There are plenty of areas in the kitchen that we need to pay more attention to. Besides cabinets and countertops, a backsplash is one that we shouldn’t forget. A backsplash is the wall behind the stove and sink—usually covered with durable material for easy cleaning if liquid falls onto it. Because of its position, a backsplash can get dirty easily. However, it doesn’t mean that we should leave it as it is. Indeed, by designing of your backsplash more attractively, the whole appearance of your kitchen will improve.

There are various materials for a kitchen backsplash. Followings are some examples of the materials that can give you inspiration.

What kind of impression do you want to display in your kitchen? If you want to bring out an elegant and luxurious ambience, marble can be the right choice. To appear harmonious, you can use the same marble material for the backsplash and the countertop. To make it even more aesthetic, the colour choice for furniture and kitchen appliances can also be suited to the colour of the marble’s veins.

Country Kitchen with Wood Material

One of the characteristics of a country-style kitchen is the use of wood material. It is necessary to note that the timber chosen should be humidity-proof so that it’s not easily damaged. As an alternative, you can opt for wooden textured composite material that can last longer and still have a warm look.

Don’t avoid using white ceramics for your backsplash, fearing that it can get dirty easily. In fact, with ceramic material, this area will be very easy to clean even if it gets splashed by oil. Or if you don’t want the kitchen to look monotonous, you can choose subway tiles arranged in a brick bone pattern so that your backsplash can appear more appealing.

Besides subway tiles, another choice of backsplash that you can also consider is hexagon mosaic tiles. Applying these tiles as the backsplash would turn a plain kitchen wall into a nice-looking one. The appearance will look even more attractive with some lighting shining on it. You can install some hidden lighting behind the hanging cabinets to accentuate the backsplash in the kitchen.

Exposed Bricks

Another choice of material for backsplash is exposed brick. The use of this material makes the kitchen looks as traditional as in the countryside style. This kind of kitchen design can conjure up a warm ambience and surely encourage more passion for cooking in the kitchen.
