Blending Backsplashes

September 26, 2024
You can use two colors, styles, materials, or patterns for your kitchen backsplash. Most of the time, it’s located above the stove. So, the stove area would have one style, and the rest would have another style. Combine that with countersplash, and you have a unique design style.

Countersplash

It provides for easy cleanup, and it’s much easier than trying to coordinate a different backsplash!!
