Choosing the “perfect” kitchen backsplash is often one of the most challenging tasks in a kitchen renovation.

This detailed Houzz article identifies the top 10 kitchen backsplash material choices on the market. Stainless steel, glass tiles, stone slabs, and even mirrors to add “feng shui” to your space. Each material has its pros and cons so it’s important to get the right advice. Matching the right look and the proper function ensures that your kitchen backsplash will be a well-chosen element for the long term.

Backsplash Options:
- A full slab of stone, a popular choice, creates a cohesive look between the cabinets. It is also easy to clean since there is minimal grout. Good stone protection is key, but this can be as simple as wiping on a high-quality stone sealer.
- Subway tile remains a popular choice for its clean aesthetic. Ranging from very low cost to expensive custom pieces, subway tile will continue to be a fail-safe option in kitchens and baths.
- A mirrored insert in your backsplash is a departure from the ordinary– plus it is practical, economical, and looks great. Reflecting back into the room gives a sense of depth to your space. Keeping your eyes on little ones behind you is a handy Mom-trick. And creating good feng shui in your kitchen is always a good thing!
