The kitchen backsplash has grown to have a dual purpose: provide an accent on the overall kitchen style and protect the walls from stains. Anyone who has had the 3 inch standard backsplash knows that a wall can get stained above the 3 inches. Today’s backsplashes can be made out of a variety of materials such as glass, stone, metal or even quartz. There are many options depending on the style of cabinet and kitchen design.
Contemporary Kitchen Design: Stainless steel metal backsplash and colored glass tile are great options for a contemporary kitchen design. Another option is quartz. Quartz countertops are popular in contemporary design so some kitchen designers use the same quartz for the kitchen backsplash to compliment the simple design and clean lines.
Traditional/Classical Kitchen Design: Marble tile, glass tile or a travertine tile can compliment any classical design. Travertine tile is diverse and can be used as a kitchen backsplash for stained or painted cabinets.
Transitional Kitchen Design: There are many choices in materials for transitional design because it blends contemporary and traditional design elements. Speak with your kitchen designer about your personal style. If you are understated, then a lightly veined marble or soft colored travertine tile may work in your design. For a dramatic statement, consider colored glass tiles to accent other colors in the design.
