One of the top recommendations for adding value to your house is a kitchen upgrade, but you don't have to spend a lot of time or money on it. If you want to refresh your kitchen but can't afford a full-scale remodel, a smart place to start is with tiling a backsplash, which only takes a weekend and can cost as little as $5 per square foot. You can switch out a backsplash without moving cabinetry or appliances, and the sky's the limit in terms of material choices, colors, and patterns. You don't have to go for the expensive tile backsplash either , try something simple and inexpensive like tin ceiling tiles, or wooden beadboard, wallpaper, stainless steel, chalkboard or magnetic paint. If your kitchen currently only has bare walls, you'll also delight in the easy clean-up a smart backsplash provides.

Kitchen backsplashes no longer simply protect walls from spills and splatters, a wide array of eye-catching materials like glass, wood, metals and stone make the backsplash the focal point of today's kitchens. Whether your dream kitchen is rustic and cozy or modern and sleek, a unique backsplash tile design is a remarkable way to transform your kitchen.
