Dream Kitchen Backsplash If you are undertaking a kitchen remodel project, then you are without a doubt considering every angle of the project for the ultimate dream kitchen. As such, you need to consider what materials might make the best backsplash that will be both useful in protecting the wall from unintended splashing liquid and will also look both stylish and timeless. Here are some of the latest backsplash trends.

Timeless Glass Backsplash for Your Dream Kitchen

Glass tiles for your backsplash are a very popular choice. These types of tiles can come in a number of different styles, all of them wonderfully suitable for a kitchen. They come in many different shapes, such as subway tiles or the form of elegant and custom patterns. Designers expect that glass will not be on its way out of style anytime soon.

Versatile Mosaic Backsplashes

Mosaic is a wonderful choice for kitchen backsplashes because it is so versatile. Mosaic can be comprised of glass, stone, or many tiny tiles for a beautiful and classic design. The versatility of mosaic also allows for plenty of creativity when it comes to image and design that other types of materials might not offer; your dream kitchen can be as abstract or as elaborate as you desire. Take inspiration from classical or French art.

Granite or Marble Backsplashes

Stone is an enormously popular type of backsplash. Those who love stone for their dream kitchen appreciate creating a rustic look with patterned formats. Water-jet borders are also quite popular. Tumbled stone is falling out of style, but many kitchen designers are adding decorative elements or tile.

Ceramic or Porcelain Backsplashes

Porcelain or ceramic is an excellent choice for kitchen backsplash tile. This type of material creates a kitchen atmosphere that is clean and crisp with its classic white. For deviations from the standard subway tile, consider crosshatch, offset, diagonal, herringbone or other patterns.

Stainless Steel Backsplash

Stainless steel is perhaps a surprising type of backsplash, but it is an excellent, eye-catching choice due to its reflectivity. Forget a flat sheet of shiny metal – luminous sophistication is a dream kitchen choice with tile, mosaic, or other patterns.

Get Creative in Your Dream Kitchen With Recycled Material Backsplashes

Recycling any of the above materials, such as glass or tile, can create an enormously unique backsplash with lots of character. Additionally, recycling materials can help you save on cost. Cork, bottle cap, recycled bottles, and more offer plenty of individualized options and can look quite elegant when well constructed.
