Choosing Your Kitchen or Bathroom Backsplash

 

For many, the arrival of a new year often means a new you. A new you can have many different translations for those still making resolutions in these early months of 2022. It can mean getting a drastic new haircut to improve your personal confidence and style or picking out a new outfit or two for a special occasion. 

 

But for some, a new you might not equate to individual improvements. As we give a fond farewell to 2021, for many, a new you might better be described as a new look to your home. And what better place to improve your home than in your kitchen or bathroom? 

 

Your kitchen is where your family and friends gather at the end of a long day at work, recapping the highlights of the day while preparing the meal you will all share together. It’s a place where you not only gather but where your creativity can thrive. Likewise, your bathroom is like your own personal oasis, a place to retreat and regroup in to let the stresses of the day melt away. So doesn’t it make sense that you would want these rooms to be as beautiful as possible in 2022 and beyond? 

 

A great way to give your kitchen or bathroom an entirely new look is to install a new backsplash. Luckily, designers have your kitchen or bathroom backsplash stand out all year round and in the future. Here are a few things to consider when choosing your kitchen or bathroom backsplash for your upcoming renovation!

 

Avoid Common Mistakes

To save you time, money, and frustration, understand that the primary field tile should be thicker than the decorative tile on your backsplash. Otherwise, you’ll spend more money building up the wall so that most of your tile lies with the decorative pieces. Also, remember trim pieces by asking which trim and decorative moldings come with the tile, and ask if the tile you want for the backsplash is currently in stock (especially with the supply chain being the way it is today!)

 

Match colors But Mix Materials

HGTV recommends that if you have a tough time deciding among tiles, choose one primary color and then a couple of accent colors throughout the kitchen, including the backsplash. This is a great place to start since countertops often dictate the backsplash color and style. Want another tip from the pros at HGTV? Try mixing metallic tiles in different shades with various finishes, such as brushed stainless steel, oil-rubbed bronze, or even antique brass. Including small marble or granite tiles can allow you to seamlessly integrate the countertop color without making the rest of your decor in your kitchen or bathroom boring. 

 

Keep Function in Mind

Although the backsplash has to look beautiful, it also has to function properly, considering it is installed in high traffic and messy areas like the bathroom and kitchen! Therefore, the backsplash material should be easy to clean and be heatproof (if you are using it in the kitchen).
