Simple Kitchen Backsplash Ideas
Simple Kitchen Backsplash Ideas
For many of us, the backsplash is the last area to get designed in our kitchen remodel. In fact, sometimes the backsplash doesn’t get done for months after everything else is finished! Part of that may be due to trying to get too complicated or fussy with our kitchen backsplash ideas. Especially if you have very special granite or other complex patterns in the kitchen, simple may be better. So, for example, you might go with a stainless steel backsplash or copper backsplash, as a beautiful and simple backdrop to your counters and accessories. Texture can add pattern to metal backsplashes without adding color. Decorative ceramic tile can be simple or complex: consider basic subway tile in a single color with a subtly toning grout color. When designing a tile backsplash, consider a range of muted and related tones as seen in a tumbled marble backsplash, or perhaps go for the jewel-like glow of glass tile. Kitchen wall tiles are more practical (especially in heavy-splatter areas like behind the range) when they have fewer grout lines to seal and clean, so consider larger tiles rather than the currently fashionable mosaics.
