designing the perfect backsplash

So what exactly is a backsplash?


The term "backsplash" is used to define the vertical portion at the rear of a countertop. Today, the term "backsplash" is SO MUCH MORE!. A backsplash is essentially a blank canvas where homeowners can create an element which ties the entire room together or makes a statement that becomes a focal point in the room. The backsplash can often be the most difficult selection to make with the most reward!
