Stainless steel backsplash – a sleek shine for a modern kitchen decor

A stainless steel backsplash is a very effective solution, especially in modern kitchen interiors with clean minimalist design. They give a touch of a modern urban chic and are perfect for contemporary kitchens. Like every type of material, stainless steel has its pros and cons and we will give you a quick review.

One of the greatest advantages of a stainless steel backsplash is that the material is very durable. It is considered as “neutral” and works very well with any wall or cabinets color and when used as a backspash for dark cabinets makes them pop out really well. In terms of design, the options are quite many, as the tiles are offered in a variety of unique design options and many patterns. For example, you could opt for a backsplash which is crafted as whole sheet of metal and has a shiny seamless appearance.

If you wanted a more dynamic look, you could choose tiles with added materials like glass, for example. The surface also can have a variety of different finish and this also gives a lot of design options. Besides the modern vision, these backsplashes have some practical advantages which are highly valued by the homeowners. The surface can be cleaned with the help of just some hot water, soap and a sponge. The reflective surface of the backsplash enlarges the space visually. Stainless steel does not crack and is not damaged by moisture.

On the downside we can say that installation of a stainless steel kitchen backsplash can be somewhat difficult which raises the cost. The material is easily dented and scratched and this means that your backsplash may lose its shine and condition during its lifetime. Fingerprints, grease, food stains are quite visible on it.
