Backsplashes in Kitchen Fixtures and Materials(1000+)

What kind of backsplash material is easiest to maintain?

When sealed properly, stone and ceramic tiles are durable and easy to clean with a sponge and water. Vinyl tiles like those used on floors resist staining and require basic cleaning with the same solution you use for countertops. You also don't have to worry about cleaning grout.

How do I choose a backsplash?

Limit your search to specific materials or certain manufacturers. Knowing the colors and materials you prefer helps you choose the tiles you love.

Color: For subtlety, choose a neutral white or ivory shade, or select a color that matches existing cabinets and walls. For contrast, opt for bright colors or a mosaic that stands out.

Material: If you enjoy a natural look, consider limestone pavers. Aluminum and copper look great in modern kitchens, while glazed ceramic is traditional. To save money, opt for affordable vinyl or peel-and-stick reusable tiles that look like mosaic or stone.
