If you’re looking for a kitchen remodeling project that is value-conscious but can have a big impact on your kitchen’s appeal, then a new backsplash might be the answer. Backsplashes are affordable and they are quick and easy to install for trained professionals. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, one of the top kitchen remodelers in our local area, has tips to help you choose your new backsplash.

Choosing the Right Material

Backsplash tiles are manufactured from a wide range of materials including marble, porcelain, glass, pressed tin and more. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a material. First, choose a material that is timeless and not likely to go out of style. You don’t want to be stuck with a backsplash you don’t like after a few years. Next, be honest about how much maintenance you are willing to perform. Different materials have different maintenance requirements.

Don’t Forget the Grout

Grout is often an afterthought, even though it’s an important part of any backsplash. The grout locks the tiles in place and gives the backsplash a finished look. Grout also plays an important part in the backsplash’s design, so experiment with different tile and grout combinations. For example, a dark grout that’s used with white tiles can have a striking appearance.

Match Your Backsplash to Your Countertops

Your countertops often dictate the backsplash style and color you’ll use for your kitchen remodeling project. A backsplash that complements your kitchen’s countertops looks wonderful. Consider using your backsplash as your kitchen’s focal point. Play around with color and pattern.
