How to Pick the Right Mosaic for Your Kitchen Backsplash

If you’re ready to update your existing kitchen or if you’re starting from scratch, consider using a backsplash mosaic tiles.

Mosaic tiles have been around for ages and can be seen making a statement in entryways, bathrooms, and now, used as backsplash.

For all those who are new to interior design and may not know what a backsplash is, it’s the panel above your counters and behind your sink or stove that protects the wall from splashes.

Now, back to designing, when it comes to how much mosaic tile you’re going to need, you will need to know how much surface area you’re looking to cover. You can choose to cover up the space between the counter and the cabinet for or take the tile from the counters to the ceiling.
