Although you might not think about your kitchen backsplash very often, it can make a major difference in the way your kitchen looks. If you’ve been thinking about updating your kitchen backsplash with new materials, our team members here at The Gallery of Stone have some key words of advice for you to keep in mind.
We have over 10 years of experience in the remodeling industry, and we’ve seen it all when it comes to different types of kitchen backsplash. To get results that you’ll be sure to love for many years to come, avoid these common mistakes when choosing a new kitchen backsplash:
- Not bringing samples home — When you’re in a showroom and you find a specific kitchen backsplash that you love, you might be surprised to find out that it looks different in the sunshine, in the shade, or under your kitchen lights. Before you commit to a certain color, make sure you know how it will look in your unique space.
- Going overboard with patterns — An intricate backsplash pattern can be beautiful, but if you have a patterned countertop or multicolored cabinets, it can make your kitchen look loud and disjointed.
- Choosing the wrong grout color — Since the grout you choose will outline each tile you place, it’s crucial to choose a color that will complement the backsplash and the rest of your kitchen decor. If you’re going with a neutral tone, you might want to choose a similar grout color to maintain a consistent look. If you want a bolder aesthetic, consider choosing a dark grout color to make the lighter tones pop.
