Is mosaic tile good for kitchen backsplash?
Overall, glass mosaic tile is easier to clean than tiles made of ceramic, wood, and mirror tiles. In addition, glass mosaic tile backsplashes are non-porous and are resistant to staining, bacteria, mildew, and mold. This is a great concern for homeowners who are installing a tile backsplash in their kitchen.
Is a stone backsplash hard to clean?
Stacked stone backsplashes have a rough, porous texture and plenty of crevices that trap food or liquid spatters. They are difficult, but not impossible to clean. Use a stone-safe, pH neutral cleaner and a brush with bristles stiff enough to reach the nooks and crannies but soft enough to be non-abrasive.
Should backsplash be lighter or darker than countertop?
The design should be used to balance out the light and dark shades of the other elements, so if you have light cabinets and countertops, you may want to choose a dark backsplash to bring more depth to the kitchen. If you have very dark cabinets or countertops, a light backsplash will help the kitchen feel fresh.
