Installing a backsplash is the best way of enhancing the beauty of your kitchen and adding value to the home. It provides a unique look and ambiance to the otherwise plain and boring kitchen. If you’d like to be more inspired to cook for your family, then adding a tile backsplash is definitely the way to go today.

A kitchen backsplash can be made from various materials depending on your preference but the most widely used these days are the tiles. You may think that tiles are good only for the floors but they actually have many uses and they can be installed on your kitchen walls as well.

A popular way of creating an attractive and dramatic backsplash is to use certain patterns. There are just so many pattern ideas available to homeowners today. However, if you want to have a hand in the designing aspect, you can always come up with your own pattern.

Backsplash tile patterns evoke drama in your kitchen. They can be created using different sizes and colors of tiles. They can be installed in straight lines or diagonally and they can cover the entire span of the area above your countertops. Another way is by installing the tile patterns only above the cooking range to create a lovely focal point in your kitchen.

The mix and match style is the key to creating a dramatic backsplash tile pattern. This entails using medium and small small-sized sized tiles in various colors. You can choose to use only complementary colors or a rainbow of colors to achieve a vibrant atmosphere in your kitchen.

The patterns can be installed as borders or incorporated as an accent in the entire design of the backsplash. You can create a pattern using, rectangular and diamond shapes. To achieve the diamond effect, install the tiles diagonally.

Tiles are in great supply today. With so many types of tiles, sizes, colors, textures, and designs you can choose from, you have the freedom to create a pattern in the way that you want or based on pattern designs that you like from a magazine or from a particular website. Examples of tiles you can use for the backsplash are ceramic, granite, stainless steel, travertine, marble, tin, metal, and subway tiles.

Unlike a plain painted wall or using only wallpaper in your kitchen, a tile backsplash can last for a long time. What’s even great about this is it requires little maintenance. As it’s waterproof, you only need to wipe the dirt, grease and grind that sticks on the tiles with a soft cloth and they’ll retain their natural glow to keep your favorite kitchen as beautiful as ever.

Homeowners very particular about cleanliness should choose the glazed tile backsplash if possible. With the glazed type of tiles, dirt and grease can easily be washed away. The reason behind this is the glass coating on the tile surface which makes it easy to clean and which allows the material to maintain its shiny appearance.

So before going to the store or before ordering your tiles online, make sure you have made a firm decision on the particular pattern you will install on your kitchen wall.
