The kitchen backsplash has two roles to play in your kitchen decor. Utilitarian in design and function, the backsplash serves
as a protective covering to help in keeping food and water from becoming permanent decor elements on your walls.
As a decor and design element,
the kitchen backsplash plays a role in tying together the color palette of the various rooms in your home décor scheme.
A simple design tip is to
play your backsplash color in contrast to countertops, picking up on elements like floor or fixtures that will not change over time, rather than
appliances and accessories that are more likely to change over time.

The benefit of a kitchen backsplash is the possibility it offers by not limiting size, color, materials or shapes that can
be employed or used.
Common and current materials include porcelain or ceramic tiles, hand painted scenes or mosaics, glass or stainless
steel.
While stainless steel offers a harmonious contrast to current kitchen décor trends in appliances and accessories, brushed stainless
steel offers a slight contrast when used for the backsplash.
While these materials are more high end, they also tend to offer brighter color selections to choose from in
decorating, making your kitchen a feast for the eyes.
When it comes to cooking up a color scheme for your kitchen décor, a traditional kitchen backsplash can warm up your design, while something
a little more modern can make it sizzle.
