The devil is in the details for homeowners undergoing a kitchen or bathroom remodel. Design choices you make in one part of the room can have a significant impact on other areas. The most common spots where this comes into play are your bathroom or kitchen backsplash.
The backsplash in your kitchen or bathroom can give your space added visual flair and provide a talking point for your visitors. When used correctly, these tiled pieces can elevate your space to new heights — or bring your entire aesthetic crashing down. Here are some factors to consider when you’re picking your ideal backsplash.
Choosing the Aesthetic
Your kitchens and bathroom are two of the most important and oft-visited rooms in your entire home, and these design choices matter a great deal. For most kitchens and bathrooms, you have a chosen theme running throughout the whole space. Different design choices, materials, and colors feed into that aesthetic and bring your creative vision to life.
The backsplash can become the centerpiece of the entire kitchen design if that’s how you want it set up. Additionally, it could offer needed contrast from the rest of the space to break things up and give you something different to look at. It all depends on how you want the room to look and feel.
Envisioning the Design
Now that you have a chosen aesthetic for the backsplash, you want to settle on the design. Deciding between complementary colors or something that contrasts with the rest of your design helps establish the overall visual appeal of your kitchen. If poorly chosen, the contrast could clash too heavily or melt into the background too much to be a focal point of your design.
Finding ways ahead of time to see how potential choices look in your space and how well they play off each other is crucial for a successful renovation project. Looking at swatches can only go so far. Thankfully, with Suburban Marble & Granite, we offer our customers our Virtual Kitchen service to give you a better idea of what the finished product will look like.
Choose the Surrounding Look Carefully
When you settle on a backsplash, the design is just as important as the overall look. If you wait until too late in the process, your options become drastically limited and can leave you with a sour taste in your mouth. Taking the time early in the renovation process to decide on a backsplash and build outward can help create a unique — and, more importantly — cohesive look across the board.
Take the Scale of the Tile Into Consideration
The size of each piece of tile can have a significant impact on your overall design. Smaller tile lends themselves to a more traditional mosaic tile style, while larger pieces create a more modern feel. Different-sized tiles can work with a variety of countertop materials, but you need to carefully consider how they’ll work together to create your unified vision.
