There are plenty of fantastic options when it comes to selecting a backsplash for your kitchen. Tile is a classic and timeless choice, but what if you are looking for something a little more modern and different? Or maybe the thought of cleaning all that grout makes you cringe? Glass backsplashes are a unique choice that open up a whole world of design possibilities.

Painted Glass Backsplashes

Painting the back of glass creates a beautiful depth and glow to your chosen color. Simply painting a wall in the same color won’t achieve anywhere near the same effect. You can stick to a solid color or try experimenting with faux paints and glazes for a truly one of a kind backsplash.

Are you afraid that a glass backsplash won’t work with your more traditional kitchen? The sage green color of this backsplash softens the glass’ modern edge creating a playful twist on the classic all white kitchen.

Do you love the look of wallpaper, but worry that grease and food splatters make it incompatible with your kitchen? Glass layered over wallpaper is the perfect way to get your pattern fix without the headache of trying to keep that expensive paper safe. Wallpaper has made a serious comeback in recent years, so this is a great way to experiment with this trend.
