The good thing about installing concrete counters during a kitchen remodel is that you open your kitchen up to a world of possibilities when it comes to selecting backsplash materials. Having a variety to choose from will allow you to express yourself creatively, and truly make your kitchen your own. NV Kitchen and Bath has outlined some of the best backsplashes that go well with concrete counters in the kitchen.
- Concrete backsplashes
Sounds a bit too much concrete in the kitchen, but you will be amazed that concrete counters and backsplashes go together. Extending the concrete from the counter to the backsplash creates a seamless and organized look.
2. Brick backsplashes
Another tremendous fit for concrete counters is a brick backsplash. These materials go together because they both exude an industrial/warehouse vibe, which adds character to the kitchen.
3. Glass mosaic backsplashes
You can accessorize the concrete countertops with recycled glass to create a unique countertop. You can then use a glass mosaic backsplash to accentuate the counter’s glinting aspects further.
4. Going without backsplash
Another popular option for homeowners who settle on concrete counters is to go without a backsplash. This is a favorite amongst minimalists, and going backsplash-less makes the strong concrete counters really stand out. The concrete counters become the main focal point in the kitchen, which allows them to show off their immense strength and character.
5. Subway tile
To achieve the ultimate industrial look, you should definitely consider pairing your concrete kitchen counters with a subway-tiled backsplash. This pairing works perfectly in Victorian kitchens as well as contemporary ones. For easier maintenance, and a truly authentic industrial look, go for slightly darker white tile with grayish-grout. The gray grout is much easier to clean than actual white grout lines.
