How to Select a Backsplash for Your Kitchen
The kitchen is believed to be the heart of the home, and one one area that the entire family gathers to make delicious and hearty memories regularly. It’s also a huge selling point if you’re looking to put your house on the market in the future. A kitchen’s backsplash is like its jewelry, adding a touch of sparkle and flair. It can also help bring your kitchen décor together while making the room easier to clean, which is always a bonus.
To determine what backsplash is best for your kitchen, you must first know the options – and there are a lot. Here are some things to consider:
When selecting a backsplash for your kitchen, the first thing you need to consider is the material. You have an abundance of options to choose from, as tiles can come in cement, mosaic, pattern, laser cut, subway – and the list goes on. A few of our favorites are:
• Ceramic backsplash: Ceramic tiles are the most commonly used ones for backsplashes and come in a wide range of colors and designs that can be perfect for adding some personality into your interior.
• Glass backsplash: Glass backsplashes are a new trend that add a bit of sparkle and shine into your kitchen. As a bonus, they’re super easy to clean!
• Mosaic tile backsplash: Mosaic tiles offer a unique, rich and attractive look.
When choosing what backsplash will look best in your kitchen and entire home, consider the style. Be sure to review options for:
• Different colors and patterns: do you have a current accent color or theme in your kitchen you need to complement? Will this become your “pop” of color? And if so, what shade will be most pleasing to see there every day?
Backsplashes typically cover the space between the countertops and cabinetry, but sometimes they wrap all around the kitchen. Other times, backsplashes are applied in small rectangles along the base of the countertop. The latter can be an affordable option when working on a tight budget, and with the use of fewer tiles, you may be able to use a more luxurious material. Consider the areas that the backsplash is intended for, whether it reaches the ceiling or is going to be limited to high-use areas. You can then properly select a type within your budget. Backsplashes can instantly add aesthetics into your kitchen while enhancing the durability of the surrounding walls as well. Selecting the perfect option for your home isn’t hard, but there are some careful considerations that need to be made to ensure your needs, budget and style are met.
