TIPS AND TRICKS OF THE TRADE: BACKSPLASHES





As a small area of the entire kitchen, the backsplash has enormous impact.  This is because this rather narrow strip of surface is situated at about eye level, where a person’s visual orientation is comfortably set.   Therefore, it’s really important that great thought and care go into choosing the proper application.  While there are many surfaces from which to choose - marble, granite, glass, paper, paint, wood, mirror - the backsplash needs to make a statement.  If you love color, here is the place to add it!  Should you like to be whimsical and / or inventive, this eye-catching location is perfect.  One can even mix colors and finishes, i.e. wood in stone.  The backsplash doesn’t even have to necessarily relate to the other materials used in the kitchen, as long as it is proportionally correct.  This is where you get great return on your investment.
