When you are planning your kitchen remodeling project, the backsplash is an important detail to remember. From the many styles, colors, and designs, there is a lot to think about when designing the perfect kitchen backsplash look for your kitchen. Here are some tips on features to think about.
You might not know the name of it, but you will recognize this as soon as it is described. A backsplash is the material or design that runs along the wall behind your counter in the kitchen. It literally protects the wall from accidents or any splatters in the kitchen and is an easy to clean surface.
There are many different materials or designs of kitchen backsplashes to choose from:
Depending on your creative goals, you can use tiles that are rounded, rectangular, square, or virtually any shape to create your backsplash. You can also purchase entire sheets of them for easy installation. These peel and stick varieties are cheaper and come in many different colors and patterns, perfect for DIY but they do not last longer than their natural tile counterparts. If you go with regular wallpaper or chalkboard paint behind your counters, but this will not protect your wall from any cooking messes.
Clean and sand the wall where the kitchen backsplash will be installed. Work your way along the edge of the countertop first to make it flush then work upwards and out, away from the counter.
