There are several excellent reasons to consider installing backsplashes above your kitchen countertops. Not only can these features make it easier to clean food splatter from above the sink and stove range, but they also add color, style, and personality to your kitchen, impacting the room’s mood and improving home value. If you want to install this addition, there are a few tips to help you choose materials and styles.

How to Design a Backsplash for Your Kitchen

The spaces above your sink and stove range provide more blank wall than the rest of the room, which makes them natural focal points for any decorative designs you want to include. Consider using a less expensive, neutral-colored material for most of your kitchen’s backsplash. Then include brighter colors and eye-catching patterns in the focal areas.

2. Utilize Beautiful Materials

Quartz and granite are two of the most well-loved materials for countertops and backsplashes, with good reason. Granite is a natural stone, which can be cut to fit any preference and need. Its beauty and durability make it a favorite choice for many. Quartz, equally beautiful, is manufactured from quartz crystals held together by resin. Deciding between them usually comes down to personal preference and the installation surroundings. 

3. Select Patterns to Match Your Kitchen Countertops

Both quartz and granite are available in a variety of styles. Different types of granite have natural shadings and patterns across the face of the stone. As a man-made material, quartz can also be designed with various colors, which the manufacturers create by adding pigments. Kitchens can be designed with a single, uniform material for both countertops and backsplashes, or homeowners can mix and match for a spectacular effect.
