Keeping your kitchen clean is difficult at the best of times. From the dishes piling up in the sink to the floor becoming a breeding ground for crumbs and spills, it’s enough to drive anyone crazy.
Add in the concern of your walls getting stained while cooking and you’re ready for a full-on meltdown. Luckily, there’s a simple way to avoid this. Enter the backsplash wall – a space that looks great but also acts as an easy-to-clean alternative to wallpaper or paint for walls that join with your cooking spaces.
There are plenty of options to choose from. For those who are looking to use tile, there are a number of shapes, sizes and materials out there. For individuals who want a simpler look, there’s the option of using a single sheet of glass with a coat of paint on the back. And for kitchens with tongue-and-groove siding, why not give the marble option a try? Simply place a shapely piece of marble over the siding. Finally, those with smaller kitchens should try using one colour, with a clean-lined tile (tile that is stacked one on top of another, going in the same direction), for a simple, uncluttered look.
