Of the all the decisions you’ll make when designing a new kitchen, your backsplash is one of the most important. As a natural focal point, the kitchen backsplash is a spot where the material can really create impact. If you’re searching for a surface that will be like a piece of art and a real showstopper, consider a solid slab backsplash.

A slab of quartz, quartzite, marble – or even porcelain – creates a really clean aesthetic that’s perfect for a more contemporary kitchen. It’s luxurious and produces a cohesive look that’s really appealing.

Beyond striking good looks, a slab backsplash can be easier to keep clean. Without the crevices of tile and grout, which is where stains tend to happen, you can keep most seamless backsplashes looking great with a spray and wipe.

As with many luxury items, a slab backsplash is a more expensive selection than tile. Stone is one of the big investments in a kitchen and it’s not less expensive if it goes on the wall instead of the counter. For a look that’s modern and timeless, there’s nothing quite like it. Your designer can help you work through the best way to incorporate a slab backsplash into your kitchen.
