The backsplash is the wall just by your stove, frequently treated to keep it dry and looking forever-stylish. But how exactly to attain that super sweet look? Let’s check out our options!
Paint: When it comes to design, this is as simple (and as cheap) as it gets, folks. All you have to do is a pick a color and be sure to purchase a high resistance paint, since you’ll be doing an awful lot of wiping, and you don’t want to wipe off the paint itself.
Ceramic Tiles: This tends to be the option found in most homes. It makes for a fun weekend project and can run the gamut from pricey to affordable. Whatever you decide on, try to aim for a glazed tile, they’re more durable. Have fun with your patterns and colors, get a friend involved!
Glass: This is living the life of luxury. Being inherently translucent and offering a sheen and edge to a contemporary home, it can also be a bit more costly. However the stunning effect of cubes, or even sheets, of glass can be well worth it.
Stainless steel: Stainless Steel is the “It Girl” of kitchen backsplashes. With its industrial edge and power-clean sheen, it will make your kitchen feel like a well-oiled machine.
Resin: Let us not forget resin. With its flexibility, resin squares come in any color under the sun, don’t retain heat, release food with ease, and come in all sorts of fun textures as well!
