Should You Update Your Backsplash?

---

Hi, I am Christina Swain with The Swain Team.  Minor kitchen updates are notorious for giving you a great bang for your buck.  As an expert realtor I can advise you on simple updates that will enhance your home’s value but won’t break the bank.  Let’s talk today about updating your kitchen backsplash.

Updating your kitchen backsplash is one of the easiest and cost-effective ways to give a new look to your old kitchen. It is also the first area that should get your attention when renovating your kitchen because no renovation is complete without a new Backsplash and it is the most used/abused area of the kitchen. From spilled food to hot oil splashes, the backsplash takes it all and complains little.

When updating your kitchen backsplash, consider whether you want to incorporate new changes to the material or re-do the existing design. If you are short on time and money, consider a simple coat of paint. This way, you can incorporate a variety of styles depending on your existing material or simply add a shade. If you are artistically inclined, use a stencil to create a design in a secondary accent color. Different kitchen backsplash ideas might be enough if you can’t afford a complete renovation.
