Some people opt for solid colored backslashes. This is helpful when there are already a lot of other themes going on in the kitchen, or when you want to match it with other already existing designs in the room such as your dining room table or the kitchen island and its barstools.

An unconventional way to make your backsplash pop is by doing absolutely nothing to it. That’s right, paint everything but the backsplash. This works best when the backsplash is a light color and a darker color surrounds it, but can also be used with brighter colors as well.
