Wallpaper Backsplash
Many people think they need to avoid wallpaper in the kitchen because it might get dirty or start to smell, but wallpaper has come a long way! You can find many wallpaper options that are vinyl and have a barrier against moisture, there are also some that are washable for easier cleaning. We love the way a patterned or floral wallpaper makes a design come alive!
Window Backsplash
Let the light in with a window backsplash! We all want more natural light in our homes but when it comes to a kitchen, every inch is important and accounted for. Most of the space has to be used for cabinets, appliances and storage; but with a window backsplash you can get all the light without wasting your valuable square footage. The look is bright and beautiful!
