The main function of a kitchen backsplash is to keep your walls protected from the stains and splashes common during food preparation. This doesn’t mean, however, that it can’t make a statement. The material options available for a kitchen backsplash today offer much in terms of design and aesthetics. The next time you schedule a kitchen remodeling project, consider getting a new backsplash as well to complement your kitchen’s new style.
Stainless Steel
When it comes to durability, no other material can hold a candle to stainless steel. The clean luster of metal backsplashes is reminiscent of a professional looking kitchen. This material is also incredibly easy to clean, making it the ideal candidate for busy kitchens. Its disadvantage, however, is that its looks may not be a good match to more traditionally designed kitchen cabinets, counters and fixtures. Steel can also dent easily and is prone to minor scratches. Admittedly, scratches can give the metallic surface a deeper character.
Ceramic and Porcelain
This is, by far, the most common material used in many homes across the nation. Its ubiquity has led to a wide variety of design options that can fit with almost any design style: from rustic and traditional to modern and minimalist. This strength could also be its undoing. The sheer number of options available to homeowners can trigger massive cases of choice paralysis. Gather inspiration from Pinterest boards and architectural magazines so you don’t get overwhelmed by the decision.
