In the kitchen there aren’t many elements that have the possibility of becoming focal points. Usually the walls are painted in a neutral color, sometimes with an accent wall, the furniture has a uniform look throughout and the appliances also share similar characteristics. Among the elements that usually stand out we could mention the hardware, the lighting fixtures and the backsplash.

In the kitchen, the backsplash is a must-have. And since it’s not really optional, most of the time people choose to turn it into a multifunctional element that also serves as a decorative detail. There are many options that you can choose for the backsplash.

A brightly-colored backsplash would stand out with its bold color and an artistic backsplash would impress on a different level. But if you want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the kitchen, a brick backsplash is a wonderful idea. The texture and pattern are simple and very popular and a brick backsplash would manage to make the kitchen feel cozy and inviting.

A brick backsplash is a relatively simple detail and tends to have an industrial feel. So to make it integrate beautifully into the whole décor you can also use industrial pendant lights or numerous other small details that would match this style. The similarities can also relate to color, texture and pattern so there are also other possibilities.
