Tips for Choosing a Backsplash Color

May 29, 2020

As a customer-focused Gulfport Mississippi new home builder, Acadian Homes gives you the opportunity to personalize your new home with colors and finishes that reflect your style.

One of the questions we often get is how to choose a color for the kitchen backsplash. This important design element can have a big impact on the appearance of your kitchen. Depending on the material and colors chosen, a backsplash can recede into the background or stand out as a dramatic feature. Picking the right color will ensure you’ll be happy with your choice for years to come.

Ask yourself these questions to help make the decision easier:

• What’s your style? Is it minimalist, traditional, retro or trendy? Plain white subway tile is about as minimal as you can get. Multiple hues of glass tile in a dramatic pattern will be trendy and eye-catching.
• How much contrast do you want? Dark gray cabinets will stand out against a white backsplash. Medium-tone wood cabinets will blend in with earth-tone tiles. Consider the wall color, cabinets, countertops and flooring when visualizing the final result.
• Do you expect to change the color of your cabinets in the future? If so, stick with a white backsplash.
