Use a Backsplash to Complement Your Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen backsplashes were originally designed to protect the walls from food that might splatter up onto it, but today many people also use this home feature to add a decorative touch to the overall look of the room. Even if you want to make your backsplash stand out as a focal point, it still needs to work cohesively with the cabinets and other elements in your kitchen. Our Lake of the Ozarks cabinet store has a few helpful suggestions to help you achieve a look that you love.  


Choose Material with Style in Mind
The material used for your kitchen backsplash needs to be cohesive with the look and feel of the rest of the room. This particular home accent can set the tone for the overall kitchen design. Metallic and shiny materials fit nicely in a modern kitchen, but if you are going for a more rustic look, steer toward natural material like stone.  

Color - Go Bold or Blend In?
A backsplash gives you the opportunity to add a pop of color or bold design, or you can choose to stick with a neutral shade that better blends in with the kitchen cabinets and the rest of the room. Neutral tiles lend to a cleaner, timeless look that will stand the test of time. If you choose to go a bit bolder with your backsplash, make sure that the colors or patterns you use work well with everything else in the room.  


Decide on a Budget
Even though your backsplash may seem like a small part of the kitchen you are designing, if you aren't careful that "small" thing can turn into a huge price tag. If you happen to fall in love with a particularly pricey tile, consider using a less expensive tile that works well with it for the majority of the room and save the more expensive tile for a smaller accent section on the main part of the backsplash.
