Backsplashes are an expanse of material that typically fills the gaps on a kitchen or bathroom wall between cabinets and a countertop, spanning the length of the countertop. Traditionally, these have ranged from small patches of backsplash that stretch above farmhouse sinks to the pre-2000s mosaic-style backsplashes that were often meant to match kitchen flooring.  Done well, today’s tile backsplashes are a brilliant accent to one of the most trafficked rooms of the household, rounding out the space with interesting textures, colors, and design patterns. Ideally, they can be installed simultaneously with the countertop, but can become a professional or do-it-yourself project at any time.
