There are many materials which are appropriate for kitchen backsplashes.  Glass, ceramic, stone, stainless, the list is endless.  Make sure the material you use directly behind your stove can withstand the heat variations that occur when cooking.

A Backsplash is Part of a Beautiful Kitchen Design

A popular trend is to use a unique design directly behind the stove and have a complimentary material run in the surrounding wall area between your top and bottom kitchen cabinets.

Double L Kitchen Design Doubles Your Work Space

The regular L shaped kitchen contains a long counter top space border by a projecting shorter one.  The double L format places a second and, usually smaller, L shape inside the larger one.  This dramatically increases countertop and cabinet space.

Add an Extra Sink, Stove or Cooktop

This is a great layout if you need a second sink or an additional stove or cooktop .  The additional countertop space will provide plenty of room for all the cooks to work.  Take advantage of the added benefits of having a double L shaped kitchen by incorporating the style in your kitchen remodeling project.

Hang Artwork on Your Kitchen Walls

Who said kitchen walls have to be bare? Adding some of your favorite pieces of art and photos are another way to customize your kitchen.

Use Kitchen Cabinets and Kitchen Countertops as a Display

Some of your collectibles can be displayed in your kitchen. You can feature your favorite bottles of wine on top of your kitchen cabinets or a cookbook collection right on your kitchen countertops .

Make Your Kitchen Look Larger with Light

To give your kitchen the illusion of being larger, make the most of any type of lighting available to you. Natural light is awesome – keep the shades up and the curtains open – or don’t have any at all.

Add under-counter lights, place decorative pendant lights above your sink and other prep areas.

Choose the Right Color Scheme

Paint your walls in the lightest hue of your favorite color to give your room an open airy feeling. Accent your kitchen with objects  that make your kitchen pop with splashes of your favorite bolder colors.

Use Tile for More Than Backsplashes

The old adage of “it’s the small things that matter” pertains to the design world as well.  Tile can make a huge difference in the end result of your kitchen remodel. Some people tend to think only of the kitchen backsplash when using tile patterns or different materials such as glass, travertine, or marble.

Create Interesting Tile Patterns in Kitchen Floors and Walls

Consider using these materials on the floor in varying patterns or across the entire wall area between your cabinets and countertop.  Don’t miss the opportunity to make a unique design using creative tile patterns or materials.  Think outside the box for the wall and flooring areas of your kitchen to create a design using tile to make your kitchen remodel really pop.

DirectBuy offers many types of tile for your kitchen remodeling projects to help you create a unique look and style. With manufacturer-direct wholesale prices you can end up with a beautiful kitchen and save up to 50% off retail prices.
