But with the right installer, you can make just about any material work.”
Here are eight amazing trends for backsplash in 2017:
#1. Antique Wood Mosaic
Using antique boot wood in the form of tile with mosaic as the backsplash in the kitchen will add a different texture to the whole place and will give it a bit dark look. It does not allow moisture to stay for a long duration and it also does not need any additional substances like grout or sealant for safety purposes. It is quite trending this year. However, you must make sure to maintain the gloss of the wood properly, and you can always try the wooden backsplashes with both traditional as well as contemporary designs in your kitchen.
#2. Crackled Ceramic
