So why is the backsplash so important in kitchen design?

You may have wondered why can’t it just be left painted? Tiles last forever! What should I choose that won’t date?

Do not worry, here are some ideas on how to choose the right one.

The backsplash is a place for self expression in most kitchen design

-Look for a tile that will enhance the message of the kitchen. Example: glamorous, warm, inviting or something that just brings the outdoors in.

-Then find the tile or material that has that exact expression.

-Don’t underutilize a tile: it can go on walls near by or all the way to the ceiling.

-To create good flow, use a tile that relates well to the rest of the home. Choose a finish that will be inviting and pull you into the space.
Stand back and view the tile from other rooms not just the countertop it’s going up against.

Glass tile comes in many sizes and colours

Enhance the harmony by ensuring your backsplash has taken some of its colours and elements from the countertop.
