The most important question to ask yourself when choosing a stove backsplash is how frequently you cook or plan on cooking in your new kitchen. If you consider yourself an amateur chef and plan to cook up creative cuisine each week, you will want to go with a material that holds up against a lot of spills. You should also keep in mind that your materials should be easy to clean and durable for everyday use. If you are simply choosing a stove backsplash for the aesthetic, you may open yourself up to more options and materials like marble and natural stone. As long as you implement a regular cleaning schedule to wipe down the area and use a strong sealant after the initial application, you should experience no problems with the longevity of your backsplash!

Before selecting a stove backsplash, you should consider your kitchen’s overall layout and design and determine whether you would like the backsplash to help highlight or conceal your stove. You can easily hide your stove by using a continuation of backsplash from other areas of the kitchen, or you can make it a focal point of your entire room if you have invested in top-of-the-line appliances and are ready to show them off. If so, our experts at Southwestern Remodeling, the choice for your next kitchen remodel in Wichita, recommend selecting a colorful and eye-catching tile design!

If you’re on the market for a new stove backsplash and would prefer a solution that doesn’t require frequent maintenance or replacement, our team recommends prioritizing durability and investing in a long-term solution. While inexpensive options such as stick-on or faux-finish vinyl tiles can become appealing at first, they will likely peel away from the wall or begin melting when met with constant heat and steam. To ensure that your finishings will stand the test of time and remain stain-resistant, always opt for materials that have been heat-tested and are water-sealed. This way, you can avoid replacing your backsplash regularly due to damage and absorbed odors.

It’s no secret that you can do many creative things when designing your kitchen remodel, specifically with ceramic tile backsplashes. Perhaps you have always dreamed of adorning your stove backsplash with the monogram of your family crest? Or maybe you love the looks of large accent tiles and medallions. No matter your vision, our team at Southwestern Remodeling, can help provide you with a custom backsplash that seamlessly blends with the rest of the kitchen and matches your personal preferences. With this in mind, your stove backsplash should not sacrifice function for aesthetics, so our experts will ensure that you choose the most practical, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing option for your kitchen!
