Backsplashes comes in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes. You can make your area as generic as you prefer (for example: rental properties, or sale of a home) or you can make it custom to your personal taste. The different rooms that you can apply backsplash to are most commonly kitchens and bathrooms; however, sometimes they are also used as an accent on a feature wall or fireplace. Adding backsplash to a room can open up the possibilities to add character, add colors or contrasts, and can visually enlarge or enhance a room’s look.
