What will bring out the best for our kitchens? Will it be a subway type, aluminum, mirror, paper, or marble? There are multitudes of backsplashes to choose from and only one will make it in our kitchen so what will be the most ideal of all?
HGTV gives the list of supreme choices for your home's backsplashes.
1. So Many Options but Tile is Still the Top Choice
Bringing in tiles for our backsplashes is already a classic. Nobody could go wrong with tiles and it is a smart choice if we can't choose the best one in the variety of assortments.
"Tile is still the most popular backsplash material, with natural stone a fast-growing second," said John Morgan, 2013 National President of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. "But with the right installer, you can make just about any material work."
2. Reclaimed Wood
Reclaimed woods are always a favorite in the house because it brings out that extraordinary rustic look that most reclaimed woods have. According to the outlet, making this material as a backsplash helps to "warm up the stainless steel appliances and concrete floor."
3. Paper: Picture Perfect
Making use of photos as your backsplash would not only make your kitchen nostalgic but it is undoubtedly a very unique way to design the area.
If you want to use this idea, "Designer Brian Patrick Flynn gave a sentimental twist to this sleek, modern kitchen with a cutting-edge backsplash printed from a favorite family photo. Orange accents brighten the monochromatic palette."
4. Mirror
This material is flexible and although not everyone uses mirrors to accentuate areas of their home, this is another great element that could make the kitchen appear larger.
"A small kitchen space immediately feels larger with this mirrored surface and bright white marble countertops," the outlet adds.
5. Tin Sheets
Tin Sheets used as backsplashes gives it a very interesting detail especially if the tin sheets used have engaging designs.
"The tin backsplash in this white kitchen is a budget-friendly fix that also adds visual interest. White cabinets and countertops keep the small space feeling light and open," as cited from the article.
