How to Match Your Countertops and Backsplash?

When you’re working on your kitchen or bathroom design, certain elements are natural to choose because you, most likely, had them pictured in your mind for a while, like the color of the walls or the type of appliances.
When it comes to choosing countertops and backsplash, the decisions tend to get a little more complicated. Maybe you’ve been thinking of a specific type of countertop but never considered a backsplash or vice versa. The “perfect” combination is subjective, so it will really depend on what you want and how you make it harmonious.

Kitchen backsplashStrategy #1: Neutral + Pattern or Color

This is often the go-to for many people. Having one surface that has either a neutral color or a pattern, and then one other surface that has the opposite. For instance, you could have a black granite countertop and pair it with a colored or patterned tile for the backsplash.

Strategy #2: Two Patterned Surfaces

Although this might seem like too much, if you choose wisely, the result could be incredible. If you decide to go with something like marble countertops, something like a stone mosaic could be great for a contrasting backsplash. This works particularly great with natural stones and neutral colors.

Strategy #3: Match Your Countertops to Your Backsplash

If you love the material and color of your countertops, why not extend it and create a continuation that will add visual impact?
