How to Create a Great Backsplash for Your Granite Countertops
Albert Garcia • Sep 05, 2017
Have you had beautiful granite countertops installed in your Marietta home recently? They can completely transform the look of your kitchen, making a once-dated kitchen look modern and expensive. You’ll love their beauty and functionality, too. One thing you might not love, though, is how they make your old backsplash look even older. New granite gleams in contrast to an old, dated, and worn out backsplash. That’s why so many of our customers ask us to do their backsplash at the same time! If you are considering a new backsplash to go along with the new granite countertops in your home, we have tips to help you select the best backsplash to compliment your granite and your interior decor.
Tips for Picking a Better Backsplash
Coordinate your colors.
When it comes to choosing a backsplash that goes with your granite countertops, let the countertops lead the way. You’ll want to pick a color for your backsplash that coordinates with the counters. This will create the most cohesive, polished final look. Most granites have plenty of colors to choose from inside their surface, so you shouldn’t feel too hemmed in on your choices.
Mix your materials.
Feel free to mix your materials when it comes to your backsplash! This can make the most visually interesting design. Try mixing glass, ceramic, or natural materials to create interesting textures and designs. It’s a good idea to keep it all in the same color family, but get creative with borders and designs.
Splurge wisely.
Find a beautiful piece of tile but can’t afford to use it for the entire backsplash? That’s okay! Use it as a focal point instead, and finish the rest of the kitchen off with less inexpensive, coordinating pieces. Focal points with pricier tile look especially great around the cooking area, such as above your stovetop. If that doesn’t work with your design, use the tile around a window or above your sink area.
Use good grout.
This unique granite is covered in mineral deposits, which will easily catch the eye of friends and family who take notice of its minute differentiations. Depending on the thickness of the granite you require, black pearl granite can range anywhere from $40 to $50 per square foot, making this mid-range granite an excellent choice for those looking to make their kitchen shine.
Hire a pro.
If you want the installation of your new backsplash to be as great as your granite countertops, hire a professional to do the job for you! They’ll be able to help you choose your tiles, will use the best materials, and make it all look absolutely amazing. All you have to do is enjoy the finished product!
