The Backsplash Effect

 

 

An exceptional kitchen that makes sense as well as looking good combines functionality, style and quality.

 

The Wonder Effect of the Backsplash

The choice of backsplash in a kitchen is very important to bring the whole interior together.
It can be of stone, glass, stainless steel, mirror, metal tile, marble, mosaic tiles, large textures tiles, or some artistic feature. The traditional way to display the backsplash is between the countertop and the underside of the wall cabinet covering the hob width.

Here is where you can make your kitchen stand out for its uniqueness.  When your kitchen hasn’t got a wall cabinet above the countertop, you can go higher with your backsplash to ceiling-height. Even cover a whole wall when you have an open kitchen.

Make a Statement

This way you create an interesting focal point.
The use of colour brightens the kitchen space up and breaks up the cabinetry run. Blue colour makes the kitchen feel cool and relaxed.  Red or yellow colours create a burst of energy. Be daring and combine two colours for a nice twist and creative style. Colourful mosaic tiles and glossy subway tiles that reflect the light are very trendy and popular these days.  The white subway tile 3’ x 6’ size has been a very popular choice.

Popular Large Subway Tiles

However, if you have a small kitchen a larger format subway tile can create a feeling of continuity, especially if you extend the backsplash to the ceiling. Some other new popular patterns for tiles are checkered, herringbone, travertine and chevron.

The Calming Look of Marble

Always keep the colour and style of your cabinetry in mind when choosing the backsplash, and the two will uplift each other.
