Types of Backsplash Materials

Choosing the right backsplash can give your kitchen a one-of-a-kind look, and for some options, it can be an easy DIY project. Learn about the different types of backsplash materials in this video by The Home Depot:

Wood gives a cottage or beachy feel. Beadboard is affordable and commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms. Painted plywood is an affordable alternative.

Wallpaper comes in a variety of designs and colors and is durable and easy to install. Peel-and-stick wallpaper can be easily switched out. Chalkboard wallpaper can be written on.

Stone comes in a wide variety of colors that complement your decor. Warmer-coloerd stones give a calm European look, while cooler-colored stones give a minimalist feel.

Tile is easy to install. It is one of the most common materials for backsplashes and is available in mosaic, pattern and solid styles. Options include classic subway tile and faux stone and brick.

Marble adds elegance and character to your backsplash and complements other marble features like countertops or sinks. It is available in slabs, tile or patterned motifs.
