Backsplashes:The backsplash is an essential component of the kitchen and you need to decide how you would like it to work with the elements and materials that make up the kitchen.

Size-small tiles have an understated elegance that can really dress up a space, but it is important to remember, that the smaller the tile, the more grout, making it more difficult to clean. Larger tiles are also more evergreen and universal although considerably less trendy.
