Backsplashes Can Add the Finishing Touch to a Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most important areas of your home – not only because you spend so much time in it, but also because upgrading your kitchen is one of the easiest ways to increase your home’s value.

If you would like to spruce up your cooking and dining space without performing an entire overhaul, you may want to consider a small upgrade like a new backsplash. Just doing that alone can transform the entire room.

A kitchen backsplash is designed to protect your kitchen walls from common kitchen liquid and food splatter. They also allow homeowners to add some style and personality to their kitchen.

A backsplash is typically installed directly behind the countertop and stove where splashes are common. The height and length of your kitchen backsplash will depend on your budget, design and overall look you want in the kitchen. Some backsplashes will only be four inches high, which protects the wall behind the countertops from water when something spills. Most backsplashes rise up to where the cabinets end. Others can go all the way to the ceiling for the full “tiled look” effect.
