Create a Gorgeous Backsplash

-

Backsplash­es with intricate patterns, bold colors and eye-catching materials have become popular, like the stunning floral-inspired backsplash in this kitchen. If you’d love to create a backsplash with personalit­y, Pamela shares the steps to make it a reality.

1. “I like to tell my clients to ‘fall in love with something.’ That can be a slab, a faucet, a sink or a burgundy range. From there, you can pull design inspiratio­n.”

2. “Look for a tile that blends in character with the item you love. For example, if it’s a classic-looking piece, then you wouldn’t choose a modern tile.”

3. “Next, pull in subtle colors or details that you love for repetition, but don’t overpower other pieces. In the case of this kitchen, we needed the burgundy from the range to be represente­d, but lightly.”
