Ceramic or porcelain tiles – the oldest material known to kitchen backsplash design, ceramic or porcelain tiles are highly maintainable, and vary in size, shape, color, and finish, such that there is a range of design opportunities for the one material. The smaller the tile, the more expensive it is, yet the more stylish too!
Natural stone tiles – marble and granite are the most popular natural stones for kitchen backsplash, and provide a softer look. Other unglazed natural stone tiles provide a “raw” look, which can be a unique contrast against the new age modern styles and appliances that most people opt for today.
