Kitchen Backsplash Ideas | What Are Your Options?

We discussed mirrored backsplash in a new house because there was a nice view behind the work area. A family member pointed out that everything on the counter is reflected—including any prep and cleanup! Good thought! I’m not THAT neat so went for tile with no regrets.

I love your content. I’m in Australia and last week a kitchen designer reco Dekton but I saw Mark Tobins video on how it shattered. Anyway the research of pros and cons for countertop materials continues and I liked your comments on trends eg the move away from glass and stainless steel for backsplashes. Very useful. Have a great day!

Used to have wooden countertop and white tiles backsplash at my old home. The grouts stains were so bad and oil residue smells always seem to linger. Upkeeping was a disaster. We just moved to our new place last year. Installed black quartz with black mirror backsplash. So far so good. A simple wipe down is enough to keep everything pristine.

I had a glass backsplash in my last house, never again! It was a pig to keep clean of smears and like the pristine condition in a the showroom. Thanks for a great video 👍🏼

I have done kitchens where I've first set the backsplash at 1/8" above the countertop height. The cabinets are installed and the countertop slides in behind the backsplash. It's also easier to install the backsplash without the cabinets in the way. It's a nice detail and saves on scribing the back edge of the countertops to the backsplash.

We had 3cm quartz installed for counter and back. Looks great and is seamless.

We used decorative stamped tin ceiling panels for the back splash and it looks great and is very unique

This video is so helpful. We have put off backsplash as long as we could and have to put something at least behind our stove. Because I'm older, I was concerned with cleaning the backsplash. I think the large piece of stainless steel behind the stove works better for me. We still may add some pretty backsplash to each side, but behind the stove is where the grease splatters most. I'm also going to study a little more on it as to which backsplash is easiest to clean. We don't really won't glass but I'll check my options. Thanks so much for this wonderful information❣😀😍

I have glass where I’m living now (a rental) but I’ve just bought a place and am thinking of renovating. I think I’d go glass again it’s so easy to clean no grout cracks to scrub and I also use it as a bit of a whiteboard shopping list - just write on it with a whiteboard market and it comes right off when you wipe with a cloth

I love your videos. They are thorough to the point with good and bad points highlighted 😊

Great video, comprehensive and informative. I’m with you on the grout issue and was thrilled to get rid of my tiles. Houzz really helped me decide what to go for- you can filter kitchen pics by backsplash material and colour. The trend for matching worktop and backsplash looks elegant but feels a bit claustrophobic to me- boxed in, like there’s no horizon… I went with stainless steel in the end and love the way it reflects light. Not a budget option though if you need multiple custom pieces with socket cut-outs.

I have literally been waiting for a video like this. It's hard to know where to start in planning a new kitchen and I want to plan for everything to look cohesive.

Definitely matching the counters!

Great work you're doing here! Tons of great concepts and ideas!

Great and detailed information, thank you so much!

I love colored glass. With under cabinet lighting it sparkles and adds so much dimension.

Very informative… thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise with us 💕💕

Thank you. Been watching all your videos. You are so informative and get right to the point. Appreciate that greatly. Very valuable content..

Great video! Backsplashback is the correct term I believe! lol. This is the next thing Amy and I plan on doing. I'm leaning toward herring bone, with some sort of marble look. We'll see.

Thankyou for your information. Love watching your videos....they give me lots of ideas for my new kitchen.
