Those who enjoy the design process will agree: choosing a backsplash can be the fun part.

After you’ve finished all the big decisions in a kitchen renovation: layout, wood species & door style for cabinetry,  color & type of granite or countertop, it’s time to really express yourself.

The backsplash can be the focal point of your kitchen if you choose.  It can set the tone: an arabesque shape can give the kitchen a Moroccan feel, stainless steel says ultra modern, or a stacked stone feels rustic.  S

ome choose to continue the same granite or marble on the walls as a backsplash.  Why not? It’s hard to beat the beauty of natural stone.

Here are some photos for inspiration.  Enjoy!
