Kitchen backsplash designs can accent your kitchen and be both functional as well as beautiful. The most popular types of kitchen backsplashes are ceramic and porcelain tiles, as well as easy to clean stainless steel.

Types of Tiles
Natural Stone Tiles
The most popular natural stone tiles are marble and granite. Of the natural stones marble captures more detail than granite and since it is a softer stone it is good for applications like kitchen backsplashes.
Metal Tiles
This material can work very well for use in modern style kitchen backsplashes. The tiles can be installed as the entire surface from counter to the bottom of the cabinets. Brushed aluminum tiles are good for 1950’s retro design kitchens. Metal tiles should match the color of the faucets and lighting.
Glass Tiles
