The backsplash occupies a unique position in kitchen design. It is the vertical surface you face while cooking.

The first decision is whether to use a slab backsplash or a tile backsplash.

Tile backsplashes offer a different set of advantages: pattern, texture, and scale variation.

When choosing a backsplash to complement your countertop, consider the principle of contrast and harmony.

Color temperature alignment matters more than exact color matching.

The area behind the range deserves special attention for heat and grease exposure.

At Bay Stone Depot, we display dozens of backsplash configurations.
