Tips For Choosing a Kitchen Backslash to Complement Your Cabinets

Kitchen backsplashes have come a long way since they first started being used. Originally, backsplashes were simply installed to protect your wall from food splatter. Early backsplashes were only used behind the stove but today, most kitchen backsplashes go beyond the stove and extend throughout the entire kitchen between the countertops and the cabinets. In today's kitchens, backsplashes are used for more than just food splatter and offer an added design element to your kitchen. With design in mind, you will still want to ensure that your backsplash compliments your cabinets and overall theme of your kitchen. Your favorite cabinet company at the Lake of the Ozarks have a few suggestions for you to consider.


Choose a Budget an Stick To It

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.

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. 


Choose A Pop of Color or Go Neutral? 

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. 

Replacing Your Cabinets 

If you have been considering replacing your cabinets, doing so before you add a backsplash is best. Sure, a backsplash isn't going to be an overly expensive upgrade but if you decide to replace your cabinets soon after, you will more than likely have to replace your new backsplash too. Plus, if you are wanting to change the theme of your kitchen, matching your backsplash with new kitchen cabinets is easier than trying to make something work with your outdated cabinets.
