Kitchen Backsplash: Practical or Decorative?

December 4, 2020 by Chris DiMirco

As you prepare to redecorate your kitchen, your best option is to have a plan ready. The elements that you want to have clear in your mind might be the color scheme, the window options, backsplash and the type of furniture and appliances. In a kitchen remodel, one of the most popular requests is the backsplash.


Homeowners love the look but also want to know whether it serves any function. Is it purely for decoration or is there some kind of practical use for backsplash? Here is what you need to know before embarking on kitchen remodeling.


Types of Backsplash

When it comes to backsplash, there are a lot of options. The most common option is ceramic tile. Ceramic tiles come in a variety of colors and design without needing a lot of maintenance. In addition, they are scratch-resistant. On the other hand, there are glass tile backsplashes. These tend to look more elegant and come in a variety of shapes and patterns. For those with a taste for more modern design elements, you can also have a stainless steel backsplash.


Use of Backsplash

Backsplash is more than decoration. While it can completely change the look of your kitchen and can be a decorative statement, it is more than that. When you install a backsplash, you can prevent staining on your walls. Have you ever been cooking, only to have oil or tomato sauce splash against the wall? When you have backsplash, you can easily wipe it down. Likewise, it is usually moisture resistant and protects moisture from getting into the wall.


To install a backsplash is going to offer you more than just an interesting and unique design element for your kitchen. It also provides protection against moisture and staining. With a backsplash, you not only receive practical benefits, but you can customize your kitchen to become your dream kitchen. The options that you have when journeying towards kitchen remodeling are limitless.
