The kitchen is the heart of the home, and remodeling the space gives you a unique opportunity to add your personality to it. As you plan this home improvement project, you’ll have a lot of decisions to make. One often overlooked but significant part of your new kitchen is the backsplash; this area serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, so get creative with it for the best results. The team at Olson Construction in La Crosse, WI, has created some beautiful kitchens with unique backsplashes and has shared a few of their favorite ideas below.

Here are a few ways to make your home improvement project unique to you:

• Go Neutral: Neutral colors are a popular choice for modern spaces these days, and a neutral palette allows you to add a pop of color with appliances or décor. Try painting your new cabinets gray, and add an attractive mosaic glass or stone tile backsplash to complement it. Pick a few colors you like in the white, gray, or beige range, and you’ll have an interesting, modern backdrop. Complete the look with a white marble, travertine, or granite countertop.
• Match Your Hardware: If you prefer more contrast in your kitchen remodel, you can make your backsplash stand out while still tying it into the overall color scheme. Paint your cabinets a beautiful white with darker pulls and matching faucets. Rubbed bronze is perfect for a classic look, while black slate gives a more modern appearance. Use that hardware color as the darkest shade in the color scheme for your mosaic glass tile backsplash.
• Country Chic: Wooden cabinetry is a classic look that will never go out of style. Give it your own contemporary twist with a more modern backsplash. A matte off-white tile backsplash will stand out while drawing attention to your beautiful cabinets. Bring it all together with a black countertop.

No matter what your style is, you can find an attractive look for your new kitchen that will make a splash and allow your personality to shine through.
