Stylish Backsplash Ideas for Your Kitchen

A kitchen redesign lets you update the room's look, and a unique backsplash can create a focal point. Greenville Kitchen & Bath provides a variety of backsplash materials and designs. We can also install functional design features, like windows and range hoods. Here are a few ways to create stylish backsplashes for your kitchen remodeling project:

Select Backsplash Materials

Kitchen remodeling companies offer a wide range of backsplash materials, so you can create a unique design. They also offer a variety of patterns and designs. They can help you choose the material that best fits your design preferences. Some options include: 

• Marble
• Mosaic tile
• Patterned tile
• White subway tile
• Blue brick

Marble backsplashes work well in a modern kitchen with stone countertops, helping create a cohesive design. Mosaic and patterned tiles provide visual interest with unique detail. Small tiles may help add texture to the kitchen. For a classic design, try white subway tiles; for some color, use a blue brick style. 

Include Functional Features

Backsplashes can include other features to create a functional and stylish kitchen. A range hood set within the backsplash tile creates a distinct focal point. It helps break up the straight lines of cabinets on either side, and the backsplash can surround the range hood and extend upward toward the ceiling. A full-height backsplash creates a consistent appearance along the wall. 

Some remodeling companies provide backsplash window installations. This lets natural light enter the kitchen, brightens the design, and helps you create a modern, unique kitchen. It also creates a natural task light for tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Add one window above the sink, or include a couple along the wall for more outdoor views. You can also install under-cabinet lighting to brighten your workspace and add ambient light in the evening. Different lighting types help highlight the backsplash from different angles. 

Design Backsplashes Around Kitchen Styles

Match the backsplash to the rest of the kitchen for an intentionally planned design. Some backsplashes follow a similar color scheme as the paint and cabinets, while others contrast for a defined appearance. You could have white marble countertops with a blue tile backsplash for maximum effect. For a minimalist style, use white subway tile with neutral-colored countertops and cabinets. Busy backsplash tilework works well with simple cabinets. If you prefer to have intricate woodwork, choose a simpler backsplash. Some homes have an open-concept layout that combines the kitchen, dining, and living rooms in one spacious area; contractors can design the backsplash to have a visually pleasing transition point.
