A backsplash is the vertical surface of the wall behind your countertops and appliances. The main function of a backsplash is to protect the wall behind a stove or countertop from splashes and spills. However, the backsplash can be  a striking design element in a kitchen cabinet remodel.

Exploring backsplash options is a wonderful way to add pizzazz and color to your kitchen cabinet remodel. A backsplash can create a stunning focal point to your kitchen, add elements of your personality to the area, or be used to tie elements of design together.

Classic: For a classic look, traditional ceramic tiles offers beautiful color options. The tiles can be applied in a grid pattern either straight up and down or on the diagonal, or a combination of the two. Choose between a shiny gloss surface for a touch of contemporary or a matte finish for more subdued classic. Glass tile can also be used and often adds luminosity and depth. Mosaic: If color is what you are seeking, mosaic tiles come immediately to mind. This smaller form of tile allows a plethora of versatility to combine color, design and applique elements. With mosaic work, you can choose from a wide variety of materials including ceramic tiles, glass tiles, and more. Mosaic backsplashes can act as a unifying element to tie it all together when you’ve chosen to use a variety of colors in your kitchen cabinets, counters and walls. Shine and Shimmer: Some backsplash surfaces add bling and shine to your kitchen as well as functionality. A few such options include stainless steel (which can be flat or used as tiles) and glass tiles. Shiny surfaces reflects light around the room and can add depth. Bring Nature In: Using more natural elements such as tumblestone can bring a warmth and feel of nature into your kitchen cabinet remodel. This can be an perfect offset to modern stainless steel appliances, adding a touch of welcome and warmth to the shine of those metallic surfaces. Tumbled stone is also unique in offering a subtlety of color variation and a one of a kind uniqueness.
