazing way to add a unique touch to many rooms in your house. Backsplash comes in a variety of colors, materials, patterns, and shapes enabling you to really customize the look and feel of your kitchen, bathroom, or mudroom. You can install the backsplash yourself or you can hire a professional to install them for you. Check out our other blog posts for more design guides and remodeling information.
