The kitchen backsplash is placed on the kitchen wall between the countertops and the wall cabinets. It is meant to protect the walls, especially the zones very close to you sink, stove; places where you cook and prepare food from staining. Your backsplash will stain, but the materials from which is made, are in general very easy to clean and maintain. This is a far better option than just a bare painted wall, not to mention the backsplash aesthetic value. With colors, pattern or textures, your backsplash will improve the visual appeal of your kitchen, without difficulty and at a reasonable price. Let’s take a look at 10 backsplashes we think you would like the most.
1.Rustic kitchen backsplash from pallets.
The first project on our list features a wonderful rustic backsplash made from reclaimed wood from old shipping pallets. You can see this backsplash as a DIY opportunity, for your own kitchen, because it’s inexpensive and looks very good. If you decide to do this you will need to find some good boards from old pallets and cut them into a bunch of pieces with similar size and scrub them clean, but for that, you can see more guides at Contractor Culture.
If you’re skillful you can play with the design by staining the boards. After you have decided upon the configuration stick the individual boards on the wall using liquid nails. I can guarantee you a really authentic rustic look, as well as a great texture for the wall.{found on circadee}.

There are many ways to make backsplashes from wine corks, the simplest one is to glue the corks on a board and then place the board on the your kitchen wall. The question is not what kind of board to use or how to place it on the wall, but where to get all those wine corks if you already have thrown yours away.

A more dramatic approach for a kitchen backsplash can be this idea presented here. The amount of texture this project creates is amazing. The eye-catching stacked pebbles fit wonderfully in the natural lakeside style of this kitchen. If you want to do a thing like thins on your own and most of all you want it to look exactly like this one, you should know that here there were used only rocks with the roughly the same size and more important, if you want to keep the true natural aspect you should not grout the pebbles.

6.Mirror backsplash
If you are the proud owner of a small apartment that has a small kitchen, fear not because there are incredible simple solutions to make it look good as well as functional.

9.Stone kitchen backsplash
This next backsplash resembles a little bit the one mentioned earlier; the only things differentiating them are the stones and the technique. These little stones cost around $2.50 per square foot so expensive is out of the question. If you want to do this or something similar you should know that is not very much to do; just stick the stones ( thy will probably come in square tiles) and then apply the grout. This part is a little bit tricky and you will need to be very attentive to carefully smooth the grout over the entire surface; globbing it on and smearing it around should work as well. Voila, the garden stone kitchen backsplash is ready.{found on homestoriesatoz}.
10.Calckboard kitchen backsplash
We have treated the chalkboard paint ideas here before and if I remember correctly we spoke about this particular idea as well. The reason why this can be a great backsplash is because you can write everyday funny messages, or draw funny faces, even write recipes. This particularly pattern you see in this images brings a certain alternation between light and dark. The contrast from this chevron chalkboard backsplash is a wonderful visual combination of hand-drawn irregularities and repetition of a continuous pattern. As you can imagine the project is simple and has great advantages; if you get water on the design, don’t worry. You can simply redraw it or start a new one. Isn’t it fun?{found ondesignsponge}.
