Color

There are several things to consider when it comes to picking the backsplash color. It is majorly dependent on the color you have picked when it comes to your counter tops. If you haven’t gone that far yet, then you’ll need to just start with picking a main color and two accent colors. There are several different color combinations to choose from but make sure that you choose one that is still going to look good in a couple of years. Styles vary and that is a personal preference on which way you’d like to go with the look in your kitchen.

On A Budget

When you’re on a budget there is no changing the number, you’re working with. But what you can change is your wants. This means that you might not get the exact size or texture you’re wanting but you’ll be in your budget. Will you be ok with that? Figuring out what you’re willing to compromise on before you go tile shopping is important. You will know exactly what you’re looking at and what you’re willing to compromise on.

Common Mistakes

Remember your tile thickness and your decorative tile thickness. Your primary tile should be thinner than your decorative tile. Order all your trim pieces in the same batch so that they are the same glaze and thickness. And ask if the tile you want is even in stock. It can be discouraging when you’ve ordered something only to find out it is going to be weeks before you get it.
