When you think of glass in the kitchen you probably think about the gorgeous glass-front cabinets that feature your favorite serving pieces. While we love that style, and we think it works well with both modern and traditional kitchen designs, there is so much more you can do with glass in your kitchen! Today we want to focus on glass backsplashes. Glass backsplashes are gorgeous alternatives to tile and stone no matter what kind of look you are going for. With a ton of options in color, texture, and thickness it’s no wonder that glass backsplashes are gaining in popularity!
Glass backsplashes can be fabricated from a single sheet of glass, or multiple sheets that are installed flush to one another, custom cut just for your kitchen! The glass backsplashes can be painted, frosted, patterned, etc. You can also install transparent glass over wallpaper. The glass backsplash protects the paper and really makes the wallpaper designs pop! Another benefit of glass backsplashes are that they don’t have any grout lines.
One thing to remember when thinking about a glass backsplash is that just like any other glass surface, it will show fingerprints. Caring for glass in the kitchen is straightforward. Wash with soap and water after you cook, and do a weekly cleaning using a mix of warm water and white vinegar. The only thing you need to be careful with is scrub brushes. They can scratch the glass, so use a cloth to clean it.
Glass backsplashes are so versatile, the only limit you have is your imagination! With the benefits of being inexpensive, easy to clean, and low-maintenance, glass backsplashes will provide you with a kitchen that looks as good as it functions.
