Kitchen Backsplash 101

How to Pick the Right Mosaic for Your Kitchen Backsplash

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

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

For those new to interior design who may need to learn what a backsplash is, the panel above your counters and behind your sink or stove protects the wall from splashes.

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

Once you decide where the backsplash will start and stop, you simply need to mark off the area and measure the square footage to determine the amount of tile you need to buy. If the thought of that scares you, don't worry. Send us a message on our Facebook page, and we will be more than happy to help you determine how much tile you are going to need.
