Remodeling your kitchen is a great way to update your home with a new theme or trend. Choosing your design involves selecting colors, patterns, and textures like wood or marble and whether to follow a specific interior decorator or customize your ideas.
Before you take the plunge in replacing your backsplash to match your quartz countertop, there are some fantastic fashion ideas and trends to consider for your home.
Let’s take a look at the best backsplashes for quartz countertops.
Vintage Designs
A look of nostalgia is a beautiful way to add a unique appearance to your kitchen. Vintage styles range from mosaic tiles and Gatsby-style designs from the early 20th century to oxidized copper, floral patterns, and marbleized surfaces. There are infinite options for tile sizes, colors, and patterns to match your quartz countertop.
The Classic Look
Choosing a simple, neutral theme is a safe option when you already have a theme in your kitchen that you want to maintain. Classic designs are ideal for a budget-friendly option, and they are available in various styles, from solid, neutral colors to simple designs. Classic and contemporary designs give your kitchen a refreshed upgrade without a drastic change.
Contrasting or Matching?
If you’re looking for a bold statement, you can opt to contrast the backsplash with your countertop. This option may follow a specific trend or provide an opportunity to create your design. If you decide to match your quartz countertop, it’s best to obtain a few samples of tiles or backsplash designs to ensure the color or pattern works with your scheme.
An All-white Backsplash
Choosing an all-white set of tiles for your backsplash can make other colors and patterns in your kitchen “pop” while providing a neutral background. If your kitchen is all white, this option offers a uniform design.
A Modern Look
A dark-gray or black backsplash offers a nice, modern touch in your kitchen. If you have a quartz countertop of the same or similar color, the pairing provides a sleek, stylish appearance for your space.
Tips and Suggestions for Choosing Your Backsplash
Whether you choose a glass finish, tiles, or other materials for your backsplash, it’s ideal for preparing ahead before going shopping to begin your project:
- Consider your budget and determine how much you can spend on all the materials. Once you have a price range in mind, you’ll know which brands and options are available to you.
- Ensure that the tiles or material you choose for your backsplash are easy to maintain, so you can avoid stains and wear. A smooth or shiny surface can significantly enhance your kitchen’s appearance, with a surface that’s easy to wipe down.
- Measure the size of your space, as this will impact your budget and design options. If you have a relatively small kitchen, you may have more flexibility to invest in a more expensive backsplash than you think.
- Do you want your backsplash to stand out or blend in? Detailed, intricate designs and bold colors are ideal for making your space unique and artistic.
- Blending your backsplash into your existing design is another way to match your countertop with neutral, muted tones and patterns.
If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, you’ll want to consider making a significant investment in your backsplash so that you can enjoy your space for cooking and food preparation. Opting for a simple, hassle-free design is ideal if you prefer the minimalist look and limit the time you spend in your kitchen.
