Kitchen Backsplash - Design Ideas

The most popular kitchen backsplash materials are ceramic tile, solid stone, stamped metal and plastic. The obvious use of tiles is in wet areas behind sinks, basins and stove tops creating beautiful images in your kitchen.

You will be able to produce interesting effects by using plain colors with borders, by mixing patterned tiles or randomly among plain ceramic tile to make up a complete mural.

When it comes to backsplash design, the possibilities are endless.

The handyman or woman can easily create and install their own design. The more intricate designs may call for an expert installer.

Handmade tiles cost more, but their colors and texture have attractive slight variations that will give your walls greater depth.
