Kitchen Remodeling using Glass Backsplashes
One common feature that may be overlooked in the kitchen,
are backsplashes. There are dozens of options when it comes to backsplashes.
Did you know there are glass backsplashes, chalkboard backsplashes, LED-lit
backsplashes, mirrored backsplashes and even stainless steel backsplashes?
In this guest post, I will show you what’s out there in the
world of kitchen dƩcor, and what backsplashes are particularly stylish in 2012.
These colorful neon glass backsplashes really set off this
otherwise all white kitchen. The contrast between the neon and the white is
what makes the colors pop even more! The reflection of the light off the glass
backsplashes also brighten up the kitchen.
This chalkboard backsplash was created by a DIY designer,
with chalkboard paint. While most use chalkboard in kitchen dƩcor as a cute
placement for to-do or grocery lists, this designer decided to turn it into a
patterned design. At the end of the day, it’s chalk, so you can always come up
with new designs and new uses for your chalkboard backsplash. The possibilities
are endless, and it’s something one’s kids might enjoy!
Glass backsplashes with installed LED lighting will turn
heads, while still serving a valuable function. They’re perfect for that middle
of the night trip to the kitchen for a glass of water, or for dazzling guests
during a late night kitchen rendezvous!
Similarly to glass backsplashes, a mirrored backsplash
reflects light and makes one’s kitchen appear larger. This is the perfect
solution for small kitchens that receive lots of natural light. Any mirrored
surface will brighten up the kitchen and give an illusion of a larger space.

In what might be one of the coolest backsplashes in the ‘Stainless Living’ collection, this
stainless steel backsplash combines a modern design cue with the scratch
resistance of stainless steel. If you want looks coupled with durability, this
is the backsplash for you!
At the end of the day, the best backsplash for you will obviously
depend on your kitchen. Do-it-yourselfers might opt for the chalkboard
backsplash, people with dark kitchens might opt for the glass or led-lit backsplashes,
and people with small kitchens may opt for the mirrored backsplashes. Do what’s
right for your kitchen and your budget, and have fun!
