A kitchen without a backsplash is just a bit plain. However, the goal is to utilize this opportunity for a pop of color. It will also give you a chance to really show off your style. The backsplash becomes the focal point of the room. You may wonder what will make the best background for your space. It could be a mosaic print, subway tile, or even some painted artwork. No matter what material you use, it will all make a huge difference. Here are some backsplash options that you may want to consider.

Use Framing

It may sound odd, but you can frame out the area by using a frame as a border. This is probably one of the most inexpensive methods available, but it can also really enhance the area. You can use chair rail, glass, tiles or just about anything you want. Any material that looks good can make a good frame.

Install Tile In Unique Shapes

Perhaps it is not the tile you pick that will give you the most bang for your buck, but rather the pattern in which you lay it. Why not put your tile at a 45-degree angle and create a diamond shaped pattern? If the diamonds are not for you, then why not try the herringbone pattern? Now, these patterns are a bit more meticulous than just putting your tile straight, but the effect is exceptional.

 

Paint An Accent Wall

If your money is tight and you want to get the best look you can for the least expensive price, an accent wall is key. Why not paint a wall with a bright color, or just choose to tile one wall? It can make a huge statement but doesn’t have to break the bank.

Use Metal Accents

Copper and stainless steel has become huge accents features that builders use in a home. Metals can either acts as a frame or they can be used alone as the center point. Some metal work comes in patterns and shape for even more of a striking appearance.

Go Old School With Exposed Brick

Brick was originally thought of as a material used for the outside structure of a home. However, these days’ people love the look of the old-world charm element inside the home. It gives homes a country feel that brings things down-to-earth. You can use real brick or you can opt for the faux sheets that are easy to install.

Do an Ornate Mosaic Tile

Mosaics are a great option because they can be as different as the kitchen they are installed in. You can use variations of colors and materials to get the look you want. They can have a frame added to them for even more appeal. There is something fun about busting the glasses and stones and weaving them into an interesting formation that is sure to please. If you want your kitchen to escape the “cookie cutter” look, then a mosaic is the way to go.
