Backsplash in a Flash

Pressed for time? Here are some great backsplash solutions to get you out of the kitchen renovation doldrums and onto project completion. Learn how to make a backsplash in a flash in this HGTV video:

Tin Time: If you like the look of stainless steel but don’t have the time or budget for a custom fabrication job, try tin ceiling tiles. A tin-tiled backsplash is a do-it-yourself project you can finish in an afternoon with just a few common tools. The lightweight tin is easy to trim for a snug fit around any wall obstacles, and since they’re lightweight, there’s no need to go in search for a stud. Just tack them up to any wall or just use construction adhesive. Tin tiles are a fraction of the cost of stainless steel but shine with style.

Simply Floored: Another quick and colorful backsplash solution is linoleum floor tiles. Linoleum is easy to trim and install, plus it creates a heat-resistant and stain proof backsplash in an instant.

Ready to Hang: If it’s a sleek designer look you’re after, you might find the right fit with a ready-to-hang (peel-and-stick) backsplash. Peel-and-stick backsplashes can be hung with just a little construction adhesive and double-sided tape. They come in several styles, including two-tone hand etched panels for a fine finishing in any kitchen, and with pre-assembled ready-to-hang tile backsplashes, you can snap the style of a tile mural into your kitchen in just minutes.

Handy Backsplash: Feeling handy? The small area of a backsplash can be the perfect canvas to create your own work of art. You can make your own backsplash in a day with easy-to-use sheeted tiles to create a beautiful and unique design.

Mosaic Magic: Sheeted mosaic tiles can also turn tiling an entire backsplash area into a simple project. Mosaic tiles come in square foot sheets pre-designed in blended color palettes and pre-spaced for grout. Because the tiles are small, the mosaic can be quickly trimmed to fit around your backsplash dimensions and electrical outlets. With a wide range of colors and patterns and sheeted mosaic tiles, the small backsplash area can quickly and affordably become a stunning focal point in your kitchen.
