Eleven Kitchen Backsplashes: What’s Your Favorite?
Explore 'Eleven Kitchen Backsplashes: What’s Your Favorite?', a featured story from Landis Architects and Builders showcasing innovative projects and industry insights.
A recent article (KITCHEN BACKSPLASHES GET SLEEKER in the Washington Post) addresses trends in kitchen backsplashes. Our designers agree with some of the trends noted including neutral tones and tile colors that blend with countertops. We’ve gathered eleven backsplashes we’ve installed in the past year. Seven of these 11 are in kitchens with white cabinetry which is still the most popular color – though many clients recently have gone for gray. When client opt to add color with a backsplash, it’s usually a shade of blue.
