What is your style? Whether it is refined or funky, neutral or loud: The kitchen backsplash reflects your personality and is a focal point.? This is an opportunity to be creative and showcase your new and updated renovation or slight changes to your space.
How to Choose Backsplash Colours
Often, countertops dictate the?backsplash?colour.? If you would like to create depth in your space, match the colour to your countertop. If the height is what you want, match the tile to the cabinet colour.?
Look at the samples in your space in your natural light.? Determine how they feel in the morning, when you will have fresh eyes and at night when the distractions are over.
Choose one main colour and accent colours if your kitchen backsplash is large and spread out. Mix materials like glass and metal or handmade tiles with natural stone.
Spice Up the Space
Invest in this high-impact zone.? Coffee stations, bars or desk areas can be spiced up with a different colour, pattern and texture. If there is more square footage of wall space above the range and sink, you can play with tile design. These are the areas that get a lot of visual attention.
This is the place to play up pattern. Some options include installing tile in a herringbone or chevron pattern or stacking tiles vertically. Another option is using a rhombus and creating a unique pattern of flowers.
If you are conservative by nature, then the classic subway tile is the default. Consider using a darker or lighter grout to showcase the tile.
Don't be afraid to spice it up in this typically small area. So, if you choose a bold color or trendy tile pattern for this zone, you can always change it down the road without tearing out your entire kitchen?backsplash.
Material Choices
The options are endless when it comes to selection. There are a few things to keep in mind when making your final choice.
