The backsplash could be considered the most important part of your kitchen's design. No matter what material you choose, it's a focal point.

A black backsplash doesn’t have to be loud. If you’re not a fan of solid black mosaic or ceramic tile, choose a style that blends black with one or more other colors for a softer look.
