Backsplash Materials

One of the key components to any kitchen design is the backsplash. A stylish backsplash can be a great accent for a well designed kitchen. To make the most of your backsplash, you should look into what materials are available so that you can match it to your kitchen in order to find one that really matches.

Tile

Tile is one of the most common backsplash materials, and for good reason: it’s durable, affordable, and versatile. You can get it in a variety of sizes and colors and keeping it clean isn’t a constant challenge. It’s hard to go wrong with a tile backsplash. It’s a timeless backsplash material that can fit into absolutely any kitchen.

Granite

A granite backsplash goes great with a granite or quartz countertop. Granite is cut from stone and its natural appearance makes it completely unique in its pattern. It’s very hard to damage granite due to its natural hardness, heat resistance, and its stainproof surface. Granite comes in countless colors and patterns, so it’s easy to find the right design for your kitchen.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel, as its name implies, is a durable material that fits very well into a modern kitchen. A stainless steel backsplash can be a stunning way to accent your kitchen and fits well with stainless steel appliances.

Glass

Glass backsplashes are another option that can fit into almost any kitchen because of how they mesh with the rest of the kitchen’s design. A glass backsplash reflects light and can really help brighten a space, and glass backsplashes also can be colored to work with your kitchen’s color scheme.

Wood

If you like the look of wood and want to try something unique for a backsplash material, wood is a great option. Wood backsplashes are very warming and fit well with wood that you already have in your house or creates a beautiful contrast with stainless steel appliances.
