As you remodel or renovate your kitchen, you’ll have one decision after another to make about the layout, design, color scheme, and features of your kitchen. Don’t let the kitchen backsplash become an oversight. Your kitchen backsplash prevents water, soap, grease, and other substances from damaging your walls. You should have a backsplash behind your sink and your stove. Here’s a look at both bold and traditional backsplashes, and the pros and cons of each:
Bold Backsplashes for Fun, Modern Kitchen Designs
If you love color, unique textures, and distinctive patterns, you should consider a bold kitchen backsplash. Whether your kitchen is white and you want to add a pop of color, or you want to complement a rainbow of shades or colors in your kitchen design, a bold backsplash offers a lot of versatility. You can opt for bold solid colors like turquoise tiles, yellow geometric shapes, or shades of pink and red. There are thousands of fun designs out there to choose from!
Traditional Backsplashes for Timeless Kitchen Designs
If you’re getting ready to sell your home, or just appreciate timeless, traditional design aesthetics, consider a traditional kitchen backsplash. A traditional backsplash can work with any kitchen design or aesthetic and won’t detract from the overall ambience of the space. Traditional backsplashes can still add pops of color, but they won’t be as unique or trendy. You’ll see black and white tile designs, stamped metal, subway tiles, and mosaic style backsplashes.
Pros and Cons of Each Style of Backsplash
The pros of bold backsplashes are that you get to express yourself, add some fun to your kitchen design, and make a dramatic statement. The cons are that it might make your home harder to sell, and you might be more likely to get tired of it sooner than if you’d chosen something more traditional. The pros of traditional kitchen backsplashes are that they make everyone happy and comfortable, it will be easier to sell your home, and they are often less expensive. The cons are that you might eventually find them boring, and they might make your kitchen look dull or lacking in personality.
