There are a million and one options out there for kitchen backsplashes, but there are some questions you'll need to ask about your design no matter which material or style you choose. Probably the most important one, in my opinion, is how and where you end the backsplash on an open wall — it may seem like a small detail, but it's an important one to get right if you want your kitchen to feel elevated and well put-together.
You'll find there's no one rule to make it work, but there is one thing you need to avoid — not making a mindful, purposeful decision with your kitchen backsplash ideas. Ending a backsplash without considering as part of the wider design, how it sits in relation to cabinets specifically, is a mistake that most interior designers know not to make. It'll leave you with a design that feels clumsy, with too many breaks between materials and less neat in its overall effect.
