5 Backsplashes to Add Pizzazz to the Kitchen | Pound Ridge Homes

When doing a kitchen makeover, customers want something both stylish and functional for the room that’s the heart of the home.

Adding a backsplash is a simple way to change the look of a kitchen without taking on the hassle and expense of a complete renovation. Whether the backsplash is behind the sink or stove (or both), there are designs that fit every type of kitchen.

Here are five on-trend backsplash suggestions retailers can share with kitchen-minded customers:

1. Tile It On

Pencil and checkerboard tile patterns are a couple of the many different types that can be used to liven up the kitchen. Customers also might enjoy the classic zigzag of a  subway chevron pattern to add more colors to the space. The smooth surface also makes cleaning up splatter from cooking a breeze!

2. Marbleized

A light marble backsplash looks great with bright colors like a mint green or an orange (seen here). A marble slab or tiles also are appealing when paired with a matching countertop. Marble is certainly a kitchen enhancer that doesn’t ever go out of style, as Mission Stone & Tile shows with this Calacatta pattern.
